We Ship THC & CBD Seltzer Drinks to Des Moines, Iowa
Des Moines, Iowa
Des Moines is an outdoor city in every sense — over 800 miles of trails threading through some of the most scenic river corridors in the Midwest, a reservoir that locals treat like a Great Lake, and parks that reward the people who actually show up. Pause Sparkling Water ships hemp-derived THC and CBD seltzers straight to your door anywhere in Iowa, so whether you're finishing a lap around Gray's Lake or cooling down after a long Neal Smith Trail ride, your can is cold and ready.
Des Moines knows how to move at its own pace — and Pause+ fits right in. Hemp-derived THC and CBD, sparkling water, bold fruit flavors — and absolutely nothing artificial. Zero calories, zero alcohol, zero compromise. Available in 2.5 mg in compliance with Iowa's consumable hemp regulations.
Iowa's hemp laws are some of the more conservative in the country, which means the selection of legal THC beverages for Des Moines residents is limited to lower-dose options. Pause+ 2.5 mg meets that standard with flying colors: clean ingredients, bold flavors, zero calories, zero alcohol, and a smooth uplifted feeling that fits every kind of day the city offers.
Pause+ 2.5 mg THC Seltzer
A lighter dose for anyone just getting started with THC drinks, or for days when you want a gentle lift without much intensity. Smooth, refreshing, and easy to enjoy any time — and fully compliant with Iowa's 4 mg per serving limit.
2.5 mg THC + CBD
Wildberry 2.5 mg
Bold berry flavor at a light, Iowa-compliant dose. Fuel a long Neal Smith Trail ride before you hit the river corridor.

Looking for all the calm without the buzz? Pause CBD delivers 20 mg of hemp-derived CBD per can with the same bold fruit flavors and zero calories. No THC, no alcohol, no compromise — a drink you can reach for any time of day, whether you're post-ride on the Meredith Trail, watching the light come off Gray's Lake at dusk, or just taking the edge off a long Iowa week.

CBD Lemon Lime 4-Pack
Bright and citrusy with 20 mg of premium CBD. Clean and refreshing after a long Iowa week.
Hemp-derived THC drinks are legal in Des Moines and throughout Iowa for adults 21 and older, subject to Iowa's specific state regulations. Pause+ is made with hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, which is permitted under the 2018 Farm Bill as long as products contain less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. Iowa further regulates consumable hemp products under House File 2605 (effective July 1, 2024), which sets a maximum of 4 mg of THC per serving for products sold in the state. Pause+ 2.5 mg cans are fully compliant with both federal and Iowa state law.
Every can of Pause+ is independently lab tested by a third-party laboratory to confirm it meets those federal standards, and Pause ships legally throughout Iowa and across the United States.
⚠️ Important: Hemp-derived THC products are intended for adults 21 and older. While Pause+ is federally compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill, laws around hemp-derived THC can vary at the state and local level and may change. Always verify current regulations in your area before purchasing.
Where to Enjoy Pause in Des Moines
Des Moines is an outdoor city in every sense — and Pause is the perfect companion for all of it. Here are some of our favorite spots to enjoy a cold Pause in the city:
🌊
Gray's Lake Park
One of Des Moines's most beloved outdoor spaces — a scenic urban park just minutes from downtown, anchored by a 1.9-mile paved trail that loops the entire lake and a pedestrian bridge that glows at night and connects directly to the Meredith Trail and Waterworks Park. Paddleboat rentals on the water, a sand beach on the north side, and skyline views that are genuinely hard to beat on a clear evening.
→ Recommended: CBD Berry 20 mg
🌉
High Trestle Trail Bridge
About 25 miles northwest of Des Moines near Madrid, this is one of the most iconic trail structures in the country — a 13-story-tall, half-mile-long pedestrian and cycling bridge spanning the Des Moines River valley, with a stunning latticework of steel that frames the river below. The trail itself runs 25 miles connecting Ankeny to Woodward through rolling Iowa countryside and small towns.
→ Recommended: Lemon Lime Lift 2.5 mg
⛵
Saylorville Lake
A 5,400-acre reservoir just north of Des Moines that functions as the city's unofficial beach — wide sandy shoreline, boat ramps, kayak and canoe access, swimming areas, and miles of trails along the water's edge connecting into the 26-mile Neal Smith Trail. The butterfly garden and the mile-long bridge across the dam are both worth the trip on their own.
→ Recommended: CBD Tropical 20 mg
🚴
Neal Smith Trail
Des Moines's backbone trail — a 26-mile paved path running along the Des Moines River from downtown south through Raccoon River Park and up through Saylorville Lake, passing wildflower prairie meadows, river bluffs, and the Chichiqua Bottoms Greenbelt. Connections to the Clive Greenbelt, Walnut Creek Trail, and Meredith Trail make it the hub of Des Moines's broader 800-mile trail network.
→ Recommended: Wildberry 2.5 mg
🏞️
Ledges State Park
About 20 miles north of Des Moines near Boone, Ledges is one of Iowa's most dramatic natural landscapes — deep sandstone canyon walls, dense forest, creek crossings, and scenic overlooks along trails through Pea's Creek canyon. The stone arch bridge over Pease Creek, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, is one of the most photographed spots in Iowa. In fall the canyon fills with color in a way that's genuinely stunning.
