Mary Jane’s Relaxing Soda

An advertised “all-natural” soft drink that delivers “euphoric relaxation and focus to a stress-filled life“. Not to be mistaken with actua Marijuana-infused soda, Mary Jane’s Relaxing Soda contains no marijuana. It’s name is a result of the supposed feeling you get by consuming its blend of herbal extracts. Specifically, the product is made from lightly carbonated water, all-natural cane sugar, passion flower extract and kava extract.

Here’s a bit more on the effect of each individual ingredient:

LIGHTLY CARBONATED WATER

We don’t do heavy “masking” carbonation. Just enough for a light, natural fizz to open the taste buds.  The carbonation is added to natural spring water, which is a ubiquitous chemical substance essential for human survival. It can be found as a liquid, solid, or gas. We chose the liquid form since it’s a little easier to consume.

ALL-NATURAL CANE SUGAR

Cane sugar is sucrose which has been extracted from sugarcane, a tropical plant which produces naturally high concentrations of this sweet substance. Cane sugar tends to be a more expensive form of sucrose but it delivers a preferred flavor and is all-natural compared to its artificial rival – high fructose corn syrup.

PASSION FLOWER EXTRACT

Passionflower was used historically in South America and later in Europe as a “calming” herb for anxiety, insomnia, seizures, and hysteria. It is still used today to treat anxiety and insomnia.* Although unproven, it is believed that passionflower works by increasing levels of a chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. *

KAVA EXTRACT (AWA ROOT)

Kava extract is a powerful herb primarily consumed to relax without disrupting mental clarity.* The active ingredients are called kavalactones. Consumers can experience noticeable effects within 10–30 minutes.* These effects usually last for one to two hours.* Along with relaxation, some users report pronounced mental clarity, patience, and an ease of acceptance. *The positive effects of kava are said to mirror those of alcohol without the negative effects. *

Further advertised to be perfect for stressful situations where relaxation is needed, but full body function is necessary. Definitely an interesting product, looking forward to see it’s true ability in the field. If any of you have tried this, let us know how it is!
