Like a lot of cannabis-related news, this comes with a caveat: It’s only legal in California for residents with medical marijuana license. It’s illegal to infuse alcoholic beverages with marijuana almost everywhere in the U.S.—even in states like Colorado and Washington, where recreational use of marijuana is otherwise allowed.
Rock singer and cancer survivor Melissa Etheridge—who has her own line of Molyneux’s cannabis wine called “Know Label”— spoke with the LA Times about the benefits of this sweet green vino:
