Soda Pot? Medical Marijuana Users Get Soft Drink

SOQUEL, California - A California entrepreneur has plans to market a line of 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-flavored Grape Ape and orange-flavored Orange Kush.

A bottle will cost $10 to $15.

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

"Even though, personally, I'm not interested and I don't think it's right for me," Butler told the newspaper, "I'm a firm believer that adults have an inalienable right to think, eat, smoke, drink, ingest, decorate, dress any way they choose to do so. It's your life; it's your body."
