Oregon Winemakers Crossover Into Cannabis Industry
Wine-weed parties are now a thing in Oregon, with some winemakers considering how to expand their business and appeal to a younger crowd.

Associated Press reporter Gillian Flaccus on Thursday shared a story about the cannabis crop crossover, and how winemakers along the Oregon-California border are capitalizing on the growing cannabis industry.
