Coca-Cola explores cannabis as ingredient for soft drinks

Coca-Cola is exploring the possibility of using cannabis as an ingredient in soft drinks. According to a source, the company is in talks with Aurora Cannabis about a potential collaboration, but the plans are still in an early stage.

The drinks are reportedly to contain cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive substance in the cannabis plant. Coca-Cola emphasizes that it has no concrete plans yet but is interested in the possibilities.

Research into cannabis in food and beverages is growing in the US, where some states have legalized the plant. With its interest, Coca-Cola follows a trend in which more and more companies are looking at the application of natural substances in their products.

The company has not yet released further details about the possible composition or rollout of the new products.
