‘I’m not doing anything wrong’: Pot-smoking L.A. moms on parenting while high

From the outside, the moms gathered in a Santa Monica living room could have been conferring about carpools, school boards or fundraisers, any of the myriad mundane meet-ups that come with parenting. It most likely would have skipped right over one mother’s dangly pot-leaf earrings or another’s black T-shirt emblazoned with “Moms who smoke weed aren’t bad moms.” And you’d practically have to be sitting on one of the couches in the compact, art-filled space to notice that the children’s book on the coffee table in front of them was titled “Why Mommy Gets High.” The living room belongs to the author of that book, Wendy Brazill, and on a sunny April morning she invited fellow local moms Angie Stocker, Shonitria Anthony and Alyssa Wraylie over to talk not about homework or healthful snacks but about marijuana and motherhood. So they’re not going to be like, ‘But my teacher said, but my counselor said, but my friend said.’ It’s ‘This is what my mom said.’” “They know what CBD is,” Anthony said. I do think you should be honest with your kids.” As for Brazill’s children’s book, Schauer said, “I don’t see the point of writing this book other than to normalize cannabis use and promote it. “Even with my husband — who consumes and is totally great — was like ‘You’re just going to wear that to the preschool?’” she said.
