Jones Soda Co. today introduced two new flavours of its Mary Jones cannabis-infused beverage brand. The delicious new additions include 10 milligrams and 100 mg THC-infused MF grape and cola flavours formulated with the same pure cane sugar and taste that has made mainline Jones a consumer favorite for more than 25 years. Both flavours will be available at California dispensaries starting in early June, 2023, with additional recreational cannabis states to come this year. MF Grape is known to be the MF'ing greatest among Jones most passionate fans. Mary Jones Cola is a true classic formulation, the perfect old school taste. The 10 mg MF grape and cola cannabis sodas come in single-serving 12-ounce glass bottles. The 100 mg sodas are packaged in 16 oz resealable, child-resistant, multiserve cans designed for paced consumption and/or social sharing with friends. With these two flavour releases, Jones Soda solidifies its take on the classic soda shelf which includes THC-infused sodas and syrups in root beer, berry lemonade, green apple, and orange and cream. "Mary Jones dipped into the cupboards of the mainline brand once again due to demand for its MF grape and cola flavours among cannabis consumers, transferring Jones' most popular favourites to the THC community," said Brooks Jorgensen, president at KSS. "Cola was strategically driven. It's an iconic flavour profile. With MF grape, Jones fans have demanded its return, so it was brought back in both mainline Jones and Mary Jones." Jones is the first branded soda company to expand into the cannabis market and one of the first mainstream consumer brands to crossover into the industry. Leveraging its classic product formulation and unique flavours, it has rapidly become California's top infused carbonated beverage and the state's fastest-growing cannabis brand. It has recently expanded to Michigan, Nevada and Washington, with plans to offer Mary Jones in all legal states "Our team has been getting calls and e-mails from dispensaries and cannabis consumers in other legal states about how they can get Mary Jones locally. They know the Jones brand and want Mary Jones products," said Mark Murray, president and chief executive officer of Jones Soda Company. "There's a special romance with these two classic Jones flavours among consumers. MF grape and cola are great additions to Mary Jones." About Jones Soda Co.
