Cannabis. Weed. Marijuana. What do you call it? And what do you look like? \u00a0<\/strong>If you’re reading this, we’re guessing you don\u2019t resemble the quintessential stoner character or anything even remotely reminiscent of the characters from Bill and Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Crushing Stoner Stereotypes<\/h2>\n

The face of cannabis has evolved. Or, more aptly, the many beautiful and wildly diverse faces of cannabis have been given, through advocacy, legalization and the like, a reason to come out of the shadows.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re loving the exploration of what this all means. How has the stereotype been crushed? And by whom?<\/p>\n

This week we explored a group that the media has coined Pot Moms. \u00a0And here’s what we learned:<\/p>\n

For many, the thought of Mom smoking cannabis<\/a> is as ridiculous an idea as they come. But for one Colorado mother, it\u2019s real. And it\u2019s been life-altering.<\/p>\n

Pot Moms<\/h3>\n

Brittany Driver was overcome with grief when a close friend of hers passed away. The intensity of her grief made it difficult for her to eat. She began medicating with cannabis after she found it helped her regain her appetite, which, in turn, helped her break through her struggle with grief and strengthen her role as a parent. Though Driver resides in a state where marijuana is fully legal recreationally, under Federal law, the usage of cannabis is forbidden. Marijuana is still classified under Federal law as a Schedule 1 substance.<\/p>\n

The gray areas of cannabis – present and future – do little to assure Driver that her responsible use of cannabis won\u2019t in turn endanger her role as a parent. Many Pot Moms fear the threat of Child Protective Services and the possibility of agencies acting under those gray area federal provisions, even though though they are using legally and in accordance with state laws.<\/p>\n

Driver is confident that, as more brave Pot Moms come out as such, many misconceptions about pot, and who uses, will die. \u00a0And fear, and the likelihood of its underlying source, will subside.<\/p>\n

Driver is a columnist for The Denver Post’s The Cannabist<\/a>, writing about Pot and Parenting and working to break the stigma\u00a0of Pot Moms.<\/p>\n

Moms for Marijuana<\/a> International is a group established in 2005 that works to spread awareness and education on the topic. \u00a0This group is an incredible resource as well. \u00a0Please check them out here: Moms for Marijuana<\/a>.<\/p>\n
