Help! I Just Found Out My Parents Smoke Weed

Description:

Young adults often struggle with how to tell their parents about their own cannabis use. But what happens when that scenario is turned around and the young adult learns their parents are now smoking weed?

The Hemp Housewife, a Half Baked Housewife and the host of The Canna Mom Show take to the stage to speak candidly about discovering cannabis later in life. They’ll also share why they turned to cannabis and how their cannabis usage is received by the adult children (who they raised to believe that cannabis is a gateway drug). And it’s not just parents using cannabis, grandparents are too! These three charming ladies explain why they “came out of the green closet” as cannabis advocates and influencers and how it’s effected their families.

Takeaways

  1. Older people are the fastest-growing group of cannabis users, thanks to a fading stigma and desire to take fewer prescription drugs.
  2. Yes, your aging parents are sorry they raised you to believe the government’s lies about cannabis. The stigma was strong for their generation.
  3. Looking towards the future: For those in the cannabis industry, what will we do to make cannabis accessible for older Americans?
