Why THC Seltzers Are the New Mom Wine

Why THC Seltzers Are the New Mom Wine

Because Mom deserves more than just a buzz.

You’ve reheated your coffee three times. The house looks like a tornado hit a toy store. And it’s only 10:30 AM.

Modern motherhood is no joke—whether you’re wrangling toddlers, navigating the chaos of carpool schedules, or just trying to finish that damn cup of coffee while it’s still warm, you deserve a break.

Traditionally, that break came in the form of a generous pour of wine at the end of a long day. But more and more moms are putting down the Pinot and picking up something a little… greener.

Welcome to the era of the 🌿The Gardening Mom🍃—a vibe, a lifestyle, a movement.

And no—we’re not talking about pruning rose bushes. In modern mom-speak, “gardening” is a wink to cannabis use—a clever, discreet way to say you’re choosing a more mindful way to unwind.

Her drink of choice? Cycling Frog’s THC + CBD seltzers.

From Wine O’Clock to Weed O’Clock

You’ve seen the memes: “It’s wine o’clock somewhere,” “Mommy juice,” or the ever-popular “Rosé all day.” The wine mom era brought us a shorthand for women needing a break—and owning it.

But let’s be real: alcohol doesn’t always do us any favors. The hangovers are real. The bloating is brutal. And despite the buzz, it doesn’t exactly leave you more relaxed the next morning.

Cycling Frog THC + CBD seltzers offer a fast-acting, low-calorie, and all-natural alternative to alcohol, with zero next-day regrets. With just the right blend of Delta-9 THC and CBD, our seltzers are designed to help you feel mellow, present, and genuinely relaxed.

Don't just take it from us, the above photo of our Lemon Light THC Seltzer was snapped by our customer Bridget B. from NY, who calls these "Mommy’s little helper" 😉

We call it elevated parenting—minus the hangover.

Moms Who Elevate: From Taboo to Totally Normal

Not long ago, a mom lighting up was scandalous. Nancy Botwin from Weeds may have been fictional, but she lit the way for a new generation of cannabis-curious moms. Back then, she was sneaking joints between soccer practice and suburban drug deals. Now? Moms are getting elevated without sparking up, in the form of fruit-forward seltzers in hand.

Our customer Jessica P (pictured above) puts it perfectly:

"As a mom of three kids 5 and under I was looking for something that took the edge off at the end of the day but didn’t leave me feeling groggy or hung over the following morning (everyone knows kids don’t give a shit when you’re hung over). These did the trick for sure. one drink and I was relaxed during the long, annoying, never ending nighttime routine and woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed the following morning. Cannot recommend these drinks enough to other cool ass moms."

From Frankie on Grace and Frankie making DIY CBD salves to influencers sharing infused mocktail recipes on Instagram, the “weed mom” image has evolved. No longer a punchline, she’s a presence: visible, empowered, and in control of her well-being.

Real-world weed moms like Whoopie Goldberg, Martha Stewart, and Lizzie Post have helped move the conversation from taboo to totally normalized—emphasizing intentional, informed use over outdated stereotypes.

Why These Real-Life Gardening Moms Choose Cycling Frog

Modern moms are proudly redefining what relaxation looks like—and sharing it with their communities.

Moms like Katie (@soberishmom) are helping redefine what “relaxing responsibly” looks like. As she puts it:

“There’s still stigma around moms who garden vs. drink wine—but for me, it’s a much healthier alternative. I absolutely love @cyclingfrogcbd seltzers—the Wild Cherry and Black Currant flavors are incredible, and I always sleep amazing after just a small glass.”

 

For Samantha (@samantha_nels0n), it’s all about winding down after a chaotic day with her boys:

“Whether I’m sipping on a seltzer or tossing back a few gummies, it always helps me unwind. Blue Razz gummies and Wild Cherry seltzer? Chef’s kiss.”

 

And Sammy, (@sammyinmomlife) sums up the Cycling Frog experience perfectly in her skit above: “Welcome to Club Cycling Frog. Where the vibes are high and the stress is low.”

These moms are gardening differently—and helping others feel seen, supported, and a little more sane in the process.
