Not every cannabis consumer wants to smoke. Not every occasion calls for flowers. Sometimes the right product is a 2oz bottle you can drop into your drink, share at a cookout, or keep in your pocket on the way to Warinanco Park on a Saturday afternoon.
Journeyman makes that product. And it is now available at Budzooka, your dispensary in Elizabeth, NJ, at 142 Broad St.
We are stocking three Journeyman Lemonade Syrups: Blueberry Lemonade with a 1:2 CBN-to-THC ratio, Tropical Lemonade with 100mg THC, and Watermelon Lemonade with a 1:2 CBC-to-THC ratio. Each bottle is 2oz, vegan, gluten-free, all-natural, and made from scratch in-house by Journeyman using a recipe built to complement the cannabis rather than mask it. Ten capfuls per bottle. Each capful is a single 10mg serving.
This post breaks down all three flavors, the minor cannabinoid ratios that make two of them different from standard THC edibles, and how to use them, so you know exactly what you are buying before you order online or stop into our marijuana dispensary in Elizabeth, NJ.
Journeyman describes their mission simply: “Life is a journey, man. Enjoy the ride.”
Built around the idea of bringing old-school simplicity back to cannabis edibles, Journeyman makes all-natural, vegan, gluten-free treats using real fruit and cannabis extract with no artificial flavors, no synthetic dyes, and no unnecessary ingredients. Their philosophy is stated plainly on their site: real fruit and reefer for high-quality, all-natural treats.
The Lemonade Syrups are among the most requested formats at NJ dispensaries because of their flexibility. You can use a full capful for a 10mg dose in any drink, take half a capful for a 5mg dose, mix it into a mocktail, add it to sparkling water, or take it straight. The small 2oz bottle fits in any bag or pocket and does not require refrigeration until opened. For consumers visiting a recreational dispensary in New Jersey who want a discreet, easy-to-use, flavor-forward cannabis product, Journeyman syrups have become one of the most talked-about options in the edibles category.
Order Blueberry Lemonade at Budzooka
Format: 2oz bottle, 10 servings
Cannabinoids: 100mg THC and 50mg CBN total. 10mg THC and 5mg CBN per capful.
Ratio: 1:2 CBN to THC
Flavor: Rich blueberry sweetness balanced with sour lemon. Journeyman describes it as groovy blue dreams with a splash of sour.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, all-natural, made from scratch in-house
Ingredients: Filtered water, sugar, natural flavoring extracts, malic acid, gum arabic, sodium benzoate, coconut oil, cannabis extract, natural coloring
The Blueberry Lemonade is the most nighttime-oriented of the three Journeyman syrups at Budzooka, and the reason is CBN.
Cannabinol, known as CBN, is a minor cannabinoid that forms as THC ages and oxidizes. It is increasingly studied for its potential to support relaxation and restful sleep, and it has developed a strong reputation among cannabis consumers who want the grounding, settled quality of a heavy indica session without as much psychoactive intensity at the THC level. In Journeyman’s 1:2 CBN to THC ratio, the CBN works alongside the THC rather than competing with it. The result is a synergistic effect that consumers consistently describe as a deep, mellow, stone-to-the-couch ride that lands smooth and stays settled.
The blueberry flavor is genuine and natural. Reviewers have described the nose as ripe blueberry flesh leading into tangy lemon juice, without the artificial edge that candy-flavored cannabis products often carry. The sour lemon finish keeps it from reading as sweet-only and brings a refreshing balance to the flavor profile.
If you are visiting the dispensary in Elizabeth, NJ, after work on a Friday and want something to unwind with that is not flower, Blueberry Lemonade is the syrup for that evening. Add a capful to sparkling water and cold ice, or take it straight. Either way, the CBN component is what makes this the most relaxation-oriented product in the Journeyman lineup at Budzooka.
Order Tropical Lemonade at Budzooka
Format: 2oz bottle, 10 servings
Cannabinoids: 100mg THC total. 10mg THC per capful.
Ratio: THC only, no added minor cannabinoids
Flavor: Bright, tangy lemonade layered with tropical fruits, including pineapple, mango, and passionfruit
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, all-natural, made from scratch in-house
Ingredients: Filtered water, sugar, natural flavoring extracts, malic acid, gum arabic, sodium benzoate, coconut oil, cannabis extract, natural coloring
The Tropical Lemonade is the most versatile and social of the three Journeyman syrups. It contains 100mg THC with no added minor cannabinoids, which means the effect profile is entirely driven by the THC and whatever tolerance and body chemistry the consumer brings to it. There is no CBN grounding it toward sedation and no CBC modifying the experience in any particular direction. It is a clean THC edible in liquid format.
The flavor is the selling point. Bright, tangy lemonade opens the nose and palate, then pineapple, mango, and passionfruit layer beneath to create a tropical-fruit character that is complex without being artificial. Journeyman makes this product from scratch in-house, which means the tropical profile comes from actual fruit-adjacent natural flavoring rather than synthetic fruit compounds.
This is the syrup for summer in Elizabeth, NJ. It works at a backyard cookout on Newark Avenue, mixed into a mocktail before an evening out on Broad St, or dropped into sparkling water for a poolside session at Warinanco Park. Because the effect profile is straightforward THC with no minor cannabinoid modification, it is the most approachable of the three Journeyman syrups for consumers who are newer to liquid cannabis formats or who want a daytime or social effect without the nighttime lean that CBN adds.
At 10mg per capful, it is also the easiest format for precise dose control. Start with one capful in a drink, wait 45 to 90 minutes before considering a second dose, and build from there.
Order Watermelon Lemonade at Budzooka
Format: 2oz bottle, 10 servings
Cannabinoids: 100mg THC and 50mg CBC total. 10mg THC and 5mg CBC per capful.
Ratio: 1:2 CBC to THC
Flavor: Refreshing watermelon sweetness blended with tart lemonade. Journeyman describes it as bursting with fruity sweetness and tangy tartness.
Dietary: Vegan, gluten-free, all-natural, made from scratch in-house
Ingredients: Filtered water, sugar, natural flavoring extracts, malic acid, gum arabic, sodium benzoate, coconut oil, cannabis extract, natural coloring
The Watermelon Lemonade is the most distinctive and least familiar of the three Journeyman syrups for most cannabis consumers, and the reason is CBC.
Cannabichromene, known as CBC, is a minor cannabinoid that differs from CBD and CBN in a specific and meaningful way. CBC does not bind to the CB1 or CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system the way THC does. Instead, it binds to TRPV1 and TRPA1 receptors in the brain, which are involved in pain perception and inflammation response. This binding pathway has made CBC one of the more actively researched minor cannabinoids in the industry, and it is increasingly showing up in premium cannabis formulations specifically because it offers a different kind of supporting character alongside THC than CBD or CBN provides.
In Journeyman’s 1:2 CBC to THC ratio, the CBC adds a layer of physical ease and body comfort to the THC effect profile without the heavy grounding quality of CBN. Where Blueberry Lemonade with CBN pulls you toward settled relaxation, Watermelon Lemonade with CBC is lighter, more functional, and more physically comfortable across the session without tipping into sedation.
The flavor on this one is the most refreshing of the three. Reviewers have described the watermelon as sweet artificial melon at the top, followed by a much fuller natural watermelon flesh note in the body, with tart lemon cutting through the sweetness for a clean finish. It is the summer afternoon syrup. Best served cold, in sparkling water or mixed into a light cocktail.
All three Journeyman syrups at Budzooka come in 2-oz bottles with dosing caps. The cap holds approximately 6mL, which is one serving at 10mg THC per capful.
Three ways to use them:
Add one capful to any cold drink. Sparkling water, lemonade, iced tea, a mocktail, or a soft drink. Shake the bottle first. The syrup mixes easily and adds minimal flavor when used in a larger drink, or becomes the dominant flavor when added to sparkling water alone.
Take the capful straight. The 2oz bottle is small enough to finish as a single shot at the full 100mg dose, but Journeyman designs the cap specifically for single 10mg servings so you can control your experience from session to session.
Use as a drink mixer for a social setting. One bottle of Tropical Lemonade mixed into a pitcher of sparkling water and ice serves 10 people at 10mg each. This is the most common use case at group gatherings and the reason Journeyman syrups have built a following at social cannabis events across New Jersey.
Dosing guidance for new consumers:
If you are new to cannabis edibles or liquid formats, start with one capful at 10mg and wait a full 90 minutes before considering a second dose. Edibles and liquid cannabis products metabolize differently from inhaled cannabis. The onset is slower, typically 30 to 90 minutes, but the effect duration is longer, and the experience can be more intense at equivalent THC amounts. Do not redose because you do not feel anything within 30 minutes. The capful dosing system exists specifically to make this easy to manage.
Choose Blueberry Lemonade if: You want to unwind at the end of the day. The 1:2 CBN to THC ratio adds a mellow, settling quality to the THC effect that makes this the most nighttime-appropriate of the three. Best for evenings, slow Sundays, or any session where relaxation is the explicit goal.
Choose Tropical Lemonade if: You want a social, daytime, or versatile option with no minor cannabinoid modification. Pure THC, tropical fruit flavor, and easy dose control make this the most approachable and widely enjoyed of the three. Best for cookouts, social settings, or any consumer who wants to start with a straightforward product before exploring the minor cannabinoid ratios.
Choose Watermelon Lemonade if you want the most refreshing flavor profile in a THC plus CBC format that provides physical comfort without heaviness. Best for afternoon sessions, active or semi-active use, and consumers who are curious about minor cannabinoids but want something lighter than CBN.
