Kimberlee Kesterson and Jessica Carroll are moms, and they also enjoy consuming cannabis. These two identities haven't always fit together in the eyes of society, but Kesterson and Carroll are working to change that. Their group, STL Cannamoms, gives mothers a chance to get out and enjoy cannabis at monthly events, which range from yoga or brunch to arts and crafts or a tattoo pop-up. "When you become a mother, your whole world changes," Kesterson says. "You're used to being able to just get up and go and do whatever you want, whenever you want. That dynamic changes when you have kids. It's so easy to forget about yourself when you're so busy taking care of everybody else."
