Dixie Elixers offers sodas with marijuana

Dixie Elixers said their sodas are meant to offer an alternative for users of medical marijuana. The carbonated beverage is advertised as being "convenient, discreet and potent."

The sodas come in 12-ounce bottles and are available in seven flavors: lemonade, sweet tea, pink lemonade, strawberry, orange, grape and root beer. Dixie stated that the marijuana-laced soda can be drunk alone or to enhance other medicinal marijuana.

It is not available on the open market. Discovery News reported it is only available to those with a medical prescription for marijuana, which is legal for medical purposes in 14 of the country's 50 states.

For those who can consume it, Dixie states it relieves a variety of symptoms. The Village Voice said Dixie also claimed that the carbonation quickens how fast the body absorbs the THC, which in turn quickens how fast the patient feels relief.

In addition to the soda other alternatives for consuming marijuana have surfaced, including cannabis lollipops, raspberry crumble, as well as the traditional brownies, the Voice reported.

And the blog The Stir offered recipes for marijuana butter, pot pasta and pot tacos as well as brownies.
