I am a part of a mother’s group in town.
I wanted to know what the secret was to remaining so cool and calm when trying to parent a toddler.
All these women seem to have their stuff together, and I wanted to know how they did it! It turns out the secret was wine, nothing magical or philosophical about it. They would slip a little wine, along with some fizzy water, in their refillable water bottles and just sip on it throughout the day. I didn’t want to drink wine all day long, but the experience did motivate me to go to the cannabis dispensary and pick up some edibles. The point was to find something that could relax me, and for me that “something” was cannabis. I obviously couldn’t smoke marijuana around the toddler, or leave him unattended to go smoke outside, so edibles were the perfect solution. The only potential problem was him getting big enough to find, grab, and eat the edibles himself. I solved the problem by always keeping my edibles into a sealable container, one that he wouldn’t be capable of opening for several years. For me edibles fit the bills, and served the same purpose that wine does for those other moms. Wine makes me sleepy, but a nice pot brownie infused with sativa is perfect for my lazy morning playing with the baby. My mom seems to think that it’s dangerous for me to have any cannabis in my system while I watch the baby, but I think she was indoctrinated by the old Reefer Madness mentality.
