Jones Soda today announced that its crossover cannabis brand Mary Jones has expanded into hemp delta-9 for its THC-infused craft sodas. The brand has also launched a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform, which will carry Mary Jones delta-9 craft sodas with more delta 9-infused products to come.
Jones Soda said it is the first nationally distributed CPG soda company to crossover into delta-9. It was also the first in its market to expand to cannabis when Mary Jones launched in Californian dispensaries in 2022.
The new Mary Jones HD9-infused craft sodas are created with the exact same formulation of Jones Soda, adapted for HD9 with lab-tested THC derived from hemp. The sodas are sold in 12-ounce cans with either 2.5, 5, or 10 milligrams of low dose hemp THC, in four classic Jones' flavors including Root Beer, Orange and Cream, Green Apple, and Mary Jones' award-winning Berry Lemonade. The company will also introduce new and special release flavors in 2024. Mary Jones HD9 sodas will also include user-generated labels, just as the Jones brand does.
The company's e-commerce store will ship to all states with exception of Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, Idaho, and Oregon due to state regulations. Certificates of analysis for all Mary Jones HD-9 products are provided on its e-commerce website. Mary Jones HD9 is currently available at retail in six markets (MA, FL, OH, MN, AL, SoCal ) with many more to come.
"There's a great evolution happening among today's consumers and retailers. They are adapting to legal cannabis and THC products, whether low dose Hemp Derived Delta-9 or traditional higher dosed THC options via state regulated markets," said David Knight, CEO of Jones Soda. "Jones Soda always delivers best tasting products, and our Mary Jones range of beverages and edibles don't disappoint. Mary Jones now sits squarely in this trajectory, with low dose HD9 and traditional cannabis products that meet the demand."
