STL Cannamoms started as a "highdea" between two long-time friends, who were reunited through work in the cannabis industry. As their friendship flourished, so did the idea of a Facebook support group.
A little background about us and what we do from Kim K.'s perspective; "Ten years ago, I was hired onto my first office job, and there I met Jessica. We quickly grew close and would hang out every lunch break. That turned into after work shindigs revolving around American Horror Story nights and snacks. As our friendship grew, so did my belly because I was pregnant with my first child. I gave birth on my 19th birthday to a baby girl and Jessica was one of the first people I saw when I came out of surgery.
We stayed close for awhile after that, but slowly life drifted us apart. No exact reason, no bad ending, just life and two different paths. Fast forward to 2022 and now four kids deep, I decided to get into the cannabis industry and was hired at Feel State as a budtender. On my first day, my boss told me he hired another girl named Jessica and today would be her first day as well, and in walks Jessica to training.
Who would have thought after all these years we would end up at a job together, again? Just like that we were once again glued to the hip. A high idea turned into a FB support page for moms who consume cannabis. As moms ourselves, we know how hard it is to make new friends, especially ones that are like minded and share the same interests. We wanted a place where women, from our area, could come together in a non-judgmental space and talk about anything they would with a best friend. Advise, venting, memes, you name it, we have it.
In three months, we grew to 600+ followers and decided to throw a brunch as a group ice breaker. We couldn’t believe we had so many moms wanting to come to more events and asking when the next event would be after our first one. Since, we have hosted several consumption events for our members. Every event has been a dream so far, with activities to accommodate our growing community of 4K private members. I truly can't tell you which one has been my favorite!" -Kim K
We created this group in hopes to create community and if you ask us, we nailed it. If you would like to support our cause, and get in on the fun, we would greatly appreciate it!-STL Cannamoms Founders, Jessica & Kimberlee
