How to Buy Nowadays: Complete Guide to Sourcing the Infused Beverage
By Robert Thorne
Buying THC beverages online or in-store involves specific verification steps you rarely encounter when purchasing standard soda or non-alcoholic beer. State regulatory bodies treat hemp-derived social tonics as adult-only commodities.
Every online transaction requires third-party age verification software at checkout, where purchasers must submit valid identification confirming they are 21 years of age or older. Payment gateways run via compliant merchant processors; credit cards are accepted directly on the official Nowadays platform, eliminating the cash-only or debit-card-with-PIN restrictions common at state-licensed cannabis dispensaries.
When purchasing off retail shelves, verify the product's Certificate of Analysis (COA). Reputable retailers will stock bottles displaying a scannable QR code on the back label. Scanning this code takes you directly to third-party laboratory test results, confirming the bottle contains precise milligram counts of Delta-9 THC while testing clean for residual solvents, heavy metals, and pesticides.
