Ask A Stoner ~ Cannabis and Parenting - Finding the Balance
Hey there, Inquisitive Stoner Parent!
I feel you on a personal level, as we're in the parent "hood" together! As someone who's used cannabis for years, I've faced the challenge of finding that delicate balance being the best parent I can be - and still getting to enjoy cannabis occasionally. So, let me open up and share some of my personal experiences and insights as a stoner parent.
First things first, timing is everything. That magical window of opportunity when the kids are off to dreamland or under the loving care of a trusted babysitter? That's your time to shine! Sunday night is my perfect moment for unwinding and reviewing the week.
Now, let's talk about discretion. Goes without saying, it's all about being a master of subtlety. Opt for discreet methods like edibles that won't blow your cover. Nothing says "parenting prowess," like integrating a little cannabliss (ya like that one?) into your daily routine without anyone peeping game.
As parents, we often forget to take care of ourselves amidst the chaos of family life. Occasional cannabis use can help rescue us from parental exhaustion. Indulge in a cannabis-infused bath, kick back with a gummy and a good book, or enjoy some quiet introspection moments. Remember, a happy and relaxed parent is a superhero parent.
Let's address the green elephant in the room—the parental guilt. But fear not; you're doing fantastic. Embrace your role as a parent and release any judgment or societal expectations. As long as your little ones are safe, loved, and cared for, feel free to bask in the joyful embrace of cannabis and all its wonders.
Most importantly, embrace the joy, the laughter, and the relaxation that cannabis provides. Wishing you endless laughter, zen-filled moments, and the perfect cannabis strains to complement your extraordinary parental endeavors!
With love and laughter,
Stoner
