Cassandra Daily:
When it comes to preferred methods of mellowing out, wine and weed aren’t mutually exclusive—which makes sense given their shared California provenance. Marijuana-infused wine dates back to the hedonistic ’80s, when it was more a novel jab at The War on Drugs, but it’s been making a comeback lately as a more highbrow elixir. Today, Napa Valley vintners are blending their Humboldt County pals’ crops with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah for a heady vintage which, while it can’t be sold to winery tourists, is proving to be popular on the local party scene. Fermented in small batches, the wine reportedly delivers a quicker buzz than baked goods.
