Marijuana is poised to grow larger than soda in the coming years. Cannabis is a rapidly growing market.  Thirty states and Washington D.C. have legalized Medical marijuana, and another Nine states and Washington D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana, and that number is expected to keep growing.

Interesting that they're focusing on CBD rather than THC right now.

Meanwhile, soda sales are trending down, as health consciousness grows. Consumers aren’t buying the sugary drinks as they realize the effects such drinks have on their health. In fact, per capita, carbonated soft drink consumption has declined to a 31-year low in the United States in 2016. The market in North America fell from $78.3 billion in 2016 to $76.4 billion last year
