Mary Jones is the cannabis arm of Jones Soda, applying the same nostalgic craft-soda energy to licensed THC beverages. It is one of the few times a mainstream beverage brand with real heritage walked into the regulated market itself instead of licensing its name away.
The Soda Came First
Jones Soda spent decades as the counterculture soda of skate shops and checkout coolers, famous for fan-submitted label photos and a flavor range that never behaved like the majors. That is thirty-odd years of flavor credibility built before a single milligram of THC entered the picture.
In 2022 the company launched Mary Jones, a cannabis-infused line built on those same recipes. The distinction matters: this is the actual soda company making the actual soda, not a licensing deal with a logo bolted onto someone else's formula. The brand's own line on it is blunt — same Jones, more Mary.
The fan-photo tradition came along intact. The dispensary site still runs the same Submit Your Pics call that made the original labels, which is a small detail that tells you the brand did not sand its personality off on the way into licensed retail.
Six Flavors, Three Ways To Drink Them
The dispensary line runs six classic Jones flavors: Root Beer, Berry, Green Apple, Orange & Cream, Cola, and MF Grape. They sell as single-flavor packs or as a variety pack, which is the honest way to find out which one you actually reach for twice.
Format is where it gets useful. A 10mg bottle is the solo pour. A 100mg can is built to share across a table. And a 100mg syrup lets you infuse whatever you are already drinking, which is the format most people land on once the novelty of a pre-made THC soda wears off.
Why It Lands
Most of this category tastes like a seltzer that is apologizing. Mary Jones went the other way and committed to soda-fountain flavor — actual root beer, actual cream soda, actual grape — in a shelf full of botanical fizz. Built-in recognition does the rest, because you already know what a Jones tastes like before you open it.
Know Which Mary Jones You Are Buying
There are two parallel lines and they are easy to confuse. The dispensary products are cannabis-infused. The brand also sells a hemp-derived delta-9 version outside the licensed system, in the same flavors and the same packaging. Same sodas, different supply chains, different places to buy them — this profile covers the licensed cannabis products only.
The High Rise Take
Beverages live or die on whether you would drink a second one, and this line clears that bar because it started as a soda company solving a soda problem rather than a cannabis company guessing at flavor. The 100mg syrup is the one worth your money — it turns the whole category into a mixer question instead of a can you have to finish.
Where To Find It
Mary Jones is stocked in licensed dispensaries across California and Washington, with the brand widening its footprint as state beverage rules evolve. The site runs a store locator that maps the nearest carrying dispensary.
