High Hopes for Jones Soda’s Cannabis Drink Fade
Seattle beverage maker sells cannabis business three years after its launch
By Seattle Mag June 25, 2025
Similar to several other beverage makers, Seattle’s Jones Soda is getting out of the marijuana business.
The craft beverage company known for its playful marketing and premium sodas has sold its marijuana-derived THC business for $3 million to privately held cannabis company MJ Reg Disrupters just three years after creating its cannabis-infused Mary Jones brand. The company will continue to focus on its hemp-derived THC product line, which includes Mary Jones sodas, shooters and gummies.
The transaction is part of Jones’ previously announced strategy to focus on its core soda offerings and emerging adult beverage categories. Jones generated $400,000 in revenue from its cannabis business in its fiscal first quarter, down more than 8% from the same period last year. Mary Jones offers five different flavors.
Industry website Food Dive reports that several beverage makers have shifted their focus away from cannabis because of conflicting state laws and a lack of national regulation. Canada’s largest cannabis producer, Tilray Brands, is focusing more on beer, while Molson Coors ended its CBD beverage business in the United States almost three years ago.
