A mother described how she smokes marijuana as her children play, yet claims it is no different from other moms drinking wine or taking anxiety medicine.
Caitlin Fladager, 28, lives in Vancouver, Canada, where marijuana is allowed for both recreational and therapeutic purposes.
In an Instagram post, the mother of two stated, “If you see a parent drinking wine while watching her kids and it doesn’t bother you, or taking her anxiety medicine, then this shouldn’t worry you either.”
She then indicates cannabis.
She adds in another video that when another mom condemns her for smoking cannabis as she drinks her third glass of wine and says ‘wow you insane, you crazy person.’
She replied in response, she had said it before, and she’ll say it again. This double standard must end.
She is constantly seeing shirts, posters, signs, mugs, and other items with the phrase “mother needs a drink of wine.” Alternatively, “mom juice.”
However, the moment a mother admits to using cannabis, many others pass judgment.
She will always convey the advantages of this plant and the incredible ways it can be used when done correctly and with good intentions.
She hopes to “spread awareness” about how marijuana may help women become better mothers to their children.
She earlier stated on Instagram, she has never been the most patient with her two kids. Weed makes her a better mother because it allows her to sleep well at night. She wakes up refreshed and with a clearer head.”
Caitlin previously stated that she only smokes pot after her children have gone to bed, but she has since disclosed that she has a filter-style gadget that hides the scent from her children.
