Tune into this episode of the Cured Collective Podcast, where Joe and Lauren discuss cannabis, the stigmatization of canna-parenting, and how to examine your own relationship with the plant. They each share their individual history with marijuana, as well as how their use has changed during different seasons of life. Now, as parents, they are exploring the different ways cannabis can become a household topic of conversation.

Joe and Lauren also compare cannabis use to “mommy wine culture,” and question the double standard and shaming parents face when they choose to open up about their use of marijuana. As someone who has experienced significant relief from various symptoms related to anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and an eating disorder, Lauren invites you to consider the therapeutic effects of plant medicine. When used responsibly, isn’t it possible for cannabis use and parenting to co-exist in a way that actually benefits the parent-child relationship? 

Join the conversation and break through the stigma!
