Being a mom who smokes weed is honestly something I am very proud of because I know I am a great mom and it's mostly because cannabis is part of my self-care routine. However, cannabis is still federally illegal and very misunderstood due to the lack of education on the plant. Most people still consider weed a drug and those who partake in it drug addicts. So imagine what these naysayers call moms who smoke weed? It's hardly kind. This episode of the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast is sponsored...

I breastfed both of my kids. But I only used cannabis while breastfeeding one of them. Not too surprisingly, my second born (my cannababy) was the kid I used cannabis while breastfeeding and he's the one I ended up breastfeeding the longest -- 25 months to be exact. I know it's no coincidence either because without cannabis I would have given up and thrown in the towel way sooner because breastfeeding is not easy -- neither is weaning. Well, that's what I thought until I started intentionally...
