With the legalization of cannabis throughout the states and on an international scale, it is finally starting to shake off its long-standing, unjustified stigma. There is no denying the difference it is making to millions of people who have long-suffered through health issues both physically and mentally thanks to current laws allowing its usage.

Wine’s health benefits have been researched, proven and published for many years, aiding heart disease, cholesterol, diabetes, mental health and even boasts in keeping us looking younger… that is within moderate amounts.

• With such natural benefits from each, it was only a matter of time before they would come together, and they have!  Here’s a short and sweet list of some Cannabis and CBD oil-infused wine you should try this summer. Afterall, the season calls for recreation (wink, wink).Got vacations plans yet?  Check out California USA’s Cannabis tours where you can tour the winery CannaVines.  The tours include a wine and weed pairing tasting with wines featuring various strains of Mary Jane.  Suffering from stress? Really, who isn’t? Request a red blend infused with the strain Headband, or a Chardonnay or Rosé blended with CBD oil.  For now, the wines are not available in the market.  Once they are, you will be able to request a blend depending on your mood or what ails you.

• Since Canada recently got on the Cannabis train, Mary Jane’s out of Ontario has created numerous hemp-infused wines;  whites, reds and even Icewine. Hemp-infused gin is also available.  Purchase online from Black Prince Winery.

• Out of the big heart of Texas (Yes, TEXAS!), the winery CBD Vines brings you the benefits of wine and CBD oil minus the THC high.  They make a Chard, Cab, red blends, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio. Try their flagship wine CaBD Sauv and the CBDonay.  

• From California once again Greenway “Know Label” Wine Tinctures found in bottles that look like wine made at home, each with their own individual and unique label with the information of the strain used, the varietal and vintage.  

Enjoy responsibly and recreationally!
