First of all, Coke acquired Honest Organics in 2011, and to make things clear for everyone - Honest Organics produces and sells "Organic" only Products.
"Since Coca-Cola first added Honest to its portfolio, the number of stores selling its products has soared from 15,000 locations in 2008 — a manageable level that allowed employees to personally visit many outlets to hand out samples— to an estimated 140,000 today. Honest products are now found in stores like Walmart, Kroger, Wegmans and Target; online retailers such as Jet.com, Amazon and Instacart; and scores of restaurants including Wendy's, McDonald's and Subway."

And from that same article we find this...
"Koller said Coca-Cola has devoted additional resources, including staff and funding, to assist Honest in identifying future market opportunities and developing new products. An Honest coffee drink, which could hit the market as soon as the first quarter of 2019, is one example where Coca-Cola is lining up production capacity to quickly make the drink, while its sales team is talking with retailers ahead of the product's potential launch."
And then October 23rd this separate article seems to put things into perspective...

"Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) has been the latest talk for the emerging marijuana sector, yet many have been getting it wrong. The activity clearly shows a focus upon CBD infused coffee not other soft drinks or alcohol alternatives. Marijuana coffee, or its derivative CBD would likely cause a relaxing drink rather than become psychoactive. This CBD-coffee causation fits Coca-Cola's ethos as it has already publicly stated to have no interest in the psychedelic effects of marijuana. The preparation for this transition has already started with a key, but lesser known acquisition of Costa Coffee."
So we can clearly see, Coke is or is also interested in the Organics version of Marijuana.
And guess Who will be producing Organic Weed and has a Beverage friendly Facility in Valleyfield Quebec...
