At Heti, we believe calm should come naturally. Each of our beverages is crafted with low doses of THC and CBD, which are two plant-based compounds that help support balance, connection, and relaxation. But what exactly are cannabinoids, and how do they work together to create Heti’s signature sense of ease?

What Are Cannabinoids?

Cannabinoids are natural compounds found in cannabis plants (hemp and marijuana) more than 100 of them exist, each with its own unique properties. The two most well-known are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol).

These compounds interact with the cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which is found in nearly all animals, including vertebrates (mammals, birds, reptiles, fish) and invertebrates (insects). This suggests that the endocannabinoid system is an ancient and evolutionarily conserved mechanism.

The presence of cannabinoid receptors in mammals indicates that they play an important role in regulating various physiological processes, such as pain perception, appetite, sleep, and immune function. Research in mammals, including mice, rats, dogs, and cats, has provided valuable insights into the function and therapeutic potential of the endocannabinoid system. 

THC: Euphoric & Psychoactive

THC, short for tetrahydrocannabinol, is one of the primary cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It’s best known for its ability to produce euphoric or uplifting effects, often described as a “high.”

In higher concentrations, THC can alter perception and mood more noticeably. However, when enjoyed in low doses, THC offers a much gentler experience. It can help ease physical tension, encourage relaxation, and support a more positive outlook without overwhelming the senses.

THC works by binding to specific receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system, mainly the CB1 receptors located in the brain and nervous system. This interaction helps regulate functions such as mood, memory, sleep, and appetite.

In Heti beverages, each serving is intentionally formulated to create a balanced, approachable effect. This subtle dose allows you to feel calm and uplifted while maintaining clarity and control which is ideal for mindful drinking.

CBD: Calm and Centered

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is another primary cannabinoid found in hemp and marijuana plants but unlike THC, it’s non-intoxicating. This means it doesn’t create a “high.” Instead, CBD interacts more subtly with the body, helping to promote calm, balance, and overall well-being.

CBD works by influencing both CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which are involved in regulating stress response, immune function, and inflammation. Rather than binding directly to these receptors like THC does, CBD acts as a modulator, helping your body maintain equilibrium naturally.

Research suggests that CBD may help support relaxation, reduce occasional stress, and improve sleep quality by interacting with serotonin and GABA receptors, the same systems that help manage mood and rest.

In Heti beverages, CBD and THC work together to create balance: CBD softens THC’s intensity while enhancing its calming effects, resulting in a clear-headed, steady sense of relaxation that feels restorative, not sedative.

The Harmony of THC and CBD

When THC and CBD are enjoyed together, they create what scientists refer to as the entourage effect, a natural interaction where multiple cannabinoids and plant compounds work synergistically to enhance one another’s benefits.

THC primarily activates receptors in the brain and nervous system, while CBD interacts more broadly across the body, including the immune and peripheral systems. When combined, CBD helps moderate THC’s intensity, leading to a smoother, more balanced experience. At the same time, THC can amplify CBD’s calming and mood-enhancing effects.

This thoughtful balance is at the core of Heti’s formulation. Each beverage contains 3mg of THC and 5mg of CBD, allowing both cannabinoids to shine in harmony with the one another.

Why Low-Dose Matters

The effects of THC and CBD are very dose-dependent, meaning that smaller amounts can often create a more balanced and enjoyable experience. This concept is sometimes referred to as a “sweet spot”, the point where cannabinoids provide calm and clarity without overwhelming the senses.

Rather than overpowering or disorienting effects, you’ll most likely feel subtle relaxation, lifted mood, and mental ease that fits naturally into your routine.

From a biological perspective, low doses help the endocannabinoid system respond in a more regulated way, activating beneficial pathways associated with stress relief and homeostasis without overstimulating the body’s receptors.

At Heti, we believe less is more. Low-dose beverages allow you to enjoy the benefits of cannabinoids without losing clarity or control. You can sip socially, unwind after work, or ease into your nightly ritual, all while staying fully present.

The Potential Benefits of Cannabinoids

While research is still evolving, cannabinoids like THC and CBD have been widely studied for their potential to support overall wellness. When used in moderation, they may help the body and mind maintain balance through the endocannabinoid system, the network that’s responsible for regulating mood, sleep, stress, and more.

Some of the most commonly reported benefits include:

• Supporting relaxation and a calm state of mind

• Promoting deeper, more restful sleep

• Easing mild aches or everyday tension

• Encouraging a more positive mood and outlook

• Supporting recovery and balance after physical or mental exertion

Because everyone’s endocannabinoid system is unique, the effects can vary from person to person. The key is mindful consumption and discovering what dose and rhythm work best for you.
