MIXING MARYS
THE FAB FOUR
In 1996, a group of soda geeks hatched an idea: to create the sexiest, best-tasting cane sugar craft soda in the world. Jones Soda was born and became a worldwide hit. With Mary Jones soda, the company’s foray into cannabis, the MO was to replicate the taste and flavor of Jones but infuse it with THC (10mg in the 12-ounce cans and 100mg in the 16-ounce cans). “A lot of the cannabis category is leaf, but that’s the legacy part of the category, the mature part,” remarked Bohb Blair, the Chief Marketing Officer at Jones Soda. “If you look at the new cannabis consumer, the people who want to bring it to a party or have it during a meal, a lot of them are turning to beverages. And it turns out those are not as easy to make.” Cannabis beverages have long suffered from tasting bad and not being marketed well. But with a playful design and an array of delicious flavors—Orange & Cream, Root Beer, Green Apple, Berry Lemonade, Green Apple—Mary Jones sodas have sweetened up dispensary shelves. Looking to expand their product line, the company has also launched HD9 vegan gummies (10mg) and Shooters (10mg), perfect for creating your own out-of-this-world mocktails. GoMaryJones.com
