Sounds like an interesting idea ... especially considering that they have a history with putting drugs into their beverage
(for those who don't know ... the "Coca" in "Coca Cola" stands for "Cocaine" ... which was an important ingredient in the first Coca Cola (at least while Cocaine/Coca leaves were still legal))

So, well, why not try Marijuana

Coca-Cola 'in talks' over cannabis-infused drinks
Coca-Cola is best known for its eponymous caffeine-based drink, but the firm now appears to be experimenting with a different drug: cannabis.

According to Canada's BNN Bloomberg, the drinks giant is in talks with local producer Aurora Cannabis about developing marijuana-infused beverages.
These would not aim to intoxicate consumers but to relieve pain.
The firm declined to comment but said it was watching the cannabis drinks market closely.
"Along with many others in the beverage industry, we are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive cannabidiol as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world," Coca-Cola said in a statement.

Idiot Kidiot still ignoring the fact that Manafort took a plea bargain and is ratting out the orange nutcase. Kidiots head is exploding and now can only talk about Feinstein.

Idiot Feinstein is still calling on the FBI to conduct an investigation. They aren't doing one. And she's on the judiciary committee!

"Mr LePage made the comments while seeking to clarify remarks he made earlier in the week which were criticised as racist."

- well ... he certainly clarified it

Who knew - Kid is actually Governor of Maine

He's not racist, he just thinks that blacks and hispanics are criminals that should be shot.

The governor of Maine has said that people of colour were enemies of his state, and appeared to suggest they should be shot.

Speaking about Maine's effort to combat drug crime, Paul LePage said that "the enemy right now... are people of colour or people of Hispanic origin".

"When you go to war... and the enemy dresses in red and you dress in blue, then you shoot at red," he said.

Leading Democrats have urged him to resign.

Mr LePage made the comments while seeking to clarify remarks he made earlier in the week which were criticised as racist.

The press conference capped a controversial 72 hours for the Republican governor.
.....
Mr LePage was asked about a statement he made in January, in which he blamed the state's heroin problem on "guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty" who "come from Connecticut and New York".

"They come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home. Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave," he said.

Speaking on Wednesday, he denied it was racist, but said that since January he had been putting together a binder cataloguing drug arrests in the state, and that "90-plus per cent of those pictures in my book, and it's a three-ringed binder, are black and Hispanic people".

Asked by reporters to provide the binder, Mr LePage replied: "Let me tell you something: Black people come up the highway and they kill Mainers. You ought to look into that."

He then stormed off, telling the reporters: "You make me so sick."

Republicans don't believe people are guilty of accusations because of their politics. There is little sense in even talking to Democrat A anymore. You are proud of being disgusting.

Lol. Are you ****ting me? Republicans do it all the time.

And you are proud of old sexual abusers.
