A California entrepreneur has plans to market a line medical marijuana soft drinks.

Clay Butler says he plans to supply medical marijuana dispensaries with his soda pot, which contains the psychoactive marijuana ingredient THC, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel newspaper.

Marijuana drinks are already showing up here and there, but Butler says he thinks his branding savvy will make his product a hit.

Besides his flagship cola drink, Canna Cola, he will also produce Dr Pepper-like Doc Weed, lemon-lime Sour Diesel, grape-flavoured Grape Ape and orange-flavoured Orange Kush.

A bottle will cost US$10 to US$15.

The Soquel-based commercial artist tells the newspaper that he doesn't do drugs or need medical marijuana for any ailments.

I guess the kindergarten kids will be saying "good shit man" .... "this is good shit" or whatever the jargon is!

Unfortunately his best customers can't remember where they bought it.

Smoking is primitive and harmful to the respiratory system.

Not only is the desired part of the plant ingested, but CO3 and gases from burnt plant material.

Some people actually like the noxious by products of smoking plant material...

The future of cannabis will be in a lozenge form for medicinal use, and in alcoholic drinks for pleasure

Smoking pot is a cocktail of things in comparison to lifting THC from bud with 100% alcohol extraction.

Its a far healthier way. But the law in NZ treats any drink product as a B class drug and incur greater penalties in court, than just buds for smoking.

From a health/justice perspective, this is wrong to punish cannabis users more for engaging a less harmful approach to using cannabis....

Unfortunately cannabis is a much maligned plant and so many of it's good attributes are lost due to it's low % of less desirable properties!

This IMHO is more about public immaturity and authoritative hysteria than the plant!

I don't do drugs of any type so I am not a closet user/believer just a bit realistic about the plant's true value!
