Looks like cannabis users have an alternative way to get their marijuana fix.

According to published reports, a new line of pot-infused beverages masquerading behind soda flavors are now available to patients with a prescription for medical marijuana.

The new sodas, made by Colorado-based Dixie Elixirs, are carbonated drinks marketed to medicinal-marijuana patients who wish to avoid “weed culture” stigmas.
