"Any form of smoking can disrupt the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus, which can result in restrictions in the growth of the fetus (including overall length, foot length, head size and body weight), and in rare cases premature birth, miscarriage and stillbirth."
"There is some evidence that women who use marijuana during pregnancy are more likely to give birth to babies with lower birth weight, delayed commencement of breathing, an increase in features similar to those found in foetal alcohol syndrome, exaggerated startle response, tremors, poorer eye-sight, poorer ability to adapt to new aspects of the environment, and a "hole in the heart" (ventricular septal defect).Other studies have found that in the first six months of life, babies who have been exposed to marijuana in utero are also at greater risk of developing asthma, chest infections, and other breathing problems such as wheezing.
Research suggests that, at ages three to four years, children of mothers who used marijuana while pregnant have poorer verbal, memory and reasoning ability; poorer motor skills and shorter length of play; and are more likely to be fearful, impulsive, inattentive, hyperactive and delinquent. These difficulties appear to persist to age 10 years, when they may be accompanied by increased depression and anxiety, along with reading and spelling problems and general underachievement at school. Such deficits may also continue into adolescence and early adulthood, along with an increased risk for initiation of tobacco and marijuana use.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I really dont give a fuck about any of this. sounds like youre one of those idiots who has himself convinced that pot is 100% absolutely safe and healthy no matter how much you do it and how you smoke it, when we all know its not. smoking is smoking, as much as I hate to admit it, pot isnt GOOD for you. there IS some negative effects to it as much as you dont want to admit it.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]taking a risk of having a retarded born baby just because you cant quit for 9 months is fucking pathetic. its people like her that cant quit for 9 months that gives the media fuel for their "weed is addictive" fire. I got arrested one day and a potential trafficking charge, small stuff, it was enough to make me quit cold turkey for a year. if getting pregnant isnt enough to make you quit, she needs to get her fuckin head checked. if you think its harmless, go get a girl pregnant and feed her BHO all day every day for 9 months and enjoy looking after a [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]mentally[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] retarded baby for the next 50 years, then tell me it doesnt effect the baby.

doesnt matter if it does or doesnt hurt the baby, dont take the risk ya fucking moron. the current generation is already so fucking stupid and lazy, thats the last thing we need is more retarded babies because mommy couldnt stop smoking BHO made from cheap junk chinese products for 9 measly fucking months.
