RIFF Blue Raspberry Ice is a refreshing take on the classic, electric blue, summertime favourite frozen treat, bringing subtle waves of nostalgia and refreshment with each sip, accompanied by a blast of bold berries and fruity goodness. Sold individually with 10mg of THC per 355mL can in Alberta and Ontario.
