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.
