You’re three sips into a Little Rick, the day’s stress is melting, and now you’re thinking… can I have another? And maybe one more after that? We get it. Our CBD drinks go down smooth — but how many is too many? Let’s talk daily limits, the science behind them, and how to sip smart (without killing the vibe).
What Are CBD Drinks?
CBD drinks are functional beverages infused with cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp. Unlike THC, CBD doesn’t get you high — it just helps you chill.
At Little Rick, each can contains a full-spectrum 32mg dose. That means you're not just getting CBD. You're also getting the minor cannabinoids and terpenes that work together to enhance the calming effect — thanks to what's called the entourage effect.
Our drinks are designed for those who want stress relief, better sleep, or just a moment to unwind. And unlike most UK CBD drinks, ours don’t taste like watered-down wellness shots. Think soda — but smarter.
Why There’s No Clear Answer on CBD Drink Limits
There isn’t one single answer to the “how many CBD drinks can I have?” question. And there’s a good reason for that.
- The UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) previously recommended a daily maximum of 70mg of CBD(which is little under 2 cans of Little Rick’s), based on safety assessments up to 2023. However, more recent updates have significantly lowered this guideline to around 10mg of CBD per day for healthy adults. It’s important to note that this guidance specifically refers to CBD isolate - a highly purified and processed form of CBD. No official recommendations have yet been made for full-spectrum extracts, which include other cannabinoids and plant compounds and may behave differently in the body.
- Other studies have shown that doses up to 1500 mg per day are well-tolerated by humans, with minimal side effects. Dr. Esther Blessing, a psychiatrist at NYU, points out that “CBD appears safe in humans and animals” at fairly high levels. That’s been found by researchers across multiple studies.
So why the low limit? It’s a legal safety net. It exists not because higher doses are dangerous, but because more long-term research is still being done. For most people, CBD effects plateau after a certain point — more doesn’t always mean better.
That said, if you have different medical conditions or are on medication, always consult a healthcare professional before adding CBD to your routine. Safety first, even when it tastes this good.
How Many Little Rick Drinks Should You Consume for Maximum Benefit?
Our drinks are made on the stronger side, 1-2 drinks are usually enough for most people to feel the effects.
Whether you're chasing better sleep, stress relief, or a little bit of both, we got you covered.
But here's the thing — CBD isn’t caffeine. You don’t need six cans to stay upright. In fact, more than the recommended dose a day won’t necessarily make you feel "extra chill." You might just end up wasting good drinks.
Stick to one or two a day to feel the full benefit. Save the rest for tomorrow. Or your mate who’s eyeing your stash.
Can You Drink Too Many Little Rick Drinks?
Technically, yes — you can overdo CBD. But you won’t get high, hallucinate, or turn into a couch cushion.
Too much CBD may cause:
- Drowsiness
- Dry mouth
- An upset stomach
- Lowered blood pressure
Again, this usually happens at super high doses — way above what you’d get from three cans of Little Rick. Still, it’s best to pace yourself. If you're unsure, consult a healthcare professional for tailored advice.
How to Find Your Ideal CBD Drink Intake
Your perfect CBD dose depends on you. Here’s what plays a role:
- Body weight: Heavier individuals may need more CBD.
- Metabolism: Fast metabolism? You might process it quicker.
- CBD experience: First time? Start with one can and see how it feels.
- Time of day: Some prefer morning calm, others a night-time unwind.
Start low, go slow. See how your body reacts. Then adjust from there.
