Yo, listen up all you hip parents out there. As weed becomes more and more mainstream, it’s no surprise that some of us are partaking in a little green action from time to time. And you know what? That’s totally cool. But being a stoner parent comes with its own set of challenges, so let’s break it down for you.
First things first, your kids are always watching you. Like, always. So if you’re constantly lighting up to deal with stress or anger, they’re gonna pick up on that vibe. And if you’re always chilling on the couch high as a kite, they might start thinking that’s how adults should act. It’s all about setting a good example and showing responsible cannabis use.
Now, I’m not saying you can’t smoke around your kids at all. In fact, it’s important for them to see that adults can enjoy weed responsibly. But you gotta make sure they know it’s only for grown-ups. Keep your stash locked up tight and out of reach, and consume discreetly when you’re around your kiddos.
When it comes to talking to your kids about weed, keep it simple when they’re young. Just let them know it’s something grown-ups do to relax, but it’s not for kids. As they get older, you’ll want to have more in-depth conversations about cannabis and the risks associated with using it as a teen.
Ultimately, being a stoner parent is all about finding that balance between enjoying your weed and being a kickass mom or dad. It’s not always easy, but as long as you’re showing up for your kids with love and support, you’re doing just fine.
So keep on blazing, keep on parenting, and remember – you’ve got this. Peace out, my fellow stoner parents.
