Fairhope Hemp is partnering with Pensacola-based Big Jerk Soda Co. to offer hemp infused sodas. The all-natural beverage brand makes sodas and cocktail mixes using only real fruit juice ingredients and zero artificial colors, dyes or preservatives. The collaboration will feature a full-spectrum CBD option and a hemp-derived Delta-8 option in Cherry Limeade and Blood Orange Pomegranate flavors. Limited quantities are now on tap at Fairhope Hemp and small batch bottling for wider distribution will begin soon.

While most consumers have heard about the benefits of CBD, Delta-8 is not as well known yet. Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is an analog of the better-known delta-9-THC—the only chemical in cannabis that is listed as a federally controlled substance. Delta-9 is the plant’s primary psychoactive component, but delta-8 differs molecularly, making it significantly less potent.

As a vertically integrated business, Fairhope Hemp is a grower, producer and retailer of their products. “We want to know exactly what we are giving our customers,” says owner John MacArthur, who relies on third party testing by a DEA-certified lab in Florida, where quality control is stricter than Alabama.
