BBM Ep. 197: How to deal with judgment & shaming as a cannamom
Blunt Blowin' Mama
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 by Cubiq. Cubiq offers high-quality microdosing psychedelic products such as gummies and capsules....

info_outlineOn this week's episode of Blunt Blowin' Mama, we are running back a conversation where we analyze a study on cannabis use in pregnancy that was published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) on Nov. 15, 2021. This study claims that cannabis use in pregnancy causes higher levels of cortisol in the children born, resulting in more instances of anxiety, stress, and depression.
Here's the study: https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2106115118
Now, you know we tried to go straight to the source and we reached out to the study's author, Yasmin Hurd, but got no response. So we brought on our own medical experts to unpack the study's findings and provide real, transparent, and unbiased insights from two board-certified registered nurses, Kait Boettcher and Adjuan Edgerson. We asked each nurse a variety of questions about the study, and they broke down what this study's findings really mean for pregnant mamas using cannabis. The nurses also provide advice for expectant mothers who want to use cannabis for medical reasons.
This episode is so informative and really teaches us that we hold the power to educate ourselves on the effects of cannabis -- especially when it comes to its use during pregnancy.
Want to know more about cannabis use for mamas? Then the BBM Breastfeeding And Cannabis Workshop and the Pregnancy And Cannabis Workshop is just for you! Shonitria spoke with expert panels on these important topics to answer frequently asked questions so that parents could make informed decisions about the plant during these important times in their lives. Weed is an option and these workshops will leave you with the confidence to make the decision that’s best for you and your family when it comes to the plant.
