Aurora Cannabis Inc. led pot stocks higher after Coca-Cola Co. said it\u2019s eyeing the cannabis drinks market, becoming the latest beverage company to tap into surging demand for marijuana products as traditional sales slow.<\/em><\/p>\n

Coca-Cola<\/a>\u00a0says it\u2019s monitoring the nascent industry and is interested in drinks infused with CBD — the non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that treats pain but doesn\u2019t get you high. The Atlanta-based soft drinks maker is in talks with Canadian marijuana producer\u00a0Aurora Cannabis\u00a0<\/a>to develop the beverages, according to a\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0from BNN Bloomberg Television.<\/em><\/p>\n
