A CANABIS-BASED ENERGY DRINK
WON'T GIVE YOU THE BUZZ YOU
MIGHT IMAGINE.
22NEWS REPORTER ALESSANDRA
MARTINEZ FOUND OUT IF
MASSACHSUETTS
RESIDENTS CAN CONSUMER THIS
DRINK THIS THAT MARIJUANA IS
LEGAL.
ALESSANDRA LIVE:
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS DRINK IS
LEGAL IN EVERY STATE, AND IT
DOESN'T GET YOU HIGH
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE T-H-C.
THE ONLY WAY MARIJUANA IS USED
FOR THIS DRINK IS TO GIVE IT
HEMP SEED OIL.
HEMP SEED OIL HAS LINOLEIC ACID,
WHICH CONTAINS VITAMINS AND
MINERALS THAT
HELP FIGHT OBESITY, DIABETES,
AND HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
YOU CAN GET THESE SAME VITAMINS
AND MINERALS FROM SOYBEANS,
WALNUTS,
FLAXSEEDS, AND TOFU.
THE ADVERTISING ON THE BOTTLE
SOUNDS SEXIER THAN THE EFFECTS
IT GIVES,
WHICH CAN SOUND MISLEADING.
CHELSEA STAUB, NORTHAMPTON:
IT'S A BIT MISLEADING. I THINK
WHEN I READ
CANNABIS AS AN AN ENERGY DRINK,
I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO CALM
ME DOWN BUT GIVE ME A LOT OF
ENERGY. SO I GUESS IT IS A
LITTLE MISLEADING.
THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL IN THIS
DRINK.
THE COMPANY ADVERTISES ONE CAN
OF CANABIS ENERGY DRINK HAS
ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF CAFFINE
AS A CUP OF COFFEE.
ALESSANDRA LIVE:
IT'S CURRENTLY SOLD IN THE U-S
AND EUROPE.
LIVE FROM THE HC BUREAU IN NOHO,
