A group of rich mothers of Beverly Hills are throwing marijuana parties and are trying to change the perception that drugs and parenting don’t mix. If they were… Never mind! Check out the photos and videos here…
These ‘marijuana moms’ meet regularly for lavish cannabis-infused dinners. Many of them smoke marijuana several times a day to relax and cope with chronic pain. They say the drug, which is legal with a prescription in the state of California, makes them better parents and better wives.
Many of the women in the group are married. Most have young children. Some are wealthy stay-at-home mothers. Others work part-time as bartenders or in the service industry. One is the wife of a police officer. ’We’ve all come up against people who say marijuana is for dirty druggies, but we are proof you can be good parents and productive members of society and use it,’ Cheryl Shuman, a 53-year-old mother of two, said.
’I like to think we are bringing some glamor and exclusivity to marijuana use.’
She compared ingesting marijuana on a regular basis to mothers in the 1960s who took ‘mother’s little helper’ pills – Valium – to help them cope with the daily strains of motherhood and running a household. After the meal, the women gather to sample new strains of marijuana and smoke together.
January Thomas, 37, says she smokes marijuana five times a day while she looks after her two-year-old daughter Zenna. She said the drug has become such an important part of her life that she has started to teach her daughter about it.
