加州研製出醫用大麻軟飲

美國加州一家飲料生產企業計劃推出一系列醫用大麻軟飲料，內含大麻中主要的精神活性物質THC（四氫大麻酚），每瓶售價10至15美元。據悉，除了旗艦產品“大麻可樂”外，這家企業還將推出類似Dr. Pepper的大麻飲品Doc Weed，以及檸檬、葡萄和香橙口味的大麻飲品。這家企業的負責人表示，雖然市面上時常有大麻飲品出現，但他的產品品牌效應會讓新產品受到熱捧。

A California entrepreneur has plans to market a line of medical marijuana soft drinks.

Clay Butler says he plans to supply medical marijuana dispensaries with his soda pot, which contains the psychoactive marijuana ingredient THC, according to the Santa Cruz Sentinel newspaper.

Marijuana drinks are already showing up here and there, but Butler says he thinks his branding savvy will make his product a hit.

Besides his flagship cola drink, Canna Cola, he will also produce Dr. Pepper-like Doc Weed, lemon-lime Sour Diesel, grape-flavored Grape Ape and orange-flavored Orange Kush.

A bottle will cost $10 to $15.

The Soquel-based commercial artist tells the newspaper that he doesn't do drugs or need medical marijuana for any ailments.

"Even though, personally, I'm not interested and I don't think it's right for me," Butler told the newspaper, "I'm a firm believer that adults have an inalienable right to think, eat, smoke, drink, ingest, decorate, dress any way they choose to do so. It's your life; it's your body."
