Coca-Cola, noted maker of carbonated sugar water that used to contain cocaine, is reportedly in “serious talks” to create a line of cannabis-infused drinks. The drinks would contain cannabidiol, or CBD, the non-psychoactive chemical in marijuana.

The drinks would likely be meant to “ease inflammation, pain and cramping.” The consumer CBD market is expected to be worth $2.1 billion by 2020. [BNN Bloomberg]
