Now you'll be able to rise, shine and "get high" in the mornings with cannabis in your cup.

Coffee businesses are now infusing cannabis in their brews, ready to be bought in K-cups and coffee pods as more and more states legalize marijuana for recreational use, the Verge reported.

Jennifer Lanzador, sales manager of Uncle Ike's Pot Shop of Seattle, which sells "premium infused" coffee pods for 10 dollars each, said that she likens it to a Red Bull and vodka as she had more energy, but still had the relaxation one gets from cannabis.

The pods, which reportedly account for 60 percent of Uncle Ike's coffee sales, are becoming big sellers may be because of their undeniable convenience.
