Mothers Say Marijuana Improves Their Parenting Skills

Anything that takes the edge off has to be good

There's a buzz happening in Beverly Hills over a group of women who call themselves the "Marijuana Moms."

Many of the members of this loosely-knit group of pot-smoking parents smoke the wacky weed in order to relax or cope with chronic pain. In addition, they meet regularly for lavish dinners where the herb is a key ingredient in dishes like cannabis leaf salad, chicken fried in cannabis oil and marijuana milk shakes, Orange News UK reported.

Cheryl Shuman, a 53-year-old mother of two, said the group's joint mission is to show that smoking marijuana makes them better parents and better wives.
