Nurturing Naturally: Exploring Conscious Cannabis Consumption for Mothers

Join us for an empowering and informative event designed to navigate the intersection of natural parenting practices and responsible cannabis consumption within the evolving legal landscape.

This comprehensive gathering offers a supportive space for individuals interested in learning more about their rights, available resources, and mindful approaches to cannabis use, particularly during the crucial postpartum period. Whether you're a new parent, expecting, or simply curious, "Nurturing Naturally" provides valuable insights and practical tools for informed decision-making.

Event Highlights:

• Fireside Chat Discussion: "Consuming While Carrying" - Navigating Nuances and Legalities: This crucial panel will feature legal experts, healthcare professionals, and experienced parents who will delve into the complex legal and ethical considerations surrounding cannabis consumption during pregnancy and breastfeeding in Oklahoma. We will explore current legislation, potential risks and benefits (where research exists), and strategies for making informed choices while prioritizing the well-being of both parent and child. (Please note: This discussion aims to provide information and does not endorse or encourage cannabis consumption during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The focus is on understanding the legal landscape and available information.)
• Topic Discussion: Knowing What to Expect with DHS: Representatives or advocates familiar with the Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) will provide clarity on parental rights and expectations related to cannabis use. This session aims to demystify potential concerns and offer guidance on navigating interactions with DHS in a way that protects your family.
• Topic Discussion: SoonerCare Discounts for Medical Card Recommendations: Learn about potential avenues for accessing medical cannabis recommendations at a reduced cost through SoonerCare (Oklahoma's Medicaid program). Experts will explain eligibility criteria and the process for obtaining a medical marijuana card, making this option more accessible.
• Topic Discussion: Consumption Methods - Beyond Smoking: Explore a variety of discreet and potentially less harmful cannabis consumption methods suitable for postpartum and parenting life. This session will cover edibles, tinctures, topicals, and other alternatives, discussing their onset times, durations, and considerations for responsible use around children.
• Topic Discussion: Tools for Postpartum - Integrating Cannabis Mindfully: This session will focus on practical strategies and tools for incorporating cannabis into your postpartum routine in a conscious and responsible manner (for those who choose to consume). Topics may include microdosing, strain selection for specific needs (e.g., sleep, pain relief), safe storage practices, and establishing boundaries to ensure child safety.
• Opportunity to Get Your Med Card at a Discounted Rate: Take advantage of this unique opportunity to consult with a qualified physician on-site and potentially receive your medical marijuana recommendation at a special discounted rate. This provides a convenient pathway for eligible individuals to access legal cannabis for therapeutic purposes. (Please bring necessary identification and medical records, if applicable.
