At a glance
Mary Jones is the cannabis extension of Jones Soda's craft-soda identity, launched in 2022 with regulated THC versions of familiar flavors. The name now covers two legally distinct businesses: MJ Reg Disrupters operates the marijuana-derived dispensary line under license, while Jones Soda retained its hemp-derived delta-9 products.
How Jones Soda entered cannabis
Jones Soda developed and began licensing THC-infused products under the Mary Jones name in 2022. The launch carried over the parent company's bright flavors, irreverent naming and user-submitted label-photo tradition. It was a corporate brand extension rather than an independent startup, so the relevant founders are the Jones Soda organization and its management team, not a separately documented Mary Jones founder.
The 2025 ownership split
On June 19, 2025, Jones Soda sold the subsidiaries and cannabis-specific assets behind its marijuana-derived THC business to privately held MJ Reg Disrupters LLC for $3 million in cash and notes. A multi-year trademark agreement gave MJ Reg exclusive, non-transferable rights to use Mary Jones on marijuana-derived consumables. Jones Soda retained the hemp-derived Mary Jones line, creating two parallel channels under one consumer-facing name.
Regulated sodas and classic flavors
The dispensary site currently presents Root Beer, Berry, Green Apple, Orange & Cream, Cola and MF Grape as its six core flavors. Its main format explanation identifies a 10mg bottle for a single serving, a resealable 100mg can intended for multiple servings and concentrated syrup. State catalogs show that sizes and labeled potency are not uniform everywhere, so the package in hand controls.
Syrups, gummies, vapes and market variants
Mary Jones is no longer only soda. The site contains state-specific listings for syrups, gummies, cartridges, zero-sugar sodas and Hightail drinks. Michigan listings include 100mg sodas and 200mg syrups, while other markets show different caps and formats. These catalogs demonstrate a licensed-market model in which local manufacturing partners and regulations shape what carries the name.
Where the regulated line is available
The site contains market pages for California, Washington, Michigan, Missouri and Canadian provinces, but its store-locator copy still says the brand is available only in California and Washington. Because those pages conflict, this profile does not present a single nationwide footprint as settled fact. The live store locator and each jurisdiction's authorized retailer menus are the best current availability check.
The hemp-derived line is a separate channel
After the divestiture, Jones Soda publicly clarified that it kept the Mary Jones hemp-derived delta-9 line, including sodas, shooters and gummies. Those products can use different distribution routes and rules from marijuana-derived products sold in licensed dispensaries. Similar packaging makes the distinction easy to miss; consumers should check whether the label identifies hemp-derived or marijuana-derived THC.
Documented beverage awards
Mary Jones' 10mg Berry Lemonade was named Best Cannabis Soda and received a Platinum Medal at the 2024 High Spirits Awards. The same product earned a 2023 Gold Medal, and the 100mg Root Beer also received a 2023 Gold Medal. These are product-specific competition results from the Jones Soda ownership period, not blanket certification of every current SKU or licensee.
Compliance history and unresolved copy
Jones Soda filings describe a California Department of Public Health dispute concerning hemp-infused sodas distributed in 2024 and later litigation the company said it would contest. That matter concerns the retained hemp channel, not proof of a defect in today's dispensary products. The larger editorial issue is simpler: brand pages written before June 2025 that still call Mary Jones wholly operated by Jones Soda are outdated.
Why the brand matters. Mary Jones brought a recognizable mainstream soda formula into regulated cannabis, then became a case study in how one trademark can split between marijuana and hemp businesses. Its profile is strongest when those ownership and channel distinctions are explicit. Explore more infused-drink makers in the High Rise brand directory.
