Re: Controversial topic/question
But, medical marijuana is still marijuana in some sense. During pregnancy, no thanks.

I have no issues w/med marijuana OR rec use of it. Legalize it, ya'll!
However, I do not partake - I just never really liked it. Trust me, I've TRIED to like it. I prefer my booze.
I would be less angry if I found out DD tried pot than alcohol, only because alcoholism runs in my family and I've had issues with binge drinking, so pot scares me less.
I don't see any issues to use it for nausea relief in pregnancy - it's not like you would need to be hitting a bong 12 times a day. There's a huge difference with taking a few bowl hits in the AM or smoking allllll day long.
I know some close friends and some acquaintances using pot for ms - including a girl who is an OBGYN RN.
I haven't seen any negative side effects personally in my life.

Not for me, but I am also of the non-lunch meat eating, caffeine avoiding camp. I don't even take tylenol or any of the other "approved" meds unless they are absolutely necessary (for example, a migraine). I am also totally afraid of anything that hasn't had years and years of pregnant women taking it without any proven problems, so something like marijuana, no.
Now, in general, I am all for medical marijuana and even legalized recreational marijuana.

I honestly don't know enough about it and long term effect on mom/baby during pregnancy to form an educated opinion about it. For that reason I wouldn't use it personally, but I'd also like to think if someone else was using it they did their research and the benes outweighed the risks.
Drugs like Marinol are made from synthetic cannabinoids, not from the plant itself. It's created in a lab.
