A social media trend dubbed "garden moms" sees women replacing "wine mom" culture with cannabis use as a way to cope with the stresses of parenting, with TikTok and Instagram creator Taylor Mitchem (@thatgardenmomma) among those promoting the practice as beneficial to her mothering. The trend raises questions about whether marijuana genuinely helps parents manage stress, as medical experts caution that the evidence is inconclusive and that regular use carries notable health risks.

Fox News Digital spoke to Mitchem about her routine of using cannabis to unwind, while Dr Jeremy London warned of serious health concerns, including risks to heart health, associated with regular marijuana use. The article frames the phenomenon as part of a broader shift away from alcohol-focused "mommy wine culture" towards cannabis, though it notes the medical reality around its effects on parenting and wellbeing remains unclear.
