The High-Functioning Mom - Cannabis and Conscious Parent

Motherhood is a journey filled with immense love, joy, and… well, let's be honest, a healthy dose of chaos. For me, and increasingly many other moms, cannabis plays a role in navigating this beautiful, messy adventure. It's about finding balance, challenging stigmas, and prioritizing responsible use. This isn't about advocating for something that isn't right for everyone, but rather sharing my personal experience and sparking an open conversation.

The Stigma: Let's Talk About It

The biggest hurdle is often the societal stigma surrounding cannabis use, especially for mothers. The image of the 'stoner mom' is often unfairly portrayed as neglectful or irresponsible. This couldn't be further from the truth for many of us. We're not talking about being perpetually high; we're talking about mindful consumption, often in the evenings after the kids are in bed, to unwind, manage stress, or simply enjoy a moment of peace.

---

Misconception: Cannabis makes you a bad parent.

• Reality: Responsible use allows many parents to be more present and patient.

• Misconception: All cannabis use is irresponsible.

• Reality: Like alcohol, cannabis can be used responsibly with moderation and awareness.

It's time to challenge these outdated stereotypes. Just as a glass of wine at the end of the day is acceptable for many parents, so too can responsible cannabis use be a part of a balanced lifestyle. The key is responsibility, moderation, and honesty with yourself and your family (as appropriate for your children's age).

Finding the Balance: My Personal Experience

For me, cannabis isn't about escaping motherhood; it's about enhancing my ability to be present and patient. After a long day of juggling work, school runs, and endless demands, a small dose helps me unwind and reconnect with myself. It allows me to approach bedtime stories with renewed energy and face the next day with a clearer mind.

It’s crucial to acknowledge that every individual's experience with cannabis will differ. Factors such as dosage, strain selection, and personal tolerance can significantly impact the effects. It's important to experiment responsibly and consult with healthcare professionals to determine what works best for you.

Responsible Use: Key Consideration

If you're considering incorporating cannabis into your parenting journey, here are some crucial factors to consider:

• Legality: Ensure cannabis use is legal in your jurisdiction.

• Safety: Store cannabis products securely, out of reach of children.

• Moderation: Consume responsibly and avoid overuse.

• Timing: Choose appropriate times for consumption, such as after children are asleep or when you have childcare.

• Education: Stay informed about different strains, dosages, and potential effects.

• Honesty: Be honest with your partner and, when appropriate, your children about your cannabis use.

• Driving: Never drive under the influence of cannabis.

• Consultation: Talk to your doctor about potential interactions with medications or health conditions.

It's also important to be mindful of your body's response to cannabis. Start with a low dose and gradually increase it as needed, paying close attention to how it affects your mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. Different strains can produce different effects, so experimenting with various options can help you find what works best for your needs.

Consider alternatives, too. Sometimes a relaxing bath, a good book, or a chat with a friend can provide similar stress relief without the need for cannabis.

Let's Continue the Conversation

This is just the beginning of a much-needed conversation. By sharing our experiences, challenging stereotypes, and promoting responsible use, we can create a more understanding and supportive community for parents who choose to incorporate cannabis into their lives. I encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below. Let's break down the stigma together.

The ABCs of Cannabis: A Beginner's Guide

125 Broadstreet Family whats up!!! It’s been such a long time but we’re back and boy do we have somethinf for you. Lets us give you a crash course in the magical world of cannabis! If you've ever been curious about this green goddess but didn't know where to start, you're in the right place. We're about to take you on a journey through the ABCs of cannabis, and no, we won't be singing the alphabet song (though that would be fun, too). So, fasten your seatbelts, or rather, your thinking caps, and let's dive into this leafy adventure.

A - Anatomy of the Cannabis Plant

Before you get too cozy with Mary Jane, you should know who she is. Cannabis is a plant with three primary species: Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Ruderalis. Think of them as the Kardashians of the plant world. They all look different, but they're all famous in their own right.

B - Bud Basics

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the buds. These are the flowers of the cannabis plant, the part that gets you high or provides medicinal relief. Buds come in a delightful array of colors, shapes, and sizes, kind of like a botanical beauty pageant.

C - Consumption Methods

Cannabis can be enjoyed in various ways, and it's not just about rolling joints like they do in the movies. You can smoke it, vape it, eat it, or even apply it topically. Edibles can be a bit tricky, though, so don't blame us if you accidentally eat a whole tray of brownies and end up in another dimension.

D - Dosage Matters

Remember, dear friends, cannabis is not a "one-size-fits-all" deal. Dosage is crucial. Start low and go slow. It's not a race; it's a leisurely stroll through the garden of greenery. Overindulging can lead to unexpected adventures, and we're not talking about the fun kind.

E - Effects Galore

Cannabis can bring a range of effects, depending on the strain and your individual chemistry. Some people feel giggly and euphoric, while others turn into zen masters contemplating the meaning of life. Be prepared for the munchies – that insatiable urge to devour an entire pizza at 2 AM.

F - Friendly Strains

Not all cannabis strains are created equal. Sativa strains tend to be more uplifting and energizing, while Indica strains are the cozy, Netflix-and-chill types. Hybrid strains offer a little something for everyone. Think of it like choosing a wine - there's a time and place for every variety.

G - Ganja Legalities

Before you embark on your cannabis journey, check the legal status in your area. We can't emphasize this enough. The last thing you want is a run-in with the law when you thought you were just having a peaceful evening with your buddy Mary Jane.

H - Health Benefits

Cannabis isn't just about getting high. It has a laundry list of potential health benefits. From pain relief to anxiety management, cannabis has been known to lend a helping leaf. But always consult with a medical professional before you replace your medicine cabinet with a stash.

I - Inhale Responsibly

If you choose to smoke or vape, do it responsibly. It's not a hot dog-eating contest; you don't need to prove anything. Inhale, exhale, and enjoy. And please, don't hotbox your grandma's living room – she might not appreciate the fragrance.

J - Journey of Discovery

Your cannabis journey is just that - a journey. It's okay to experiment, make mistakes, and find what works best for you. Take your time, learn, and enjoy the ride.

So, there you have it, the ABCs of cannabis for beginners. Remember, while cannabis can be a lot of fun, it's essential to approach it with respect and responsibility. Now, go forth and explore this leafy wonderland – just don't forget to pass the knowledge along with the joint!

K - Keeping it Fresh

Cannabis has an expiration date, just like that forgotten can of soup in the back of your pantry. To preserve the potency and flavor, store your stash in an airtight container away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. The goal is to keep it fresher than a farmer's market avocado.

L - Lingo Alert

Cannabis enthusiasts have their own language, and it can sound like gibberish to newcomers. Terms like "dabbing," "terpenes," and "trichomes" might leave you scratching your head. Don't worry; you'll learn the lingo as you go. It's like picking up a foreign language, but with fewer textbooks and more giggles.

M - Mind Your Environment

Your surroundings can significantly impact your cannabis experience. Whether you're chilling with friends or having a solo sesh, create a comfortable and safe environment. You don't want paranoia creeping in when you're in the middle of a Netflix binge.

N - Non-Smoking Options

If inhaling smoke isn't your jam, there are plenty of smoke-free options. Try cannabis-infused oils, capsules, or even beverages. These methods are discreet, and you won't end up smelling like Snoop Dogg's dressing room.

O - Overcoming Paranoia

Paranoia can be the unwelcome guest at your cannabis party. To combat it, stay hydrated, distract your mind with activities you enjoy, and remember that the effects are temporary. Plus, you're not the first person to giggle uncontrollably at the sound of a ticking clock.

P - Potency Matters

Different strains have different potencies, and that's something you should be aware of. Some strains are as gentle as a summer breeze, while others hit you like a freight train. Always read labels and ask your budtender for advice if you're not sure.

Q - Questions Welcome

Don't hesitate to ask questions. Whether you're at a dispensary or hanging with experienced friends, people in the cannabis community are usually more than happy to share their wisdom. No question is too "green" for the pros.

R - Responsible Sharing

Sharing is caring, but sharing cannabis comes with responsibility. Don't pass a joint if you're sick, and always respect someone's decision if they choose not to partake. And please, never share your edibles without clearly communicating the dosage.

S - Strain Savvy

As you delve deeper into the cannabis world, you'll realize there are more strains than there are stars in the sky. Each strain has its own unique flavor, aroma, and effects. Keep a strain journal to remember which ones you like best, so you can recreate those perfect moments of bliss.

T - Testing, Testing

Cannabis is like a box of chocolates; you never know exactly what you're going to get. That's why some places require rigorous testing for potency and contaminants. Trust those lab results like your life depends on it because, well, your experience might.

U - Under the Influence

Remember that cannabis can impair your coordination and judgment. So, it's best to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery while under the influence. Besides, your high playlist is way more entertaining when you're safely parked on the couch.

V - Variety is the Spice of Life

Don't stick to one strain forever. Part of the fun is exploring the vast world of cannabis. Try different strains, consumption methods, and even explore the art of cooking with cannabis. Who knows? You might discover a new favorite hobby.

W - Weed Wisdom

Cannabis has been around for centuries, and many cultures have used it for various purposes. Take some time to explore the history, traditions, and rituals associated with this remarkable plant. You might find that you're part of a long, illustrious tradition of cannabis connoisseurs.

X - eXpect Surprises

Cannabis can have unexpected effects on different people. Sometimes, what works for your friend may not work for you. Embrace the journey, and don't be afraid to switch things up if you're not getting the experience you want.

Y - Your Unique Experience

Remember that your cannabis journey is uniquely yours. Whether you use it for relaxation, creativity, or relief from a medical condition, your relationship with cannabis is personal. Embrace it, enjoy it, and share your stories with others.

Z - Zen Out

Ultimately, cannabis is about finding your own slice of peace and happiness. Whether you're seeking relaxation or enlightenment, use cannabis as a tool to enhance your life and bring a little extra joy to your world. Just don't forget to share the giggles along the way.

So there you have it, from A to Z, the hilarious and enlightening beginner's guide to cannabis. As you embark on this green adventure, remember to stay safe, have fun, and respect the plant. Cannabis has a lot to offer, but like any great adventure, it's best enjoyed with a sense of humor and a touch of curiosity. Happy toking, dear readers, and may your cannabis journey be filled with laughter and good vibes!

"Discover the Perfect High: The Best Ways to Enjoy Cannabis"

From the classic joint to the high-tech vaporizer, each method offers a unique experience that's sure to elevate your high. So let's take a journey through the wonderful world of cannabis consumption and discover the perfect way for you to enjoy your next smoke sesh.

Pre-rolls offer the same convenience without the hassle of rolling. Both options offer a balanced, mellow buzz that's perfect for relaxing after a long day. Plus, it's perfect for sharing with friends. Pro tip: add a crutch for a smoother smoke.

It's like a gentle hug, but for your soul. Pro tip: clean the vaporizer regularly for optimal performance.

Cannabis and Spirituality: A Match Made in the Heavens, or Just High Times?

View fullsize

Cannabis has been used for spiritual purposes for centuries, dating back to ancient Hindu texts and Native American rituals. But in recent years, the legalization of marijuana has brought the relationship between cannabis and spirituality into the spotlight. Some people believe that smoking weed can enhance their spiritual experiences, while others view it as a way to relax and unwind after a long day. So, is there really a connection between cannabis and spirituality, or is it all just a bunch of smoke and mirrors? Let's explore this topic with a touch of humor and wittiness.

First things first, let's talk about the science behind cannabis and spirituality. THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana, can cause changes in perception, mood, and consciousness. This can lead to feelings of euphoria, relaxation, and even spiritual transcendence. But just because cannabis can enhance spiritual experiences doesn't mean that it's the key to enlightenment. As the old saying goes, "Getting high doesn't make you holy."

That being said, there are many people who use cannabis as part of their spiritual practice. For example, some people use marijuana to help them meditate, connect with nature, or enhance their creativity. Others use it to explore their inner selves and gain a deeper understanding of their place in the universe. But just like any other tool or substance, it's important to use cannabis responsibly and with intention.

Of course, there are always those who take things too far. Some people believe that smoking weed is the only way to connect with a higher power, and that anyone who disagrees with them is simply "not woke enough." Others use spirituality as an excuse to get high all day, every day, without any regard for their health or wellbeing. To those people, I say, "Hey, maybe lay off the herb for a bit and try to connect with reality instead."

Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the munchies. Yes, we all know that smoking weed can give you a serious case of the munchies. But did you know that this can actually be a spiritual experience? Think about it: food is sustenance for the body, and when we enjoy it mindfully and with gratitude, it can be a form of spiritual nourishment as well. So, the next time you raid the fridge after smoking a joint, take a moment to savor the flavors and appreciate the nourishment that food provides.

Cannabis and spirituality can be a powerful combination, but only if used responsibly and with intention. Whether you use marijuana to enhance your meditation practice, connect with nature, or simply unwind after a long day, remember that it's just a tool, not a shortcut to enlightenment. And if you find yourself getting too caught up in the high, just remember to come back down to earth and appreciate the beauty of the present moment. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some munchies.

Namaste, my friends.

The Marijuana Tax Act: A Legacy of Greed and Racism

View fullsize

The Marijuana Tax Act, passed by the US government in 1937, was marketed as a measure to protect public health and safety, but in reality, it was driven by greed and racism. The Act criminalized the possession and distribution of marijuana, which was primarily associated with Mexican immigrants and black jazz musicians. The proponents of the law capitalized on racist stereotypes to sway public opinion and push the bill through Congress. The Act imposed heavy taxes on marijuana sales, creating a lucrative revenue stream for the government, and allowing it to target and punish those breaking the law. The wealthy white Americans could profit from the prohibition of marijuana by investing in the prison-industrial complex or selling it illegally. The law led to a cycle of poverty and incarceration that persists to this day, disproportionately affecting communities of color.

The Act was not solely driven by greed, but it was also influenced by the personal interests of individuals in power. Andrew Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury at the time, had a significant financial interest in the criminalization of marijuana. Mellon was heavily invested in the DuPont chemical company, which had recently developed a new synthetic fiber, nylon. Nylon posed a threat to the hemp industry, which was a major competitor of DuPont. Hemp was used to produce a range of products, including paper, textiles, and fuel, and was also a primary source of marijuana. By criminalizing marijuana, Mellon effectively eliminated the competition to nylon and secured a profitable future for DuPont. Henry Anslinger, the Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, played a pivotal role in promoting the racist narrative that led to the criminalization of marijuana. Anslinger used his position of power to demonize marijuana and the communities associated with it, primarily Mexicans and African Americans. He claimed that marijuana caused violent and sexual behavior and was a threat to the morality of white America. Anslinger's campaign was supported by the media, which amplified the racist messaging and created a climate of fear and mistrust towards communities of color.

View fullsize

The key players who stood to profit from the Marijuana Tax Act were the politicians and lawmakers who championed it, the law enforcement agencies and private prisons that benefited from its implementation, and the organized crime syndicates and individuals who were able to sell marijuana illegally. All of these groups were motivated by greed and the desire to make a profit, often at the expense of communities of color who were disproportionately targeted and punished for marijuana-related offenses.

Today, as the tide begins to turn towards legalization, it's important to acknowledge the role of individuals like Mellon and Anslinger in the Act's creation, and the damage that has been done as a result of their personal interests and racist beliefs. The Act had a far-reaching and devastating impact on communities of color, leading to poverty and incarceration. While some states have moved to legalize marijuana in recent years, there is still a long way to go to undo the harm that has been inflicted on communities of color. The legalization of marijuana should not only be a matter of economic opportunity, but of social justice. We must work to create a more just and equitable society, one where the harm done by the Marijuana Tax Act can be rectified.

From One Mama to Another: Managing Postpartum Depression with Cannabis and Self Care

Hey there, new moms! Let's talk about the joys of postpartum depression! Just kidding, it's a total buzzkill. But don't worry, we've got some tips to help you manage the postpartum blues with a little bit of self-care and cannabis.

First things first, postpartum depression is no joke. It's a real and serious condition that affects many new moms. According to the American Psychological Association, up to 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression. Symptoms can range from feeling down and overwhelmed to more severe feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness.

But the good news is that there are ways to manage postpartum depression, and self-care is a crucial part of that. Self-care can mean different things to different people, but it's all about taking care of your physical and mental health.

And here's where the cannabis comes in. Yes, that's right, we're talking about weed. Cannabis can actually be an effective treatment for depression, including postpartum depression.

Studies have shown that cannabis can help alleviate symptoms of depression by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, which regulates mood, appetite, and sleep. The cannabinoids in cannabis can also help reduce anxiety and stress, which are common symptoms of postpartum depression.

Now, we're not suggesting you go out and get totally baked. Like any medication, cannabis should be used responsibly and in consultation with a healthcare provider. But incorporating cannabis into your self-care routine can be a game-changer for managing postpartum depression.

And let's not forget about the importance of humor in self-care. Laughter truly is the best medicine, and finding ways to bring a little joy into your day can do wonders for your mental health. Whether it's watching a funny movie or spending time with friends who make you laugh, don't underestimate the power of a good giggle.

So here's what we suggest: take a moment for yourself and indulge in a little self-care. Maybe that means taking a bubble bath, going for a walk, or trying out a new hobby. And if you're feeling down, consider incorporating cannabis into your routine (after consulting with your healthcare provider, of course). And always remember to find humor in the little things, because sometimes the best medicine is just a good laugh.

In conclusion, postpartum depression is a serious condition that affects many new moms, but there are ways to manage it with a little bit of self-care and a touch of cannabis. So go ahead, treat yourself to some TLC, and don't forget to laugh along the way. You got this, mama!

Time to Celeberate All Things Women

The Undefeated Power of Black Women in Cannabis

National Women's Day is a celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women worldwide. It is also a call to action for gender equality and women's rights. This year, National Women's Day is particularly significant because it comes at a time when the world is facing unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has highlighted the gender inequalities that exist in our society and has underscored the importance of women's contributions to the economy and society.

One area where gender and racial inequalities are particularly stark is in the cannabis industry. While the cannabis industry is rapidly expanding and becoming a major player in the global economy, it is also an industry that is dominated by men, particularly white men. According to a recent report by the New York Times, black women make up less than 2% of the cannabis industry.

In conclusion, this lack of representation is particularly troubling given the creative and innovative potential of black women. Despite the obstacles they face, black women have a long history of making significant contributions to the arts, culture, and society as a whole. Black women are known for their creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience, qualities that are particularly valuable in the fast-paced and ever-changing cannabis industry.
