From the outside, the moms gathered in a Santa Monica living room could have been conferring about carpools, school boards or fundraisers....
The living room belongs to the author of that book, Wendy Brazill, and on a sunny April morning she invited fellow local moms Angie Stocker, Shonitria Anthony and Alyssa Wraylie over to talk not about homework or healthful snacks but about marijuana and motherhood. (Brazill has a blended family of six now-adult children with husband, comedy writer/director Chad Einbinder.) Brazill “absolutely” believes consuming cannabis made her better at being a mom.
***“I know it did,” Brazill, 57, said of her experiences with being a “cannamom,” a hashtag on social media given to mothers who enjoy marijuana while parenting. “Conversations were deeper. Our playtime was more enjoyable. In my head I wasn’t thinking about the bills I had to pay and things I needed to get done before tomorrow. I was actually able to sit with [my kids], enjoy them.”
Stocker, 39, a West Adams comedian/dispensary receptionist with two children, ages 3 and 6, and an Etsy shop side-hustle selling weed-themed merchandise, is one of those who sings the plant’s praises as mommy’s leafy little helper.
“This isn’t like when you’re in college and you’re getting stoned and falling asleep on the couch,” added Wraylie, 44, who lives in Topanga Canyon and describes herself as a “mom, herbalist and nurse” with two children, 6 and 9...
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 (such is the case with Adam Mansbach’s “Go the F— to Sleep”). And she thinks “Why Mommy Gets High” could be an appropriate part of the pot-and-parenting discussion starting with preschool-age children.

We’re white punks on dope
Mom & dad moved to Hollywood
Hang myself when I get enough rope
Can’t clean up, though I know I should
White punks on dope
White punks on dope
Who exactly are they trying to convince?
A lot of them day drink - my libtard daughter tells me all about it 🤪
When the stuff gets legalized, the message is: “This is good for you.”
Maybe that wasn’t the intended message, but it pretty clearly was taken that way. A lot of people are self-medicating with this wonderful stuff that is approved by our benevolent government. Huxley called it Soma in “Brave New World”.
“Things are different today, I hear every mother say”
Nice reference!
She goes running for the shelter..
Even Grace Slick said she had to quit stuff when she had her kid.
the excuse that abusing a mind altering substance didn’t interfere with their life is something we hear from alcoholics and addicts all the time.
Soma was Valium, not cannabis.
As per usual, it’s all about them and not about their children.
What could rational, decent people possibly have in common with these people?
A lot of Freepers will bash anyone who doesn’t worship pot.
I saw The Tubes.
L
Wish I did.
They called it “dope” for a reason.
I’ve noticed that.
This thread should draw them out. I'll keep watch.
I'm pretty much stoned all the time. If someone tells me it's not for them I say decent choice.
I don't drink. Don't care who does. Hate the crap out of drunks.
Well this is a good reason why homeschooling should be banned.
