Marijuana Soda Introduced by California Entrepreneur Clay Butler: Look for Refreshing Canna Cola in California This Spring

Categories: Marijuana

Canna Cola
Don't spark it, sip it.
Marijuana is a little like sex. Its fans can't get enough of it -- any which way. There are pipes, bongs, joints, pills, vaporizers, candy, brownies and now ... Canna Cola.

That's right. It was only a matter of time before a Californian said it's time to have some dope and a smile. But here it is, a full line of pot pop.

According to the Santa Cruz Sentinel flavors include ...

Canna Cola, the Dr Pepper-like Doc Weed, the lemon-lime Sour Diesel, the grape-flavored Grape Ape and the orange-flavored Orange Kush.

Santa Cruz entrepreneur Clay Butler came up with the soda pot and says it'll be rolled out in Colorado in February and might be available right here in the Golden State by spring.

One catch is that California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has a bill working its way through congress that would double penalties for anyone convicted of making marijuana candy products and/or marketing them to children.

Does soda pot qualify? Not sure.

The line of pops, marketed by Diavolo Brands, is said to be much mellower and lighter than pot drinks currently on the market. (We' just waiting for bud beer).

The Canna Cola line is said to have a "mild marijuana taste." (We just hope it doesn't pick up a hint of Mexican drug cartel terroir or the complexities of the kind of bloodshed that involve America's pot supply lines). Mmm. Refreshing.

Clay Butler, by the way, describes himself as a non-weed-smoking "clean-living guy."

I remember living behind a church were Brian Lamb, and a bunch of theseCNN guys used too have a wood shop. At that place of residence someonethought I needed an exorcist, after playing in the mud the way very youngchildren will sometimes with my uncle who mixed a glass of this red clayin water and told me it was chocolate milk. After doing so I broke outwith ring worm all over my body and my mom told me it was writing thatcould not be understood so she had a priest come in from the church. Ihad a fever of well over a hundred and I was a bloody mess with theinfection. The priest came in with outer guys and one had a camera. Onepriest would throw me across the room well the other snapped a picture. Iwould fall on furniture and the floor and they would tell me get on thebed, don't get off the bed very loud and when I would crawl back on thebed they would pick me up and throw me over and over again well the otherpriest would snap another picture and this went on till one guy said wehave enough picture and they left me in the blood, mud, and bedding, thenmy aunt came in with some save that was for ring worm. She spread thesave and kidded me about dying when the rings got to my heart. Aftergetting well I went back to the wood shop and the guys had made me aspecial shield and gave me my sword which were both made of wood and Ihad to fight one of the guys in my shorts because I did not want toremove them and the other guy was naked. I was still not up too speed andlost the battle. They then called me the bad guy and this group wassupposed to be my gate keeper or something like that appointed by thepriests. My Dad did not like them much also but that did not matter muchbecause someone at the church was going to be my new dad till he said no,my mom cried allot, my dad was gone and I healed up, but I still have acase. you have been served</info@homefacts.com></digital.media.solutions@gmail.com></digital.media.solutions@gmail.com></info@homefacts.com></errorreport@homefacts.com></digital.media.solutions@gmail.com></digital.media.solutions@gmail.com></errorreport@homefacts.com></digital.media.solutions@gmail.com>

While reading this, something jumped out that I wasn't aware of that should be the real story: "California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has a bill working its way through congress that would double penalties for anyone convicted of making marijuana candy products and/or marketing them to children."

Uhh... excuse me? Wouldn't it already be illegal to market such an item to children? And I don't recall there being some oh so dangerous epidemic of pot candy killing adults or wrecking their lives. How would that affect medical marijuana sales of edibles? And does she not have ANYTHING better to do?

Just saying...

To whom it may concern,

As a individual involved with the medical marijuana industry I was extremely disturbed to see the large amount of coverage that the news media bestowed onto a convicted sex offender attempting to enter the medical marijuana industry (http://healthland.time.com/201....

Scott Riddell (aka Scott Ridel, Scott Riddel) was listed in many media reports yesterday as an "entrepreneur" bringing to market a THC beverage Canna Cola. The truth behind the well spread press release is that Mr. Riddell has attempted to enter this market before and was rebuffed by several companies due to his serious and often disturbing criminal past.

Mr. Riddell has been convicted of sexually molesting a 14 year old girl in Las Vegas (http://www.wftv.com/news/23218....

He has run several scams regarding underage models in Florida (http://crimesagainstmodels.blo....

Mr. Riddell was also at the center of attention in a high profile Las Vegas death penalty case, his testimony that was originally used to convict a murder suspect was later over turned due to Mr. Riddell's credibility issues. (http://www.reviewjournal.com/l...

Mr. Riddell is exactly the type of individual that the medical marijuana industry does not need nor want as a representative.

He is a convicted criminal with a long history of premeditated acts intended to harm children and scam adults. Mr. Riddell was rebuked in his previous attempts to enter the industry; due to those good individuals who do comprise the medical marijuana industry seeing Mr. Riddell for what he is; a child molesting scam artist.

To those members of the media who are reporting the story of Canna Cola as an entrepreneurial venture, you are grossly misrepresenting the character of Mr. Riddell, and by doing so are grossly misrepresenting the medical marijuana industry as safe-haven for criminals.

In Colorado and all across the country there are thousands of law abiding citizens working hard everyday to legitimize this industry by self-regulating and keeping clear of criminals like Mr. Riddell, we would hope that the media would do the same.

Thanks for the kind words Jimmy. I didn't say it was new, and I noted some of the food items available. (I've written previously about pot food and their legality in California).

In terms of my ignorance of the gloriously legitimate pot-supplies in California and all that "high-quality hydroponic" (that, of course, is grown by nonprofit collectives for use by the seriously ill, as prescribed under Prop. 215), you're saying 1) that cartels have nothing to with any of the grow houses that get busted several times a year around here and 2) none of that shite weed being carried on the backs of illegals into this country makes its way into "dispensaries?" None of it? Prove it.

You're a great writer yourself, Jimmy.

Alan

Since when does someone have to prove a negative to validate a point? All you've done is pose garbage faux-questions. You're the reporter, if you have proof that cartel cannabis is being sold in L.A. pot shops, print it. Otherwise, you're just sliming an entire industry with innuendo.

1. Marijuana cola is nothing new. I know this seems shocking to readers of Huffington Post, Yahoo News, or Dennis Romero's mother, but medicinal marijuana food items of all sorts have been sold in the 15 years MM has been legal in CA. Is this really newsworthy? I've seen some hilarious MM items like Medicinal Matzoh, but medicinal soda? OMG! What's next? Medical brownies?

2. "We just hope it doesn't pick up a hint of Mexican drug cartel terroir or the complexities of the kind of bloodshed that involve America's pot supply lines" If you're so ignorant to believe that the high-quality hydroponic marijuana grown in and bought legally in California that was once only available in glossy, hi-quality High Times centerfolds has anything to do with the huge 50 pound Pot Busts that involve intra-border tunnels and dirty brown Mexican weed, you're even more ignorant than your snark shows.

3. You are a horrible writer.
