'Cannamom' is a social media hashtag given to mothers who enjoy pot while parenting. One woman says it 'absolutely' made her better at being a mom.
LOS ANGELES — From the outside, the moms gathered in a Santa Monica, Calif., living room could have been conferring about carpools, school boards or fundraisers, any of the myriad mundane meet-ups that come with parenting.
For those whose notions of what a mom should be skew more June Cleaver or Clair Huxtable than Lucille Bluth, it might be hard to imagine how puffing pot could be beneficial to the parenting process.
Brazill emphasized that "Why Mommy Gets High," self-published late last year, is an honest-to-goodness kids' book aimed at kids and not a cheeky children's-book parody for adults . And she thinks"Why Mommy Gets High" could be an appropriate part of the pot-and-parenting discussion starting with preschool-age children.
"They know that it's only for grown-ups, that it's medicine," Stocker said."I think that just being open about it really, really, really helps from a young age so that there's nothing to hide. I'm not doing anything wrong." "I'm not going to sit there and try to tell my 7-year-old about the war on drugs. … But … saying, 'This is a plant, not everyone can use this plant. It has healing properties. Mama likes to use this as medicine. It makes me feel better,' and they understand that."
"To me what is more bothersome is that they use [cannabis] when they're raising kids," she said."That's the big judgment. I do think you should be honest with your kids." The cannamoms conferring on Brazill's couch say they're well aware of the challenges and dangers of parenting under the influence of anything and say they make it a point to have what Wraylie calls"seat belts" on hand. In other words, they have safety precautions that include planning ahead, the presence of other caregivers and having CBD products on hand.
