Let's Cast the Inevitable Movie Adaptation of Smokin' Pot Mamas

Considering there's going to be an ensemble film adaptation of What to Expect When You're Expecting, the chances are good that some Hollywood executive has already purchased the film rights to the trend piece in the New York Post on Wednesday about marijuana smoking mothers. Sorry: "Smokin' Pot Mamas," as the piece is titled. Yes, this is apparently a thing -- and yes, this sounds like a Hollywood comedy waiting to happen. In an effort to help the process along -- and to not bogart creative ideas -- Movieline has cast the inevitable film adaptation of Smokin' Hot Mamas with a cadre of big Hollywood stars. Fire one up, and click ahead for a look.

Drew Barrymore as "Erica"

Described as a 33-year-old mother of one, who isn't a fan of getting plastered. "Some moms are drinking very early in the day, starting around 4," she said to the Post. "I would rather smoke a bowl, take the edge off and go about my day. When you're smoking, you're on a different level. Things don't frustrate you as much."

Cameron Diaz as "Jennifer"

Described as a 30-something Brooklyn mother shy about her drug use, but happy because it puts her on an enlightened level. "I've never talked about it with my new-mom friends. I would never. I feel like the mom community is so judgmental. I would never broach that topic with anybody. I'm private about it," she said. "I have had moments where I felt like I could communicate with him better, back when he wasn't talking -- we'd have a silent, eye-contact kind of conversation."

Jennifer Aniston as April Garland

A 40-year-old mother who, unlike her peers, isn't afraid to use her real name in the piece. "Wine drinking is fun, but you tend to lose more inhibitions. People also tend to get more aggressive when they're drinking."

Mary-Louise Parker as "Nancy"

Described as a Park Slope-based mother who likes that pot makes her happier about having two boys. "Marijuana has aspects of euphoria and relaxation. It can help you look at your kids in a more positive light." (This one is kinda obvious, if only because Parker plays "Nancy Botwin" on Weeds, a mother of two boys.)

Catherine Keener as Sarah Via

The 50-year-old founder of Moms for Marijuana, an actual group. "There are an awful lot of moms I know of who smoke. I would never personally advocate that someone smoke in front of their young children, but I definitely think there are so many pluses, as far as stress [relief]."

Alec Baldwin as Dr. Howard Samuels

The CEO of the Hills Treatment Center in Los Angeles, Samuels is portrayed as a villain in the piece. "I'm shocked that any parent would ever say that smoking pot while they're playing with their kids is a healthy thing. It makes me sick to my stomach. Are they retarded emotionally?"

Woody Harrelson as Chris Goldstein

The executive director of the New Jersey branch of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) -- neither villain nor hero here, but more of a pragmatist. "I think mothers are getting a little more attuned to the self-medicating aspect [of pot]. People can enjoy it in both capacities -- they can enjoy the same bag of marijuana as recreation, but they can also medicate with it."

Garry Marshall directs. Obviously.
