A GROUP of weed-smoking mums who meet for lavish cannabis-infused lunches say taking marijuana is making them BETTER parents.
The get-togethers are part of a new craze for medicinal marijuana parties - which are legal in California, USA.
Mum-of-two Cheryl Shuman, 53, hosts posh dinners each month in Beverly Hills where friends can try new strains of the drug after a meals containing pot leaves and cannabis oil.
And the women, who use the drug to ease conditions such as arthritis, believe marijuana use should be legalised EVERYWHERE.
January Thomas, 37, smokes marijuana up to five times per day while looking after her 2-year-old daughter, Zeena.
The part-time bar tender even takes Zeena to 'hemp rallies' with fiancé Magic Ellington - who goes by the name Henry Hemp.
January, who smokes marijuana to cope with early onset arthritis, said: "Marijuana makes me a better and more creative parent.
"It puts me in the moment with Zeena and stops me worrying about everyday problems."
January Thomas: "I want her to understand the benefits of cannabis so I read her books like Mommy's Funny Medicine and It's Just a Plant, to teach her."
January, who uses a bong to take the drug, swaps cannabis recipes with the other women in the group.
Entrepreneur Cheryl started the meet-ups after overcoming ovarian cancer in 2011, which she partly attributes to taking marijuana oils to ease her symptoms.
Enlisting the help of top Beverly Hills chef David Schanhals, Cheryl got together a group of friends who were all medicating with the plant.
She said: "Seeing how medicinal marijuana helped me when I thought I was going to die made me realise how much good it can do.
"All the women in the group suffer with chronic aches and pains and taking cannabis in a group setting makes it seem more socially acceptable.
"We've all come up against people who say marijuana is for dirty druggies, but we are proof you can be good parents and productive members of society and use it.
"I like to think we are bringing some glamour and exclusivity to marijuana use.
"In the Sixties there was 'mother's little helper' pills which gave stressed-out women a bit of extra pep.
"Taking marijuana is just the same, it helps us get through the day."
