"I'm not an overly aesthetic person - but I really just like to indulge in cannabis when I feel like I have the time to myself - which is harder for me these days with a baby at home - that said, cannabis for me now happens typically when my husband and I are both home and more able to share the parenting load."
"I am an all-mood, throughout the day consumer. If I am cleaning or working at home, I might smoke in a few puffs throughout the day, here and there. I typically smoke a little bit with coffee in the morning, and then again in the evening a couple of times before I go to bed."
"I have ADHD and long before I understood the medical relationship between cannabinoids and neurodivergence (same with stimulants like caffeine and nicotine), it was clear to me that my habitual but metered use throughout the days was my way of managing my racing brain and my symptoms."
"The plant absolutely enhances my creative and dream state. I also reach for it to help my pain living with an autoimmune disease, the days I have endo flares are my hardest parenting days I can become a bed bug but with the plant I am able to subside my pain and take my daughter to the playground or on a nice walk in our neighborhood and for a sweet treat."
"Cannabis just goes hand in hand in my life with all the parts of me, not just being a mom. It’s a part of the puzzle and some days I have to make the decision to not consume because I need to be more attentive as a mom, but other times it allows me to open up my mind during playtime with my toddler."
"If I am having a low mental health day, the right strain will really turn my mood around. Whereas fast-acting anxiety medication will turn completely turn off my brain/energy/focus."
"I am the MOST productive when high + no nagging about it because I am having fun. (Which life is ALL ABOUT)."
"Cannabis helped me make sense of the profound metamorphosis of matrescence. It enabled me to greet the new parts of myself with gentle care and curiosity. Just as cannabis is historically counterculture, so too is honoring the mother and allowing her to take up space rather than fit back into a box that no longer serves her."
"I had a pregnancy that almost killed me due to extreme hyperemisis. I was throwing up blood and in the hospital constantly and cannabis saved my life. It made it so I could keep down some food and liquid when I was suffering greatly. It also helped me survive PPD and helps me deal with my depression and anxiety as a mom now."
"I am a weed mom of 3 boys with a chronic illness and no I’m not sorry about it."
"I’m on a mission to be as loud as possible about what hurts women and what helps women. Destigmatizing sometimes lifesaving cannabis use during pregnancy and motherhood. Always digging deeper into women’s chronic pain/illnesses, the spectrum and ADHD, reproductive health, hormonal health and allergic reactions to histamines produced by fluctuating hormone levels, women’s neuroscience, the shocking lack of postnatal thorough screening and care, and everywhere else we’ve always disappeared. Sometimes when there is no help, there is still flower. She just helps a little all over, always has, always will. She’s a girl’s girl."
"Educate. Educate. Educate. Keep your kids in the loop when they seem aware enough. Let them know you use it, and why. Don't let anyone else demonize it with crazy 'reefer madness' propoganda. Let them know it's something that is to be respected."
"Cannabis stops me and helps me breathe. Helps me pause reality for a little while. Sometimes mothers don’t know when to ask for help or feel too embarrassed to ask for help. Only time I never hesitate to ask for help is when it comes to miss grass. She always got me, no judgment, calm, free zone."
