In what signifies a buzzing trend of beverage innovation, Jones Soda is propelling its cannabis-infused brand, Mary Jones, into the Michigan market with a suite of THC-laced products. This move follows Jones Soda's foray into the burgeoning edibles market, with Michigan set to enjoy the brand's 20mg THC bottled sodas in eight different flavors, and 100mg sodas meant for sharing or those desiring stronger effects, as per information from WZZM13.

Handling production within the state, Emerald Canning Partners, a Michigan-based company, has teamed up with Jones Soda to craft these new offerings, including potent 200mg THC mixing syrups that come in flavors like Berry Lemonade and MF Grape which will hit the shelves ahead of sodas, as Matt McAlpine, president of Emerald Canning Partners said "We share a pioneering spirit with Mary Jones as trailblazers in new and emerging markets. Jones was the first non-alcoholic mainline beverage company to crossover into cannabis with Mary Jones, while Emerald Canning Partners was one of the first cannabis beverage companies in Michigan," McAlpine's comments were reported by WXYZ.

Further expanding its cannabis-centric portfolio, according to PRNewswire, Mary Jones has also launched a new line of 100mg Cannabis-Infused Shooters in California, offering consumers an alternative for on-the-go consumption with reduced calorie intake, the smaller-sized shooters come in several flavors, including Green Apple and Orange & Cream.

The Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt. Clemens will host the production of these zestful beverages, where the historic venue now serves as a nexus for craft beverage expertise meshed with high-quality cannabis extraction, Mary Jones has embedded its stake in the cannabis market not only with these liquid creations but also maintains a lineup of THC-infused gummies and shooters, although the latter has yet to be announced for the Michigan area, their cannabis products have seen an extensive outreach spanning 1,200 dispensaries across California, Washington, Canada, and now Michigan with continuous expansion on the horizon as underscored by David Knight, CEO of Jones Soda, who highlighted the brand's growth drivers with a focus on their nearly three-decade expertise in flavor science and consumer interest in alcohol alternatives.
