We dive into episode two of Mommy's New Medicine, focusing on breaking cannabis stigmas with Joyce from The Canna Mom Show. 

Joyce,  a pioneer in cannabis podcasting, shares her journey into the world of cannabis and podcasting, which began with a visit to Colorado. This trip opened her eyes to the professional and regulated side of the cannabis industry, challenging her preconceived notions. Joyce's revelation about cannabis to her children, particularly her son Josh, who joins the conversation, marks a turning point in her family's approach to cannabis.

Josh's highlights the normalization of cannabis in their household and its impact on his upbringing. He contrasts this with the typical stigmatization surrounding cannabis use, suggesting that a more open and educated approach can lead to a healthier relationship with the plant.

The conversation shifts to the broader implications of cannabis legalization and its potential benefits, especially for women and mothers. Joyce emphasizes the importance of crushing the cannabis stigma and advocates for a more informed and compassionate approach to cannabis use, both medically and recreationally.

Monica and Joyce explore the challenges and opportunities within the cannabis industry, particularly for women. They discuss the potential of cannabis to offer alternative solutions to traditional pharmaceuticals and alcohol, advocating for a shift in perception towards viewing cannabis as a viable and beneficial option.

The conversation about cannabis is encouraging a shift towards more open and informed discussions about its use and benefits. Advocacy can be done by bringing elected officials into the conversation as well.

In our next episode, we will delve into the intersection of cannabis use and managing ADHD, further expanding the podcast's exploration of the multifaceted relationship between motherhood, mental health, technology, and cannabis.
