A new trend has emerged on social media among women rejecting the wine mom culture of generations past and instead smoking marijuana to unwind from the stressors that come with motherhood and life.

They call themselves “garden moms.” Fox News Digital spoke with one of these moms, Taylor Mitchem, who goes by @thatgardenmomma on TikTok and Instagram, sharing her typical day-in-the-life as a Colorado mom of a six-year-old daughter who partakes in smoke sessions.

Mitchem explained that “gardening” is code for smoking weed to be able to make it past the algorithms. These moms have used #gardenmom as a code for videos showing their marijuana use.

“Why can’t I take a hit and then and still come in and be a cool mom?” shared Mitchem.

Dr. Jeremy London, a cardiovascular surgeon who also has a background in functional medicine, spoke with Fox News Digital about this trend and offered warnings about marijuana use.

Dr. London has millions of followers on social media, where he shares health tips. He is also the host of “The London Podcast,” has a newsletter, does speaking engagements and has been a guest on top shows like “The Mel Robbins Podcast” and “The School of Greatness,” hosted by Lewis Howes.

He acknowledged the desire to find things to help people unwind but said it is important to weigh all the risks.

“Life is really stressful and it’s hard,” he said. “But like everything in life, particularly when we’re looking at things that we’re doing to our bodies, there’s consequences.”

Mitchem shared that by smoking weed, she feels more clarity and focus as a mother.

“I’ve always grown up feeling like there was something a little different about me and no medication up or down was going to help that until I found cannabis,” she said. “And that’s been kind of a battle with me and my husband because he doesn’t smoke cannabis at all, doesn’t really like the smell of it necessarily, but he has seen the transformation in how it’s helped me in just myself and then also as a mother.”

The 36-year-old mother embraces the “natural” way to help her on a day-to-day basis.

“I feel like we were the test dummies of the ADHD meds, my generation,” she said. “When I decided I didn’t want to take them anymore, and kind of phased out of that. I grew into loving the natural ways of the plant and how it just rewired my brain in such a way that let me find peace and balance again without having to take a pill.”

EVERYDAY HABIT LINKED TO DRAMATICALLY LOWER RISK OF DYING FROM HEART DISEASE

Although Dr. London believes ADHD medication has been overprescribed in the past 20 years, he encourages healthier coping mechanisms.

“You always have to be cognizant of what you’re substituting,” he warned.

Dr. London said that cannabis can “significantly” increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

“Smoking cannabis in particular increases your risk of cardiovascular disease significantly,” he said. “Really in the short term, there was a recent study that came out that even if you don’t have a history of cardiovascular diseases, particularly blockages in the heart, it still increases your risks significantly of having a heart attack. In the short term, even after smoking cannabis, I’m talking hours.”

Dr. London said smoking damages the inner lining of the arteries and impacts the autonomic nervous system, often known as the “fight or flight” system.

He warned that smoking weed is a “dangerous” coping mechanism.

“Heart rate goes up, heart starts beating very fast, starts racing,” Dr. London said. “You also have constriction of the blood vessels. And you get release of a lot of stress hormones as well. In addition to causing blockages in a heart attack, it can also increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms. And that’s smoking or not, cannabis in general, in any form, increases the risk of having abnormal potentially dangerous heart rhythm.”

Mitchem compared smoking marijuana to how moms would use alcohol to unwind and asked, “Where is our break?”

Dr. London did acknowledge the dangers of alcohol.

“If we look at alcohol and how it affects the body and compare it to THC, the short answer would be that alcohol is toxic to every cell in the body.”

Although he doesn’t view marijuana as a healthier alternative.

“Cannabis does not have that level of toxicity (compared to alcohol), but that being said, you are still altering your neurologic function.”

Dr. London encouraged healthier habits to cope, such as exercise, including walking, breath work and meditation, and said life is meant to be “lived untampered.”

“I think that there’s a lot of trendy self-care that’s presented on social media these days as the new holy grail, the new shiny button, the way to deal with the stressors that all moms and all of us deal with in various forms in our lives,” he said. “And it becomes very tempting to jump on that bandwagon, but my opinion is twofold. One, that life is meant to be lived untampered and when you start to numb those edges, both the highs and the lows, you’re losing the human experience.”

Mitchem emphasized that when she is smoking, she is responsible, never driving a car and always putting her daughter first.

“And I feel like it’s so easy for people to see a one-minute clip of your day and puzzle it all together in their head, thinking that after I did this one thing, I’m immediately driving my kiddo and, you know, going somewhere, which is the absolute not truth,” Mitchem said. “And should there be an emergency, my husband is here. He’s coherent completely. He doesn’t smoke marijuana. And we also have a hospital directly across the street, which makes it really nice for us as well.”

Mitchem said her daughter doesn’t know that she smokes weed, and her daughter knows not to go into the room where she does.

Dr. London, who is a father of three grown sons, said that kids are always watching.

“Always remember that kids are watching what you’re doing, and they learn your behavior, your coping skills as the best way to do things,” he said. “And I think that if you feel like you have to hide something from your child that you feel is a positive in your life, you might — I want to think about that before you utilize that as your primary coping skill because you think that your kids don’t know what’s going on. They do, they really do.”

While state laws on cannabis vary, the FDA does not evaluate or approve raw cannabis or recreational weed for safety and efficacy. Only select prescription-derived cannabinoid drugs are federally approved.
