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.

If it made sense or sticking to history - yes (hency why I started with two -cola)
However "cola" today also refers to caramelized sugar in terms of taste, and "coca-" is the part that coca-cola sticks with (probably to avoid confusion with pepsi cola and "colas" in general).
Personally I'd really want a coca-cocoa (now _that_ would be a drink to get you started in the morning), but I hate travel and will not visit south america just for a good drink :)
