So. Much. Pot.

BiggerinRealLife · September 2013

So I went to the Tegan and Sara/FUN. concert last night. Which was epic, thank you for asking. Front of the pit. Because I'm awesome! (Cue Barney Stinson voice.) Anyway, I've been to shows at the Greek Theater before but didn't think about all the pot that tends to be smoked at this venue. Last night was no exception, and the smoke seemed to be worse than ever. Aside from making me sneeze a ton (I'm allergic to pot smoke) I couldn't get away from the smell and pretty sure I breathed a bit in. Not enough to feel anything, but still. Even though it's after the fact, I'm wondering: how stupid was it to go to that concert? I'm still coughing this morning trying to clear out my lungs.

Okay, your story just cracked me up. lol. I think you need to do what you want to do every once in awhile, and since they say even a little bit of alcohol is okay on occasion, I wouldn't worry about the THC you breathed in. I would maybe avoid the pot from now on, but a little bit on accident never hurt anyone. lol. I am glad you had such a good time!

Not stupid at all!! Glad you had fun! I honestly don't think one night of second hand pot smoke will have ANY effect on you or your wee one. Don't sweat it sister!

I wouldn't worry. You can't control every environment you put yourself in. Your lungs were filtering the smoke so it didn't get to your baby. I doubt that one night will do any damage.

I'd be more worried about the actual smoke than the THC. But yeah, probably a good reminder to everyone to avoid concerts where this is likely to be an issues.

@Pehrie Haha screw morning after guilt. I regret nothing.

....we'll just call it giving the baby some culture.

All my prenatal visits, plus all the pre-prenatal form filling out and blood testing and hazing and whatnot appointments are at my local Kaiser clinic, which is next to an 8 lane highway. Every time I go, I have to take the light rail. So, that means on the way there and on the way back, I have to walk over the highway, breathing in all 8 lanes worth of LA exhaust.

I figure, if my OB thinks that's ok, then a little second hand pot smoke once is probably fine too.

(I went through this whole thought process last night at an Animal Collective show which seems to have had the same general aroma as your T&S show...)

@snappyK I will happily benefit from your well thought-out logic.

Yea, rocker moms!

AcaAwkward · September 2013

Would not worry about it a lick!

Don't even worry!

Tegan and Sara are so awesome.

BiggerinRealLife · September 2013

@linzerd OHMIGOSH I know!!! And tiny! I want to put them in my pocket.

Lol, this made me laugh really hard

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it at all. The concert sounds awesome - glad you had a fun night out!

I went through this same thing at a Jason mraz concert!! I am already not a fan of the smell of pot but smelling it pregnant was not fun. I wasn't too worried about it I am more worried about my a hole friends who smoke regular cigs around me (most of whom are moms as well!!)

A lot of people smoke pot when they are pregnant and everything is usually fine...however I don't feel it is worth the risk. I'm sure breathing in a little second hand is completely fine. My mom called me yesterday and said I should go to a medical marijuana dispensary and get pot candy to help with my nausea...I was like what the hell mom, no! Haha!

I went to the DMB concert at Lake Tahoe Wednesday night and was more bothered by the cigarette smoke than the pot smoke. The cigarette smoke made my stomach churn while the pot smoke just made me occasionally worry about smelling like pot at work the next day (I teach middle school - those kiddos can definitely sniff that stuff out!).
