Do Mom's Smoke Weed? - Weeday

Motherhood today looks a little different, and it’s beautiful. This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating moms who are choosing authenticity over expectations. The days of the "wine mom" stereotype are slowly giving way to a more mindful, plant-loving version: the cannabis mom. Across the country (and especially on TikTok), Garden Moms are showing how self-care, creativity, and cannabis can redefine motherhood.

Wine Mom Culture vs. Weed Mom Culture

The traditional "wine mom" trope was once seen as the ultimate symbol of stressed-out parent solidarity. The kids are constantly driving you crazy, and the only way to help it is “mommy juice” at the end of the day.

But today’s CannaMoms are choosing a different path. Rather than numbing out, many moms say cannabis helps them feel more present, creative, and calm. It eliminates this image of the mom who is so stressed she cannot even enjoy time with her kids, and instead turns into one seeking relaxation and genuine connection with their family.

This shift speaks volumes about changing priorities: intentional relaxation, mental health support, and embracing natural alternatives are now front and center. Although there seems to be a cultural shift, wine moms are still seen as a norm. However, more and more moms who smoke weed are speaking out about the benefits—and they're doing it proudly.

Who Are the Garden Moms?

If you’ve spent any time on TikTok, you might have seen the rise of Garden Mom TikTok. These are the chill, earthy mamas who enjoy cannabis, advocate for plant power, and post their authentic parenting experiences with cannabis. Many call out this cultural shift to enjoying cannabis over wine.

Creator @steph.trenkamp is a Garden Mom with her own Podcast about the topic of “gardening” on social media, The Garden Tok. Through her own TikTok she posts about her community of Garden moms, stoner breaks, product reviews, and more! It’s inspiring to see her candid content, and she even breaks down how to improve your cannabis content through her platforms, breaking down the stigma on socials even more.

When asked about her experience being a “canna-mom,” she explains, “Parenting is hard. Gardening doesn’t make it easier, it makes me better at doing hard things without burning out.”

The Gardening TikTok meaning goes beyond just plants—it’s a nod to nurturing oneself, breaking down stigma, building community, and embracing a slower, more intentional lifestyle. These moms are flipping the script on modern motherhood by encouraging honesty, self-care, and the normalization of cannabis use. We could ALL learn a thing or two from these moms about embracing our lifestyle, no matter the stigma! Learn more about the Gardening TikTok community.

Breaking the Stigma: Moms and Cannabis Use

Here’s the big question: why is it socially acceptable to joke about wine at noon, but a mom with a bong still faces judgment?

The double standards are real—but they’re starting to crumble. Thanks to legal changes and cultural shifts, cannabis is becoming a normalized part of wellness for many parents. Studies show that for some, cannabis can be a safer alternative to alcohol. Cannabis is considered a safer alternative due to its lack of overdose risk, effect on emotions, and effect on brain health.

Let’s break this down more:

• Overdose Risk: Alcohol is a highly toxic substance that, if used in excess, an overdose could be fatal. There are no known reports of cannabis overdose.*
• Effect on Emotions: Alcohol is more likely to contribute to violent or reckless behavior. The known effect of cannabis on mood? Relaxation.
• Effect on Brain Health: Some research suggests that alcohol can have a more significant impact on brain health than marijuana, potentially resulting in long-term changes in brain structure.

This CNN article highlights real stories of CannaMoms who are paving the way for a more open, judgment-free parenting culture. They find that cannaculture is for everyone, including parents!

*While these substances, including cannabis, are safe when used in moderation, always use them responsibly!

Why Are More Moms Choosing to Smoke Weed? (5 Big Reasons)

The question isn’t “Do moms smoke weed?” anymore, it’s "Why are more moms smoking weed?" Here are five major reasons:

Stress Relief Without the Hangover

Cannabis offers relaxation without the next-day regrets. Not sure about you, but I’d rather be the chill Mom than the hungover one!

Mindful Connection

Many moms who smoke weed say it helps them engage more deeply with their kids during creative play or outdoor time. Cannabis can make us feel more relaxed, receptive, and open—perfect for bonding and fun.

Better Sleep

Microdosing or using CBD blends can improve sleep, which every mom craves. With a little plant power, moms can take control over their sleep again.

Self-Care Rituals

Cannabis enhances meditation, journaling, gardening, and solo time—vital acts of self-love. Moms deserve to pour into their own cup before anyone else’s.

Natural Wellness

Cannabis can align with holistic lifestyles focused on organic living and mindful consumption. Many modern-day mommas are looking to live more mindfully with their families.

Favorite methods among CannaMoms include:

• Microdosing edibles or tinctures.
• CBD and THC blend for balanced effects.
• Discreet smoking with modular, travel-ready gear like Weeday’s pipes, one-hitters, and bubblers.
