Soft drink titan Coca-Cola is “closely watching” the market for drinks infused with cannabidiol, or CBD, the chemical in marijuana believed to relieve pain and anxiety.
Noting the space for cannabidiol-based drinks is “evolving quickly,” the company stressed that the ingredient doesn’t produce the high that comes from another cannabis-derived chemical known as THC.
“Along with many others in the beverage industry, we are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world,” Coca-Cola said Monday in a statement.
