Stoned fruits drinks - A popular Californian summer trend
Though most people might assume that stoned fruits are actually infused pieces, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The restaurant has served popular treats and beverages for several decades but began experimenting with CBD oil several years ago. It turns out that CBD pairs quite nicely with the juices of a particular kind of fruit, and so the drink Stoned Fruits was born, and the trend has spread like wildfire ever since.
