Did you know that infusing cannabis into wine has been practiced for thousands of years? Early records from the Han Dynasty in China point to the ganja and grape combo being used to knock out patients before surgery.

In the United States, cannabis-infused wine was quietly developed in the 80s, in California, where “pot wine” was something wine makers would ferment and share with friends or at private gatherings. It was generally made with rosé wines, in unlabeled bottles, and quite expensive and the war on drugs made it a risky business.

As marijuana laws are changing and make it more accessible, wine drinkers in states like California are increasingly able to enjoy both cannabis-infused wine and all manner of cannabis edibles and medical marijuana.
