This article originally appeared on The Green Fund — Australia’s leading source of cannabis information.

Coca Cola is the most recognizable brand in the world. Children see Coke as the elixir of life. Parents, on the other hand, see Coke as the drink that turns their little angels into monsters.

Though Coke’s effect on children is no mystery. The hyperactivity caused by Coke consumption is the well-known effect of the high amounts of sugar in each can. Though in some ways, sugar is a step up from Coke’s previous drug of choice. As many will know, the primary ingredient of Coca Cola was once cocaine.

Many will think that having cocaine in a soft drink is absurd, while others will wish it was still the case.

Now, a new substance is in the running to be a central ingredient within Coca Cola: CBD.

Unlike cocaine or sugar however, many believe CBD is the next big super-food. If you don’t know what CBD is check out our posts on the compound, the industry and areas where the compound is popping up such as for pets, for athletes and within the Wellness community.
