Marijuana wine has been around since people decided that they wanted to be tipsy and high at the same time, but it’s lately gotten more official by entering the marketplace. The latest is a product called Canna Vine, a commercial marijuana-laced wine from winemakers in California. So Yes, weed wine is a thing now, and it’s exactly what it sounds like – a great way of killing two birds with one stone(r). Sorry about that one.
We are often asked if weed wine was just created. Is this is a new invention that rides the wave of the recent legalization of Lady Jane in California? The answer is, the popularity and attention to weed wine are new, but the practice of making it isn’t. The thing is, infused or aromatized wines, in general, have been a thing for almost as long as mankind understood that fermented grapes have a lot to offer. Honey and mint infused wines come to mind, or the more exotic snake wine from Vietnam (yup, that’s a thing, as well).
For those of you not in the know, infused wines are not the same as fortified, though there’s some overlap. They can be used interchangeably to some extent. Fortified wines are just normal wines that have distilled spirits added to 
them. The spirit usually being brandy. They are not infused or flavored wines.Aromatized wines, on the other hand, are indeed X-flavored, usually by adding herbs. On that note, infusing or fortifying wine is different from actually making it from whatever fruit you prefer (watermelon and blueberry are two of the most popular choices besides grape), and you can indeed brew your wine entirely from weed.

So Is It Legal?
Yes and no.
As of November 2016, recreational marijuana is legal in California. A slight majority voted in favor of the Prop 64. This makes The Golden State the fifth and latest US state to legalize recreational ganja. They followed after Colorado (2012), Washington (ditto), Alaska (2014) and Oregon (2014).
Now, this new law applies to the regulation of marijuana specifically. The deal legalities of weed-infused wines are a bit hazy. The prop didn’t address the issue at all. Still, seeing as the rest of the pot-friendly states explicitly disallow making weed wine, California is the only place you can get this weed infused wine elixir.
