Jones Soda today announced two key expansions of its Mary Jones cannabis brand with the launch of its first products in Michigan – the largest U.S. legal cannabis market by sales volume – and the introduction of a new line of cannabis-infused shooters in California.
In Michigan, where legal cannabis sales hit nearly $3 billion in 2023, Mary Jones is entering the market through a manufacturing and distribution partnership with Emerald Canning Partners (ECP), a driving force in state's legal recreational cannabis industry. Mary Jones THC-infused mixing syrups will be available in Michigan dispensaries in September, with the full product portfolio to follow.
In California, dispensaries are now adding new portable, shareable Mary Jones 100mg cannabis-Infused shooters to the brand's existing lineup of beverages, syrups and tablets. Other cannabis-legal states will carry the line in the future.
"Mary Jones ranks as one of our top growth drivers, so continuing to increase our footprint and penetration in the cannabis space is as important to maintaining and accelerating our current strong growth rate as the new products, channels and partnerships we're implementing in our mainline soda business," said David Knight, CEO of Jones Soda. "In a category where most brands are startups without our nearly three decades of flavor science expertise, we are setting the standard in cannabis beverage taste, and that's combining with rising consumer interest in alcohol alternatives and new cannabis consumption formats to invigorate and grow the business."
