How Did You Manage Cannabis Use After Becoming a Dad?

Hi, I’ve posted before and appreciated the feedback. This time I have a new issue: I’m a heavy cannabis user who has sharply reduced consumption since my wife announced her pregnancy. As the due date approaches, I want to stay fully present as a father. Did you quit somking completely? Did you transition to cartridges or concentrates? When and where did you smoke? How did you make sure it didn’t interfere with your parenting?

I quit smoking when obligations arrived. Smoking felt immature; I preferred the clear‑headedness of being sober, unlike my carefree 18‑year‑old self. In short, I grew up.

It took a few years, but I'm weed‑free now over five years. My faith in Christ rescued me from an extreme weed habit.

It really depends on each of us. I don’t smoke, but I do enjoy an edible now and then, usually after the kids are in bed and we’ve cleared our schedule for the day.
My wife stopped smoking completely and only recently, about a year and a half after our last child, started using edibles again again, only after the kids are asleep or staying over at grandma’s.

I find it so important to be fully present and available while the kids are up and running around.
