A girl from April is asking if it is okay to smoke pot while pregnant.
The fact that she has to ask does not bode well for her child.

I couldn't help myself, I had to comment there.
Re: You guys need to see this
There are actually some studies going on right now about pot and the effectiveness of its use in pregnancy for severe nausea/vomiting. There are a few books out on the subject already, actually. Don't be too quick to pull out the pitch fork.
Pregnancy # 6
4 missed chances
2 loving children
1 on the way
She wasn't talking about it being severe.

my angel babies: 6/10 (chem. pg), 9/10 @ 10 weeks
I've known plenty of ladies who have smoked pot while pregnant and their babies/kids are just fine. If someone wants to take a toke to cure some morning sickness and be able to have an appetite, who am I to judge?

When you are bored on a Sunday night, yup.
I think you gotta live what you preach so I sure hope that those people who are all up in arms over marijuana also never inject KNOWN carcinogens (read:hotdogs containing nitrates). Can't have it both ways - unless you are a hypocrite.
FWIW - I don't smoke marijuana or eat hot dogs. And not just because I am pregnant.
Yes, cause smoking pot while a baby is in you is the same as eating a hot dog. Really? One would think there is a full moon tonight. Or are the bright girls only on during the week?
^ I think that the FDA has proved that it is not to be trusted even more so than "street drugs." Do you not see these commercials: "if your baby was born with spina bifoda, cleft palatte, etc.?" Those problems are caused by FDA APPROVED drugs! I've researched multiple medications my doctor has tried to prescribe me that he has deemed "safe to take during pregnancy" and I guarantee you they're much more dangerous and pose a MUCH higher risk than any amount of marijuana. Marijuana is a plant, grown by God. Don't always believe everything you hear, do the research for yourself. If you do, you'll find many things were told to be fact, are really fiction.

Heroin is from the poppy plant. Cocaine is from the cacao plant. Mushrooms grow in the wild. Peyote is from the cactus.
The overwhelming majority of marijuana grown in this country is loaded with added chemicals. The THC concentration has been genetically modified over the years to enhance the drugs potency.
But, by all means, if it is grown by GOD it must be safe.
I think that's it!

Based on the amount of comments in this post and the linked post by clear newbies to this board I have to wonder what pot smoking group they all came from.
Please tell me how you can GUARANTEE that FDA approved drugs are more dangerous than any amount of marijuana. Please. I'm listening.
You are obviously so uneducated if you are comparing marijuana to heroin and cocaine. Some people, and hopefully a pregnant mother, aren't buying their marijuana off the streets like some teenager looking to have a good time. In that case, of course dealers could put additives or dangerous chemicals into the PLANT. The mothers I know GROW IT THEMSELVES because there are NO CHEMICALS added like in cocaine and heroin. They grow it, pick, and safely smoke it and would you like to know something else? Their children don't come out with 6 legs because they stayed away from "FDA approved" drugs! But go on, continue being a brainwashed ant that lives their life in the glass ant farm believing everything they are told to believe without thinking twice. It's people like you that make me embarassed to be apart of this country. Grow up, get a brain, and do some research.
Do you really believe that because someone doesn't agree with your line of thinking on smoking weed while pregnant that they are a brainwashed ant? Perhaps people do their own research and still come to the conclusion that they don't want to smoke an illegal drug while pregnant.
Based on the fact that you just used the word "newbies" I can deduce that you're not intelligent enough to be posting on threads that require little, if any, thought. Do you know nothing about the birth defects, autism, etc. that are linked with FDA approved vaccinations and prescribed medication? Why do you think the drug administration consists of the wealthiest people in America? Because idiots like you believe that our illnesses and problems can only be cured with man-made CHEMICALS that cause our children to be born with countless birth defects! A staggering 75% of children's mothers born with autism had the Rhogam shot. A shot that I'm sure you know nothing about. And the fact that it only became necessary to recieve the shot in utero in 1984? Think about it. Although I'm sure it'll be a task for you.
Give me a break. Telling a mother who chooses NOT to smoke pot to grow up, get a brain, and do research? How about you put your unborn child before your need to smoke weed and find a better way to deal with morning sickness.

Holy hell are you anti-vax also? You're a winner.

You are quite amusing. Look to your left. See your name? See the word newbie under it? There you go.
Let me guess. You don't vaccinate, right? You probably believe in herd immunity, correct? And the mere fact that you think vaccines or shots of any kind cause autism prove to me that you are in fact a complete idiot.
If you believe so strongly in these words you spew I would love to see some links, especially from unbiased sites.
Obviously smoking pot during pregnancy is a bad idea. Consuming any drug during pregnancy is a bad idea.
However, I wouldn't be so quick to judge. There are FDA approved drugs out there, even that are deemed okay for use during pregnancy, that I would feel much less comfortable consuming right now than THC.
There have been numerous studies, and the only ones to show any negative effects failed to isolate marijuana from alcohol and other drugs. There have been several studies that could not show that marijuana is dangerous to a fetus, and one that even suggests that babies exposed in the womb were less fussy (whether that's a positive thing, I don't know). So anyone who claims that there are no studies and that we have no idea of the effects is misinformed. Furthermore, there is doubtless a significant segment of women in the world who have smoked pot while pregnant but would lie about it in a study or survey, so there are many more people out there who were exposed than we'll ever know.
Obviously, being unable to prove something is harmful is not the same as proving it to be safe. But I think the witch hunt is irrational.
And saying someone should call CPS because a woman asked a question? That's a mighty high horse you're on there.
Ahahahahahaha! The morons have coined a term for people who are smart enough to realize and see the damages vaccines are doing to our children! "Anti-Vax!" This is just too much for me.
Continue to be ignorant, I can see that it's hopeless for you, and unfortunately for the children that will be raised to be exactly like you. I pity you, but I can't read anymore. I feel myself becoming less intelligent by the second from reading the stupidity you spew from your mouths.
Again, until you can post some unbiased links I am having a hard time taking anything you say seriously.

I love drama every once in a while. It keeps me entertained while on bed rest.

I feel bad for your H! I feel bad for your kids!
But, for serious, are you for real, Cloudy?
Indeed.
Seriously, where does her vitriol come from? I wonder what her freak out will be like when she catches her kid with pot in 15 years.
I'm definitely guilty of this too! Never would have creeped into this post otherwise!!
on second thought...
lololol
