If you get the moms smoking then you can get almost anybody. That's the plan of the legal cannabis industry, and they're searching for ways to get moms around the country to set down their wine and light up.

We travel to Denver with Jessica Roake, a mother of two from the suburbs of Washington, DC, for a mom-friendly cannabis tour. She gets blazed beyond belief in the name of market research.

1. Sweet sainted mothers getting HOOKED ON POT!!!!

I know moms who toke up. They wait until the kiddies go to sleep because nothing harshes a mellow like a shrieking kid.

3. True, but sometimes having a suddenly really mellow mom can calm the kids! nt

5. It works really well for when they're up also.

Just when I'm about to lose my patience with my 2 boys (5 and 2) it erases it all. Like a clean slate washes over me and my patience starts back new. But yeah, after they're asleep is great as well.

2. As long as its prescribed or legal, the kids arent in contact...

...and they arent driving, good for them.

Its a better compliment to parenting than a glass or two of wine, imho.

Cant wait for the anti-mj lobby horror stories of moms failing to parent because they were too busy laughing uncontrollably and eating.

4. I'd prefer that every Mom in the US

drinks alcohol and does crystal meth since it is much more difficult to detect it in their systems after a few days than marijuana.

Clearly those substances will promote a healthier living environment.
