Cannabis-user? Yes. Mom? Also yes. Here are 4 pro-cannabis momfluencers we’re following right now
As cannabis prohibition has become a thing of the past in several states, more people are feeling comfortable publicly talking about using cannabis. For parents, however, this can be tricky.
Even in parts of the country where cannabis is legal, the stigma around parents using cannabis persists, especially for women.
But now more than ever, many women are breaking down stigmas and proudly showing that being a great mom and enjoying a toke are not mutually exclusive.
In honor of Women’s History Month, we at GreenState are celebrating the trailblazing moms who are getting real about cannabis use on social media. Here are the top cannabis-loving momfluencers (yes, that’s a thing) we’re following right now.
