Coca-Cola says it's monitoring the nascent industry and is interested in drinks infused with CBD -- the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get you high. The Atlanta-based soft drinks maker is in talks with Canadian marijuana producer Aurora Cannabis to develop the beverages, according to a report from BNN Bloomberg Television.
"We are closely watching the growth of non-psychoactive CBD as an ingredient in functional wellness beverages around the world," Coca-Cola spokesman Kent Landers said in an emailed statement to Bloomberg News.

Cocaine? Do you have any idea what effects it has on your mental health?
There are no legitimate uses for cocaine, it's a terrible poison. So please, do go on and take some.

And yet the U.S. drug warriors have it on Schedule II rather than Schedule I. Guess it has some legitimate uses after all.
