Jones Soda launches new line of cannabis-infused products – Yahoo Finance

– Welcome back, everyone.

And taking a look at where, particularly, cannabis, how that performed over the past five days, you’ve got some of the big names there.

So we’ll keep a close eye on all of these names and much more.

But there’s a whole new high coming mom and dad’s way, courtesy of Jones Sodas THC-infused sodas syrups and gummies under the brand name Mary Jones.

We’ve taken the signature flavors from Jones and pulled ’em through into four unbelievable formats of cannabis products that you just outlined– a 10-milligram session soda, a 100-milligram 10-dose soda, this 1,000-milligram syrup that you just had on the screen, which I have to say is an incredible product.

So if you live in California, we can share product very soon, and we’re going to be expanding across the country from there.

– And that’s the difficulty in the cannabis space right now.

And those states you mentioned– New York, Michigan, you know, actually where I’m from originally, those are some of the strongest markets for Jones.

And the truth is, there’s a lot of things that would prevent those bigger companies from getting into the space, from their operations to the reality of their brand and who their consumers are today.

And we have operational expertise in really nimbly navigating bottling, CPG, and distribution, whereas those bigger players are really stuck in their scale operations.

My first concern was, what is this product going to look like, and what would stop a kid from getting confused if, say, this were in a parent’s fridge– in particular, Bob, with 1,000 milligrams in one bottle? That could cause a major problem if kids were to get a hold of it.

But the truth is that we measured our consumer base before getting into this category, and we are very much a predominantly adult-driven company.

For us, “Mary Jones” isn’t just a cute nod at one of the most famous colloquialisms in the cannabis culture, but it really is a distinct way to say what this product is in comparison to our mainline products.
