Cannabis-infused fizzy drinks on sale in US
The 'ridiculously relaxing' drinks come with 10mg of marijuana in cherry, lemon or pomegranate flavour Three bongs and your out...I mean cans...'The US is going to pot...what do you think?

Quote
A cannabis-infused fizzy drink is now on sale in the state of Washington as part of the ever-expanding US market for legal pot products.

Less than two months after recreational cannabis became legal in the west coast state, Washingtonians can now get their highs out of a soda bottle.

The drinks, called Legal, come in cherry, lemon and pomegranate flavours but are all infused with 10mg of liquid cannabis. The drinks cost around $10 (£6).

They are being marketed as a gentler alternative to smoking that could be attractive to those still wary about cannabis.

"It's much more approachable, as opposed to 'Hey, mom and dad, do you want a joint?'" said Adam Stites, the founder of Mirth Provisions.
           

But the Washington-based company has not forgotten its more traditional stoner market. The Lemon Ginger flavoured drink is presented with the tagline: "Couch, meet butt".

It promises the drink is "so ridiculously relaxing that you may find yourself becoming one with your furniture".

The company is hoping to begin selling iced coffee shortly, promoting their Cold Brew as a drink with a mild high that could be drunk with breakfast.

"You’ll swim off into a day of work or play filled to the brim with pure joy," they promise.

For now the fizzy drinks will only be sold in Washington's certified cannabis dispensaries but could one day be available on supermarket shelves.

Recreational cannabis became legal in Washington state in July, making it the second state to legalise cannabis after Colorado began sales in January.

Voters in Alaska and Oregon, Washington's neighbouring state, will have their say on similar measures during referenda in November.

This is so sort of awful.  Little kids can get hold of these sodas.  If they have $10, which it seems they do.  I for one don't like this.

Little kids can get ahold of alcohol too, so I don't see the difference.

Do the drinks actually contain CBD or THC? This would make it the marijuna alcopops.

Have any of you even ever been in a dispensary?

There are several different food and drink and ice creams, hand creams, lotions, salves, sprays, oils........etc.

More medibles then you thought possible.


And of course a high cbd soda is out

Seriously though, I see no cause for alarm. There's no reason to suppose kids will get this any more than they'd get alcohol or just weed in general. Your point seems rather silly.

This sounds amazing. So glad for the people that cbd helps, they can now get it easier now than before.

These drinks taste awful.

I've tried a variety and the taste of cannabis is not that great and even worse when put into a drink.

I'll stick to my Nerds rope and lollipop edibles thank you very much.
