Blending the classic and comforting flavor of lemonade with the benefits of marijuana is like mixing oil and water, said Michael Wilson. But Franklin’s Stash House persisted, spending the time and money to perfect the process behind its THC-infused lemonade, he said.
“Our water soluble formula has been our biggest investment — and really the technology behind it goes so deep down the rabbit hole that it seems to blow a lot of people’s minds,” said Wilson, co-founder of Franklin’s and the serial entrepreneur.
“There’s science, formulation and ultrasonic agitation that goes into this technology,” he continued, displaying the equipment used to make the cannabis-blended James Lemonade in Franklin’s 3,000-square-foot production facility in Kansas City. “We like to call it the Tesla coil because when you turn it on, it’s got such a sound that you feel like it’s tapping into the universe for its energy.”
That energy — and proprietary process — breaks down the beverage at the particle level, Wilson said, with the Franklin’s team manipulating the mix for freshness, not long shelf life.
“That’s a big part of what makes our formula our formula,” he said. “Plus, with James Lemonade, there’s no taste, no smell when it comes to the marijuana.”
