When should I involve CPS during a divorce? There is a parenting plan in place with my wife, but I no longer feel confident with it.
The plan is only a few weeks old, she always has to change dates, times, etc… She has been drunk at the drop off for our daughter. She admitted it in writing too. I also have emails from her to friends stating she has to stay away from most hard liquor because it makes baby puke from the breast milk. I have text messages of her setting up deals buying marijuana. Getting minors drunk, etc…

I'm assuming the parenting plan was approved by the court. If so, go back into court and seek a modification of the plan based on the behavior of your wife. She appears to be violating the terms of the plan.
If you have an attorney, consult with him/her regarding the parenting plan. Also, seek his/her advice regarding CPS (procedures, consequences, etc.).
Ultimately, you need to decide what is in the best interest of your child and how to foster a safe environment for your child.
