TOR2003060903-TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, June 9 (UPI) -- Legislation was recently introduced in Canada proposing to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana possession. A man's hand can hold about 10 grams of marijuana. The newly introduced bill would remove criminal liability from anyone in possession of up to 15 grams but the offense would still be punishable by fines. rlw/cc/Christine Chew UPI | License Photo

SOQUEL, Calif., Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A California man said he is designing medical marijuana-infused soda pop, a product he has no intention of trying.

Clay Butler of Soquel said the line of sodas containing THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, includes Canna Cola, Dr. Pepper-like Doc Weed, lemon-lime Sour Diesel, grape-flavored Grape Ape and orange-flavored Orange Kush, the Santa Cruz (Calif.) Sentinel reported Monday.


However, Butler said he will not be trying the products he's designing.

"I don't do drugs," he said. "Never have. I never drank, never smoked. I'm a clean-living guy. I've had two beers in my whole life, and I remember them both too. No marijuana, I've never smoked a cigarette. I take an aspirin when I get a headache. That's it."

He added:"Even though, personally, I'm not interested and I don't think it's right for me. I'm a firm believer that adults have an inalienable right to think, eat, smoke, drink, ingest, decorate, dress any way they choose to do so. It's your life; it's your body."

He said the sodas will sell for $10 to $15 per 12-ounce bottle when they go on sale in Colorado in February. He said the products will later be introduced in California.
