Cannabidiol-Infused Sodas Offer Functional Benefits, Company Says

Los Angeles-based food and beverage company Acme Naturals says its soda infused with “functional” hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) is an “appealing, convenient, and cost-effective way” to consume America’s “hottest wellness ingredient.” The Tree Below Zero CBD soda, infused with 25mg or 100mg of CBD oil extract, is available nationwide in sweet lime, cranberry ginger, blueberry raspberry pomegranate and mandarin blood orange varieties. The functional benefits, according to the company, include balanced health, better sleep, intimacy, creativity, refreshment, and higher consciousness. Acme Naturals says the Tree Below Zero beverages are legal, containing less than 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and non-hallucinogenic. “It is not marijuana, it is not cannabis,” the company insists. “Drinking Tree Below Zero will not impair the consumer.”
