We call it the Single Dad Cannabis Club, and we meet once a month.
Everyone takes a turn hosting. Since we are all single dads we all have to bring our kids with us. Each month we all pool our money to hire one or two local babysitters. These chaperones spend a few hours watching the whole group of kids, while the single dads go outside and get stoned. For that brief period of time we are free to relax, be ourselves, and vent about our lives. It’s the only time any of us get free “adult time” to commiserate. I know that all single parents reading this will understand, but other people might not get it. Cannabis Club isn’t about complaining about our kids, because we all love being parents. But no matter how much I love being a Dad, I need that mental break of smoking marijuana with my pals, even if just for a few hours. At home I don’t get the chance to smoke out very often, and when I can get high usually it’s with cannabis edibles or gummies. If the kiddos are around I don’t want them choking on cannabis smoke, because we all know how quickly it can hot-box a house! During Cannabis Club we usually have a series of blunts, joints, and pipes that are passed around continuously throughout the evening. The kids are safe and having fun inside the house, and all the dads can leisurely enjoy some recreational cannabis and talk about life. Cannabis Club gives us something to look forward to.
