CBD-Infused Drinks Are the Wave of the Future
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound found in the cannabis plant. It's believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and can help relieve stiffness and chronic pain.
And it's becoming popular in the health-conscious community, as athletes like UFC fighter Nate Diaz and NFL linebacker Derrick Morgan use CBD hemp oil to improve their athletic performance and overall health.
Unlike THC found in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive, and it does not change a person's state of mind.
And Pepsi and Coke already have products that they could infuse with CBD…
Coke sells Gold Peak Tea, Honest Tea, Vitamin Water, and Zico coconut water.

But I believe Pepsi would be the first with a cannabis product because of its aggressive push into the health and wellness sector…
Pepsi sells "fun for you" products, which include Mountain Dew and Fritos. It has a line of "better for you" products, which include Pepsi Zero Sugar and Propel water.
But its "good for you" line shows how progressive Pepsi has become. This line features Kevita kombucha, Sabra hummus, and Naked Juice.
With the health benefits of CBD and with U.S. CBD consumer sales reaching $1.15 billion by 2022, it only makes sense for Pepsi to create a CBD-infused beverage line.
Now, I don't expect Pepsi or Coke to jump into the marijuana market until all cannabis use is legal under federal law.
But it's spotting trends like this now that will lead investors to the largest long-term gains.
And when I spoke with cannabis expert Danny Brody, the VP of Investor Relations of The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (OTCMKTS: TGODF), he was also bullish on the cannabis-infused beverage market.
