Mom, who compares cannabis consumption to a glass of wine, has sparked heated debates on social media!
Both parents are human and need time to relax and recharge their batteries. A mom’s post on the subject went viral because her way of relaxing was met with many opposing views
If you asked most parents what their favorite part of the day is, you would surely get the answer - evening, when you put your kids to sleep and catch some air for themselves.
After almost 12 hours of madness, your family nest calms down, so it's time for you to watch a series or a movie, maybe have a glass of wine or maybe go for a workout.
No, lest there be a misunderstanding, we don’t advocate the use of drugs or alcohol, but we bring you an online discussion sparked by Nicole from Florida, a mother of two, and obviously a big proponent of cannabis legalization in Florida. Namely, you can get marijuana there legally for medical purposes if you have a doctor's prescription.
So, Nicole brought up the question of how it is that no one is bothered when parents consume alcohol, while marijuana consumption is associated with addiction and attributed to its bad impact on children.
‘How you relax after the kids fall asleep is up to you. We are already constantly under condemnation for every decision we make as mothers, 'said Nicole, adding:' Can we finally stop condemning something that has been legalized in more than half the country? '

Her post had about 3.4 thousand views and provoked more than 95 thousand reactions, and this topic managed to involve many parents in the discussion.
There were those who agreed with Nicole, but there were those who sharply criticized her.
Many were of the opinion that both forms of relaxation are entering the area of addiction and that are by no means a healthy example for children or a good pattern of behavior.
‘Maybe we should promote healthy relaxation techniques instead of intoxicants,’ one dad commented.
There were also those who wondered why parents after a day with their children should need any form of relaxation at all because it was their decision was to bring their children into this world and now they find it hard to cope with the pressure.
