Description

Finally a children’s book to explain why some parents choose to use marijuana as a way to relax and connect with their kids. For years, this natural stress reducer has been unfairly demonized. In writing Why Mommy Gets High my goal was to start a conversation between parents and their children in hopes of taking away the fear that some adults feel who responsibly use cannabis. Just as many parents choose to have a glass of wine in order to relax after a long day, marijuana when used responsibly should be viewed similarly. Why Mommy Gets High, explains to children that marijuana used in moderation by adults is not some scary evil substance, but rather a potentially wonderful aid in helping parents to relax, connect, and enjoy their children even more.
