Wife and mama to two little ones, I've been a fan of recreational cannabis use since I was young, earning me the nickname Bodacious Kass (thanks, stereotypes) but I came back to it for therapeutic purposes post-legalization after dealing with chronic (no pun intended) pain and exacerbated anxiety from an auto accident.
 
Realizing the potential of the cannabis plant for low or moderate use has been really exciting. There's a lot of work to do to educate others, and de-stigmatize the use of this plant for its healing and beneficial properties. As women we're under so much pressure, and as mothers, we're hardest on ourselves. To me, cannabis is no different than coffee, tea and essential oils. If used properly, it can contribute to your wellness practice in ways that can revitalize you, and help you sleep, relax, or tackle things your mind and body are preventing you from handling like the badass mama you really are. Let’s dismantle the idea that it is dirty, grungy, and that unproductive stoners and hippies are the only kind out there. I still see nothing wrong with hippies, but I digress… let’s change the game and take back our lives! I’m rooting for you.
