- Disclaimer: If you are a pregnant and using or have history of success using during pregnancy I'm not arguing with you. What I'm trying to say is the damn government needs to get it's butt in gear and fix this we need REAL science done so we have substantiated facts and not merely anecdotes (and rightly or wrongly even if everyone agreed it doesn't matter until appropriate scientific tests are designed and repeated the govt. has us by the short hairs).
ive said this to many friends the govt. waste money on everything except cannabis,
I would not lot my wife MEDICATE if there was ONE BIT OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE PROVING THAT CANNABIS IN PREGNANCY IS BAD,
VAC PURGE-150$ BUTANE FOR 1LB- anything you say is COMPLETE NONSENSE to me after seeing that...
FADEDOG- 1000 times thank you, Your one of the most intelligent people on this site, IM READING EVERY LINK IN THERE, THANK YOU SIR. thats also on skunkpharmresearch though right, granny storm crows list?
TO THE MOST OF AMERICANS your biased opinion from being brainwashed from america for the last 80 years, IS BIASED, is all i have to say NOT FACTUAL IN ANYWAY, marijuana WAS NEVER KNOWN AS ANYTHING HARMFUL until the 1900's
I personally know of 3 women who used marijuana to cure aliments during pregnancy ( recommended by doctor) and some of the smartest kids I know today..
And as for my child being taken away - america will never control the life of me nor anyone who decides against it, maybe if you live in butt fuck egypt ,but were in a medical state so under state laW and under ca physician and prenatal recommendations i see no laws broken there,,,, AND BTW WE WILL PROBABLY STOP IN ADVANCE TO AVOID DRAMA
FOR THE LOVE OF SIRIUS BEFORE I GET FLAMED ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD NOT TAKE THE RISK, SHOW ME ANY RISK, ANY AT ALL!
NOT A BIASED AMERICAN OPINION, AMERICA IS BARELY 200 YEARS OLD I THINK CANNABIS IS A BIT OLDER AND IM SURE WOMEN HAVE USED IT FOR AGES DURING PREGNANCY..
Remember she only dabs maybe 2 times in a day,and she throws up A MINIMUM OF 5 TIMES a day, she eats 6 times, how the hell is she supposed to hold ANY nutrients down, how is my child supposed to be fed?!?!?! When she medicates she vomits maybe 2-3 times in a day.
seems like the smart thing to do to me, especially when DOCTORS and SCIENTIST support it...
WITH BIASED STATEMENT LIKE THIS HOW DO YOU KNOW WHO TO TRUST, AMERICA BANNED MARIJUANA TO MAKE MONEY END OF STORY
Children of heavy pot users may also have problems with short-term memory, concentration, and judgment. (There's no evidence so far, however, that marijuana use during pregnancy causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]One study even found that young children whose mothers smoked marijuana during pregnancy had a higher risk of LEUKEMIA than those whose mothers did not.[/FONT]
What's more, there's no way to know if the pot you're smoking has been laced with other drugs (such as PCP) or contaminated with pesticides, which would put your baby at even higher risk. And using marijuana increases the chance that your baby will have birth defects if you're also drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.
WHAT THE FUCK LEUKEMIA?!?!?!
HERES TWO COMMENTS FROM THAT WEBSITE THE VERY FIRST TWO
OK I can only go by my own experience and the experience of some of my friends. I am not especially proud of myself for this, but I did continue to smoke weed during both of my pregnancies. More so with my first...I had friends who had smoked while pregnant and their babies came out perfect, so I did not think there was much of a risk. I did quit 3 weeks before the birth of my son, because I didn't want him to be born "stoned" if that makes any sense. He is 6 now and is probably the smartest kid in his class...reading and writing way above his level. He is also the star player on his soccer team. My daughter is also very smart and very mature for her age, 3. My children were both between 7 and 8 pounds and I had to be induced both times...no pre mature labor here. I did not smoke while breastfeeding my son and I did with my daughter and I did not have enough milk for her after 2 months, I had to supplement. I think it does keep from allowing adaquate milk production.

How disappointing. I am a toxicologist, and nothing saddens me more than patronizing "professionals" like Mr. Briggs who present unsubstantiated speculations as facts. It is far too easy in this society to scare women with such misinformation into conforming their lives in a way that matches a conservative (and in my opinion, religious) norm. A woman that wants a baby, wants a healthy baby. And that makes her vulnerable to scare tactics. My message to the Mr. Briggs of the world is to stop patronizing women and admit that it is HIGHLY likely given the generations of people born to women who smoked marijuana (or had a couple beers for pete's sake!) during pregnancy, that this is not a 'drug' worth demonizing. I would like Mr. Briggs to address why drugs such as Zoloft have been given the speedy green light for use in pregnancy when it has a much younger history of use in our society. Perhaps it's because the big drug companies are making billions off of it? It's easier to attack pot.
