USA Today reports that hamburger chain Carl’s Jr. plans to celebrate National Weed Day, on Saturday, April 20, by offering a special burger served with a sauce infused with CBD, the non-psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
The burger will be comprised of “two beef patties paired with Carl’s Jr. signature Santa Fe Sauce infused with hemp-based CBD oil, pickled jalapeños, pepper jack cheese and Crisscut fries.”
However, the CBD burger only will be available for that one day, and only in one Denver, Colorado, Carl’s Jr. location. It will cost $4.20, and will be sold as long as supplies last.
“The new Rocky Mountain High: CheeseBurger Delight ties back to our core strategy of being the first to bring bold and unexpected flavors that are at the forefront of hot restaurant trends to a quick service menu,” says Patty Trevino, Carl's Jr. senior vice president of brand marketing.

Yet more evidence, I think, of the broad mainstreaming of CBD.
The question is, which food company will be next. Starbucks? McDonald’s? (I’d bet on Starbucks, but you never know.)
