California Soda Maker to Manufacture Legal Marijuana Soda

 Posted on January 30, 2011 in Drug Crimes

Public views on marijuana and the laws regulating the herbal substance are constantly changing. The debate about marijuana and its effects have caused states and legislatures all over the country to reconsider legalizing the drug. Some states already have - in the form of medical marijuana. Since medical marijuana became lawful (and popular), manufacturers are coming up with alternative ways to produce the product. 

Marijuana soda is the latest craze that will soon hit market shelves. Manufactured by a California soda maker in Soquel, California, Canna Cola (as it will be called) will reach medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado in just a few months.

The manufacturer says the new soda line will include the "flagship cola drink Canna Cola, Dr-Pepper-like Doc Week, the lemon-lime Sour Diesel, the Grape Ape, and the Orange Kush." Each 12-ounce bottle will include 35-65 milligrams of  tetrahydrocannabinoil (also known as TNC and the main ingredient in pot).

The manufacturer also has plans to soon distribute Canna Cola in the state of California as well.

Fifteen states as well as the District of Columbia have passed and legalized the possession and usage of medical marijuana. California, in particular, legalized medical marijuana in 1995 and allows authorized users to posses up to 8 ounces.
