Craft soda maker Jones Soda is known for its bold and unique flavors like Candy Corn and Berried Alive, and now the brand is introducing a new line of drinks called Mary Jones. This line reintroduces some of the soda brand's most popular flavors but with a cannabis twist. "We’re taking our brand as-is into cannabis," Bohb Blair, chief brand officer of the Mary Jones Cannabis Co. and CMO of Jones Soda told Adweek.
Mary Jones beverages are infused with 10 milligrams of THC and they are coming to California dispensaries in varieties like root beer, berry lemonade, green apple and orange and cream. This unapologetic and adult take on its most beloved flavors offers something new for diehard fans who want experiences that are both refreshing, flavorful and relaxing.
