Kaycee Bawdon is out to show that smoking marijuana while taking care of children is perfectly acceptable.

When the mother of four from central California gets together for a playdate with other moms, they often enjoy some herbal refreshment while kids frolic in the yard nearby.

Whether it’s smoking from a bong or lighting a joint, these moms make marijuana a regular part of their lives.

Middle-aged parents are now more likely to use pot than their teenage children, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bawdon, 30, and her friends believe marijuana helps treat pain and depression and also helps them relax and boosts their productivity. Recreational pot use is legal in California.

“I can smoke it and go clean my whole house and do all my laundry and just get everything done,” Elizabeth Orduno told Shriver.

Bawdon, who started a blog called “The Cannavist Mom,” suffers from migraines and says prescription pills left her feeling foggy and disconnected.

Until six years ago, she was staunchly anti-marijuana. When she was 5, parents services removed her and her three siblings from her home due to her own parents’ drug abuse, according to the bio on her blog.

Her husband, who has smoked marijuana since he was a teen, urged her to try it for her migraines instead of pharmaceuticals. Now she grows it on her patio and says it has made her pain-free and a much better parent.

Some health experts warn against parenting on marijuana, and the CDC says it has strong evidence that smoking pot can lead to addiction, memory problems, short-term declines in memory and learning and more effects.

“One’s reaction time may be slowed, ability to respond in an emergency, coordination may be impaired,” Dr. Larissa Mooney of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center told Shriver. “Smoking is inherently unhealthy, and by sending the message that we’re smoking something to take the edge off or to cope with pain, that sends a message to our children.”
