Coca-Cola Is Considering CBD For Infused Beverage Line

BNN Bloomberg reported this week that Coca-Cola Co. says it is keeping an eye on the legal cannabis industry and is considering its options for producing drinks infused with cannabidiol, or CBD, a non-intoxicating chemical found in cannabis and hemp that is believed to have numerous health and therapeutic properties.

According to BNN, the world's largest soft drink company is in talks with Canadian cannabis producer Aurora Cannabis to develop the products, which could add to Coca-Cola's growing list of alternatives to its sugary namesake beverage.

No deals between Coca-Cola and Aurora have been announced at this time. At present, the potential implications of the U.S.'s recent threats toward Canadian cannabis investors and producers are also unknown.
