A Kingston mother says there is still a stigma about pot use and parenting

Despite cannabis now being legal for over a year — and edibles hitting provincial stores this coming week — a young Kingston mother says there is still a stigma about pot use and parenting.

That is why she co-created an online group for like-minded mothers.

“We wanted to create a safe space for moms who consume cannabis,” says Riley Parratt.

Parratt is a 25-year-old single mother with a two-year-old daughter.

Parratt and her friend Hollie Quinn, also a young mother, both consume cannabis.

Their message a simple one: there is no shame in smoking pot.
