Tokin' for the Tikes: "Marijuana Moms of Beverly Hills" Puff on the Tree, Say Pot "Makes Them Better Parents"!
Holy smokes. I guess that prescription marijuana thing ain't so hard to come by in Cali, at least not for this group of moms who say drawin' dro out the bong "helps them get through a day" of having to "cope with the daily strains of motherhood and running a household."
"It's just a plant," says 37-year-old group member January Thomas (the blonde pictured above, along with fiancee Henry Hemp -- you just can't make this stuff up). In one darling photo above, Thomas and Hemp read Thomas' daughter a "cannabis themed story book" entitled, "Mommy's Funny Medicine." I guess Drat in the Hat wasn't available.
Some of these moms reportedly liken their habit of lightin' up the la la at least "five times a day" to moms who popped "mother's little helper" Valium pills in the 1960s -- just like the old song goes.
And I can definitely see the pato positives that might inure to these moms' boring ol' everyday routines. For example:
-Mom sits down to watch TV with the kid, giggles through and enjoys the old cartoon "Scooby Doobie Doo" just as much as the child.
-Mom and youngster share a mid-afternoon snack, with a stick of Laughy Taffy for the tot and a jib of Wacky Tobaccy for Mom.
-Tike gets hot at Mom, calls her a fat-ass; but mom diffuses the situation by entertaining the brat with the sight of a real fatty.
-Mom and lad inspire a neighborhood sensation and go viral on YouTube with their newly contrived children's game, Ring Around the Reggie.
-Mom garners special appreciation from the youth by convincing it that Mrs. Grass Chicken Noodle Soup is really homemade.
-Mom and baby take up a shared hobby, tending a backyard groovy garden where onions are the only cash crop and weed-killer is the only no-no.
-Hydro hijinks have never been so fun, as toddler and Mom hit the driveway to simultaneously blow bubbles out of more pipes than one.
-Mom and swaddler start a new tradition on the block with an annual "Hog Leg Days" celebration, complete with Brady Bunch-style three-legged races, a $420 raffle, and free brownies for one and all.
