Jones Soda Co. has added Cola and Zero Cola flavors to its portfolio of Mary Jones hemp-derived delta-9-THC (HD9) beverages and edibles.
The products are among the first colas in the HD9 category, including the first HD9 zero-calorie cola, bringing the soft drink flavor to consumers seeking THC-based alcohol alternatives.
Both colas are made with new formulas leveraging Jones’ flavor expertise to deliver crisp, refreshing taste with no weedy aftertaste, thanks in part to rigorous THC distillate sourcing standards. Both come in 12-oz. cans with either 5 mg THC or 10 mg THC.
Like all mainline Jones craft sodas, Mary Jones HD9 Cola is sweetened with natural cane sugar. Mary Jones HD9 Zero Cola is sweetened with sucralose.
The new colas join the HD9 Berry Lemonade, Green Apple, MF Grape, and Orange & Cream soda flavors that launched Mary Jones’ hemp-infused line in January. The lineup now also includes gummies and 2-oz. shooters.
All products can be shipped direct to consumers in most states. The line is also available in liquor stores and other retail venues in many states.
“Cola accounts for half of the carbonated soft drinks flavors sold globally, so we tasked our flavor scientists with developing a completely new formulation that would outdo every other brand in taste,” said David Knight, CEO of Jones Soda. “We now have colas in both our HD9 and mainline craft soda collections, with other major new products launching this quarter to continue our strong growth.”
Jones Soda was the first nationally distributed CPG soda company to crossover into cannabis when it launched the Mary Jones brand in California in 2022 and also the first to enter the emerging HD9 market. Mary Jones cannabis products are now sold in dispensaries in California, Michigan, Washington and Canada, with ongoing expansion into other cannabis-legal markets.
