The launch of Mirth Provisions line of Legal beverages was supposed to happen a week ago, with three marijuana infused sodas.

That didn’t happen. There was a problem and a delay, said Adam Stites, owner of the company.

After everything passed testing and inspection, the company discovered some bottle caps were popping off because of the carbonation.

Turns out, the company was given the wrong bottle types for carbonated beverages from its supplier.

“After a variety of tests, research and emails back and forth with the glass factory, we determined that the bottle distributor accidentally sent us a style of bottle which is not rated for fully carbonated beverages,” Stites said in an email to The Columbian.

The coffee line of products is on hold because of state restrictions on certain types of edibles, including those that require refrigeration. But the sodas are clear for takeoff once the bottle issue is fixed.

Now that Stites knows what the problem is, he hopes to get new bottles and get his product out the door hopefully in a week or two.

“We are currently in discussions with two other distributors of bottles and we expect to have a solid ETA on when replacement bottles will arrive by the end of the week,” Stites said.

When they arrive, here’s what the first release will be:

(From Mirth's Site: Behold, the gods of chilling have smiled upon you! Kick off your shoes, maybe even your pants, and float toward the heavens with this elixir of fresh cherry juice and pure cannabis extract. Pairs well with music festivals, house parties, and riding through the clouds on the back of a mythological beast.)

(From Mirth's Site: Word to your mother! Mother Nature, that is. This infusion of fresh juices and cannabis extract is an awesome companion for soaking in natural beauty, whether you hike Mt. Rainier or hang out in your own backyard. Toss it in a backpack, grab a map and a friend, and spend some time with Mama.)

(From Mirth's Site: Couch, meet butt. This delicious fusion of tangy lemon and spicy ginger is so ridiculously relaxing that you may find yourself becoming one with your furniture. Whether you’re melting into a beach blanket or parked on the sofa, prepare for many glorious hours of doing absolutely nothing.)

I’ll let you know more when I hear back from Adam after he gets the problems fixed.
