Pregnant and Smoking. Anyone Else?

[1990sHippie]

Hey stoners! I'm 19 years old, been smoking for about three years. I am about two months pregnant and while I'm cutting back, I will continue to smoke. All of the studies can kiss my ass...I know from personal experience. My mother is 41 and she has been smoking since she was 13 (including while she was pregnant with me and with my brother). We were both healthy happy babies. I learned very fast...talking at 8mths, reading and spelling at 2 or 3. Writing, Math, and General Science at 4. I skipped 1st and 2nd grade, starting 3rd grade at 6 years old. I graduated 3rd in my class of 400 when I was 15. My brother could be called a super jock and he holds his own in academics too. I'm not trying to brag or anything, but the point to all this is: As long as you take very good care of yourself during pregnancy, getting high will not affect the baby. At worst he/she will become a pot head later in life...and that's not all that bad considering all the people that turn into criminals, rapists, and serial killers! So, smoke on Hippie Moms!

[haha]

Graduated high school at age 15? That's early.

What are you up to nowadays?

[Lily420]

My mom smoked cigs when she was pregnant with me...i came out fucked up lol naw i dont see why you cant smoke weed while pregant. It'd be fine if you smoked maybe twice a month.

[somebody someone]

that babies probs paranoid as fuck tho!

[ScarlettCrush]

There is an article in the June/July Cannabis Culture called Cannababies that you really should read. I dom't have time to go look it up right now but apparently in moderation it is ok, though midwives recommend using a vap. because smoke deprives the baby (and you) of oxygen. There is also something about smoking the last month of your pregnancy, I can't remember if they said it caused you to go into labor, or it stopped your labor, but you should check that out before month 9.
Good Luck, and congratulations!

[rastabill89]

yea i wouldnt smoke alot of weed though

[dooman]

well go to cannabisculture.com they have a featured article on why smoknig marijuana while pregnant may be healthy and helps labour

[peacenotprofit]

13) Don't children born to pot-smoking mothers suffer from
``Fetal Marijuana Syndrome?''

If a fetal cannabis syndrome exists, cases are so rare
that it cannot be demonstrated. Many mothers use marijuana
during pregnancy -- it controls the nausea called `morning
sickness' and many say it actually increases the appetite
and reduces stress. This is especially important in less
developed countries, where modern medical care is not as
easily available, but even so, the benefits of responsible
marijuana use may outweigh the risks even under modern
medicine.

Studies conducted in Jamiaca have shown that mothers who
smoke marijuana have healthier children, but this may be due
to the extra income generated by marijuana dealing and other
factors. It has been a common ploy in the War on Drugs to
claim that marijuana, and especially cocaine, causes birth
defects or behavior problems like alcohol does. This scares
caring mothers into thinking drugs are `evil.' The claims
are not based on valid scientific research -- many of them
do not even consider the life-style or living conditions of
the mothers before pointing at drugs with the blame.

Obviously, pregnant mothers should not smoke as much pot as
they possibly can. If marijuana is abused, it may hurt the
health of both mother and child. Delta-9-THC does cross the
placenta and enter the fetus. Oddly, though, the marijuana
metabolite, 11-nor-9-carboxy-delta-9-THC does not, and the
fetus does not break delta-9-THC down into 11-nor like the
mother's body does, so unborn children are not exposed to
11-nor. The third trimester is the time when the child is
most vulnerable. Parents should bear these facts in mind
when they make decisions about using cannabis.

i had a friend who got pregnant and asked the same question, this is what i found on the FAQ part of this site. good luck and congrats! :)

[The Piper]

yeah just dont smoke 2 much

[1990sHippie]

I'm halfway through veterinary school, but I'm taking this year off...maybe the next too. I'm married and my husband has a good job, so I'm not in any hurry...I wanna be home when the baby gets here.

use a vaporizer, or just making brownies or something and eat them.

[1990sHippie]

Thanks for all of the support guys!

[Nochowderforyou]

Ya, I too reccomend a vaporizor. I know if I'm smoking some really nice weed, I cough like a bitch sometimes. If that hurts me, imagine how the baby would feel (you know, if I was a chick). Do it in moderation, no cigs either!! Don't you dare smoke cigs girl, or I'll slap you! :D

[TallulahGreen]

You are in the same boat as my best friend...she is 19...and a huugee stoner..and about a month pregnant..

..she called me the other night asking my opinion on smoking while pregnant.

I have 2 friends that smoked while pregnant and their babies are fine. The only studies linked to it really at this point are that it can cause depression..and like...symptoms we all have. I dunno..research it yo.

[LilRedDevil]

Some other problems it can cause are, low birth rate, and of course the baby can become "hard to sooth" after birth, as they crave the drug. I have some midwife training and have two kids, I have found information to support both sides, so the choice has to be yours.

I myself think it would be far better for people on anti depresents when preg, I had concerns though when I was Preg. with my last so I stopped.

Good luck! And CONGRATS on your growing family :)

[Canadabis]

My mom smoked, and im tall,lean, intelligent and good looking.
But then again smoking is bad for anyone, let alone someone pregnant, but then again your not the one whos gonna reap the rewards of the harvest your sowing.
Only thing better in a bisque then lobster is flipper baby!
Im not judging, cause I dont care. :p

[DonnieDarko]

My advice is to remove all doubt of any "potential" problems, and just not smoke for 9 months (or longer if you are concerned about breast feeding). Bringing a child into the world is probably the most important thing that you can do, and worth the very small sacrifice of going smokeless.

And I recommend that your hubby make the sacrifice with you.

[Ganj]

that babies probs paranoid as fuck tho!


that's funny. the baby will come out like stewey, paranoid about the man in the white coat.

I agree. All these anecdotes about moms smoking while they're pregnant and having kids just turn out fine remind me of cigarette smokers who say that their parents and friends smoked two packs a day and lived to be 100. Of course many babies will turn out fine and many cigarette smokers wont get cancer, but do you want to chance it?

[Fengzi]

Not to be judgmental but I'd agree with the others who advise against smoking during pregnancy or breast feeding. When my wife was pregnant I read a book called "What's Going On in There" about child development from conception on. There's so much going on, especially during the early development, and a lot can go astray. Even if the chances of a problem are small why risk it?

[1990sHippie]

I respect all of your opinions. However, I absolutely believe that birth defects and any other developmental problem a child can have are brought on by things other than weed. Most babies that die or people who have drug related miscarrages are on much harder shit than marijuana. How you take care of yourself while your pregnant will have a much larger affect on the baby than any amount of weed you smoke.

[1990sHippie]

Also, I don't plan to breastfeed. I do know that breastmilk contains concentrated THC, but no concentated THC passes through the placenta while pregnant...my gyno told me that.

[kevy cola]

I can't in any way beleive smoking weed during pregnancy can have any positive effects on you're unborn chilld. I think smoking, drinking or doing any other ellicit drugs during pregnancy is really stupid and irresponsible thing to do
*thumbs down*

[Hydrizzle]

*thumbs down*


thats right, think of yourself, not the human being growing inside of u. Great!!!!! thanks for sharing!!!

[WeBB15]

I agree with keva and Hyd....

Nothing positive will come out of doing it but if you wanna be selfish and get high while youre pregnant since babies arent that important, theyre just innocent human beings forced to get high by a lady who doesnt want to quit because it "does no harm"... GO FOR IT!

Pregnancy and Pot
by "Dr Kate" (01 Sept, 1998)

Cannabis can be a special friend to pregnant women in times of need


photo by Lincoln Clarkes
In the 5 years I have been practising as a midwife, many women have asked my advice on how to have the best possible pregnancy, labour and birth.

Common-sense tells the intelligent lady the answer: drink lots of clean water, eat plenty of fresh, nutritious food, get regular exercise, and keep calm, balanced, and centered. These conditions provide the ideal environment for the growth of a beautiful child, and contribute to an excellent chance for a natural, healthy birth.

Most women know they should avoid drugs in general, as well as additives, chemicals, cleaners, etc. But what about pot? Where does the marijuana herb fit in to pregnancy?

Pot can be safely used during pregnancy, and can help with several of the discomforts/problems associated therewith â?? a fact little known by the medical community, and even much of the herbalist community.

Pot for nausea

Many women find out they are pregnant when they start to throw up in the morning, or any time at all. The nausea invades and takes over so completely, that some women give in to it, and are not able to eat or drink anything at all. In extreme cases they are put on intravenous feeding for the duration of their pregnancies.

Other women turn to drugs to quell the waves of nausea that threaten them constantly during the first months, or even the whole nine! With nausea that bad, anything is worth a try. That is how the thalidomide disaster happened â?? it was touted as an anti-nausea drug, pregnant women scooped it up and then had deformed babies as a result.

Instead of dangerous pharmaceuticals, surely it is worth trying a natural herb that has never harmed anyone. From the reports of my clients, friends, and contacts on the internet, using marijuana has helped women with severe morning-sickness to overcome the terrible problem. In fact, I have not heard of anyone who has tried it say that it has not worked for them.

Cannabis the balance bringer

The many different active ingredients contained in the cannabis plant work together to put the female reproductive system in sync with the other glands and organs of the body. This is defined in the herbal textbooks as a "female corrective â?? an emmenogogue herb". These types of herbs are special friends to women, because they bring the feminine reproductive system into the correct balance, which definitely helps her pregnancy, and state of mind in general.

Ladies who are out of sync have lots of emotional upsets too, because the hormones are battling instead of complimenting one another. Just a couple of puffs of cannabis, and those emotions are under control, the mother-to-be happy and smiling.

Food & Love

Pregnant women need to eat quite often to feed their babies. Most women these days do not eat enough food, and that is the biggest cause of low birth weight babies. Many infants are malnourished in the womb, as their mothers are busy, fearful of gaining weight, and not knowledgable about nutrition and its importance to their growing babe. Stopping to take a few puffs, relax, and have a snack is one of the best things they can do, as long as the snack is fruits and veggies and whole grains, not twinkies and big macs.

Cannabis can help to take the focus off of the outside world and place it right in the centre of what's going on in the body now. This means that the sensitivity to every little flutter and kick can be even more intense, the connection to what's going on with the baby more aware and in tune.

Cannabis is also a great help to the expectant couple, to keep them bonded and lighten some moments that might otherwise be stressful and strain their relationship. I suggest that if they are drifting into an argument, tired, or cranky with aching muscles: just have a few puffs together, rub each other out (body massage) get some yummy aromatherapy going, have some good sex, then a good night's sleep. Everyone will feel better in the morning, guaranteed.

A smoking labour?

Many clients, friends and neighbors have called or written to ask about using pot in labour â?? good idea or bad?

The truth is: usually bad. Labour is like running a marathon â?? you need all your physical resources, plus the ones you never knew you had. Most of you know that pot is not something that enhances performance where physical exertion is demanded. This is also the case with labour.

The other important reason not to indulge while in labour is that getting high intensifies the sensations felt by the body. If those sensations are painful and too much cannabis is taken, the contractions can become so intensified that the woman is almost overwhelmed by the pain, shaking and trembling. I've seen it happen.

On the other hand, there is a situation during labour that cannabis helps. Here's how:
The way to help labour go smoothly is to stay relaxed and keep the energy level up with easily utilized foods and drink.

Yet there is a certain type of woman who is anything but relaxed, and as labour progresses, instead of "getting into her body", she almost leaves it, or wishes she could. She stalls her labour, not allowing it to happen to her on a subconcious level. It's a self-defense mechanism: labor hurts, so she's not going to let it happen.

This type of refusal to go-with-the-flow can often be cured instantly and miraculously by just one puff of quality pot. Only a small amount is needed to make the mind-body connection, and no more. In tincture form take three to five drops under the tongue. The lady does not get too high and tired, but gets into her body and its task, enabling her to work with it to affect the birth of her child.

An admission of harmlessness

Marijuana has many uses, and is a special friend to women in their times of need. Used carefully and properly, this good herb is a blessing, and nothing to fear at all.

In the 1983 medical textbook Handbook of Maternal Newborn Nursing the "drugs of abuse during pregnancy" are listed, with the complications they cause. Next to cannabis, it says: "None known". Small print, but yet another admission of harmlessness.

We knew it already, didn't we?

Joint, Tea or Tincture?

Marijuana can be smoked, eaten, or taken in tincture form. The quickest acting is the smoked, often with only a couple of puffs necessary to ease pain or quell nausea. Tincture enters the blood stream from the many blood vessels in and around the stomach, so it is quite quick, but less immediate than smoking. Eating a brownie takes the longest to come into full bloom, but should last longer too.

A drawback to eating is the tendency to get too stoned, because the brownies or whatever are so yummy that you can't eat just one. Next thing you know, colours are melting, husband talking in numbers...



This is an article from cannabisculture.com. As you can tell, I am making my decision based on qualified research. Not based on lies told to our society about marijuana.

This is an article from cannabisculture.com. As you can tell, I am making my decision based on qualified research. Not based on lies told to our society about marijuana.

I personally think you are making your decision based on your own immediate wants and desires and found an article from a hippy midwife to support your foolish, self-centered decision.

The fact is YOU DONT KNOW FOR CERTAIN. This hippy midwife DOESN'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN. You are gambling with your child's future (since nobody knows for certain the dangers of smoking) and justifying yourself to ease your own mind for getting your fix during your pregnancy.

I personally believe your baby will probably be healthy even if you indulge yourself and forgo your self-control because you need to be stoned so badly. But I dont believe you are mature, responsible, or selfless. Based on the decision you have divulged to us, it does make me wonder about your ability to be a good mother, because it doesn't seem as though you have the maturity or good sense to put your child's best interests first. I understand you're 19 and in the "ME!" years, but you're pregnant, so I hate to break it to ya, but you forfeited the right to be selfish when you decided to become a mother.
Anyway, good luck to you and your child with whichever decision you make.

Awesome post. :)

[BlueCat]

Maybe this baby's mama smoked weed.....

http://www.holylemon.com/StrangeBaby.html

JK :D

[mellow mood]

my mom smoked loads of crack when she was pregant of me and now im more fucked up than ever! yea!






























lol jk. my mom didnt smoke at all and im super intelligent. i think it doesnt make a big diff if u smoke or not

[Edgar]

I'd just like to point out that we "dont know for certain" about alot of the drugs that are given to pregnant women.

I for one had a mom that was totally clean and i still turned out weird. =P

But uhh, yeah to be on the safe side, you prolly shouldn't smoke, or do any drug that you dont absolutely have to. (That includes antidepressants, as they are far less safe than cannabis.)

[Satovan]

Why is everyone saying she can't quit smoking during pregnancy because "she just needs to get stoned that badly". You're not really looking in to what she said, she is talking about using marijuana to help her during her pregnancy. Not to get fucked up and listen to Floyd.

[Ousted]

Not to come off as harsh but did you even read her post starting the thread? It doesn't sound at all like she is intending to smoke to help ease unpleasant symptoms during her pregnancy - that was just an extra bonus she discovered in that article she posted later. She very much sounded like she intends to use recreationally.

The post starting this thread was very much like "Fuck what people say, fuck research, Im gonna do what I want! My mom did it while pregnant with me and see! I'm not retarded!" While then proceeding to provide us with pointless examples and accomplishments which prove nothing other than she isn't thinking too deeply about this. But it does open the argument that maybe she could have been a brain surgeon had her mother not been sucking on the peace pipe during her pregnancy - which is about as factual as the things she was attempting to pass off as convincing arguments.

If she decides to smoke, fine. But dont try to convince others and yourself that it is harmless because your 19 years of "experience" tells you so. I just would hate to see her baby end up with problems because she continually convinced herself that smoking is perfectly safe with arguments that are pure nonsense.

[Zero Revolt]

It's not my baby is it? LOL

[Hydrizzle]

ousted, u hit the nail on the head! great post man! U get a bigass cookie for that!

Exactly what I was gonna say. Even though i AM a stoner, I realize that marijuana publications are full of shit for the most part.

Face it, it's probably not good to inhale the smoke of burning plants, be it Marijuana or oak leaves! More proof that having a baby at 19 is a baaaaad idea. Why can't people be more careful? Ya know it's an actual human being you are brining into the world. Not a little puppy or toy.

The party stops when you get pregnant.

[papaw]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but regardless of whether or not marijuana hurts an unborn child, your doctors and the police are not going to be very pleased at all if it shows up in your system while you're pregnant. People lose their children very frequently over positive drug screens, so if you love your child, then think of it before yourself. Hope the pregnancy goes well, but do not do any drugs while pregnant. Jesus, maybe I'm getting old but it seems like just a minimal amount of common sense would tell you that.

[Cheery Cherry]

I know I have posted my opinion on this somewhere, before...so I don't want to repeat myself and besides, I think DonnieDarko and Ousted said it best!!!

This is a very good point. I personally know someone that had her kids taken away because she smoked weed. Of course it was her chickenshit husband that turned her in but the point is he got the kids becuase he did not smoke weed. He was a drunken bastard but that's ok under the law. :rolleyes:

[ArtRollins]

though midwives recommend using a vap. because smoke deprives the baby (and you) of oxygen. There is also something about smoking the last month of your pregnancy, I can't remember if they said it caused you to go into labor, or it stopped your labor, but you should check that out before month 9.
Good Luck, and congratulations!

Good advice. More so would be the carbon dioxide from the actual smoke. You know that is there too? You would not be sucking the tailpipe of a car during preggers right? So, vaporizers are the thing. They are sweet and right to the point. You will LOVE it. Even in moderation you will love it.

My suggestion is the Vrip. If you dont have the money get Eagle Bills, it actually works if your careful. Best of luck!

That is an excellent point, papaw. A point I really should have remembered considering one of my best friends actually had her baby at home with a midwife once she found out they test newborns blood for any drugs and things when born at the hosp. (a beautiful and extremely smart child, too, if anyone is curious, lol.)

[carmzilla]

i question taking any mood altering drug (prescription or not) while pregnant. imo i don't think the baby is fine while smoking decreases oxygen levels in mom and baby. just take a break and look at it as a maternity leave ;)

[1990sHippie]

Well, I didn't mean to start the debate of the century. For your information Hydrizzle, this is a PLANNED pregnancy, I want to have my children early because I don't want to be a sixty year old geezer trying to raise teens...

Also, thank you to everyone who suggested the vaporizers. I've smoked out of them before, and they are awesome! I have sent my husband to the headshop to find me one.

Ousted, it's funny that you think you know what is going on during my pregnancy, you are right, when I started this thread, I planned to smoke recreationally. (By cutting down, I mean once, maybe twice a week.) This was BEFORE morning sickness, which let me tell you, is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced! Puking from 3am to 9pm is really not a fun thing. I also couldn't keep any food or water down for even 30 minutes! Several of my friends, yes, my mom included, said that one or two puffs is all it takes to make it go away, and of course is an appetite booster. So THEN, I did some research and found my "hippie midwife" comments. Maybe you should do some research...That is by far not the only person in the world who thinks it is a good idea.

Yes, it does work, I can eat now and if I start to feel like I might throw up, one hit is all it takes. I'm not sitting around getting stoned out of my mind day and night! I do care about my baby! But really, honestly, there is NO conclusive research that says it will hurt the baby!

I am taking excellent care of myself AND my unborn child! I'm not here to argue, just to get my two-cents out about this. I wouldn't do anything to cause problems for my child...I simply refuse to bend to the rules of a society more worried about a herb out of the ground than alcohol, which is much worse for people and unborn children, and is LEGAL. There is definitley something fucked up about that!

[dokowitz4carbowski]

Personally i think expectant mothers shouldn't smoke weed or cigs. Smoking is a personal choice and your baby doesnt have a choice if you smoke it. its not good for it, sorry.

[Ousted]

Trust me, kid, I've done research on everything related cannabis for many many years now, so dont try to act like you're well read because you did a little research after getting morning sickness. I know the arguments. You think anything that hippy midwife said was news to any of us smokers who've been smoking for 10+ years? Hell, even the smokers who are relatively new to smoking are just as interested in the subject of cannabis as you are, so Im sure they know the arguments as well. However you have to look at everything objectively and question everything! You can't just have a self-centered opinion, find an article or 2 that supports what you want to do, and feel as though you are educated on the subject or that you must be right because you discovered other people that agree with you. I could probably go online right now and find numerous articles and sites that support child pornography, molestation, incestuous relationships, and have every reason in the book why its okay to indulge in that kind of lifestyle/behavior. People do believe what they want to believe, so you have to look at everything you read everywhere objectively, and not take what you want to hear as FACT.

And like I said previously I personally dont believe any real harm can come from smoking pot while pregnant, but it's real dumb to boast "it is" harmless with absolutely no real basis or real education, and then puff away seemingly unwilling to view the situation any differently than you are. You have a baby growing inside of you, so being bratty at this time in your life is quite unbecoming to others.

If you dont speak in absolutes then you probably won't encounter replies such as the one's you have either here or in RL. Just sayin'.

Anyway, good luck with it.

[o2bn420]

My 2 cents: Try getting wristbands for motion sickness, I swear they work. It seems to me that you are conflicted with this or you wouldn't post it to begin with. Although your baby might appear fine at birth, symptoms such as learning disabilities, autism, coordination problems may not appear until much later. Please reconsider.

[kobeite]

You're 19 years old and I remember at that age I was pretty selfish too. I've been pregnant twice and both times I was so tempted to smoke but I quit for the duration of my pregnancy plus the breastfeeding stage. Do you honestly think it's okay and right to be getting high while your beautiful baby is growing inside of you? You should seriously consider otherwise. 9 months to go without bud is not that long.

[misty116]

i dont KNOW one way or the other but it would seem that if you were completely not worried about harming your baby that u wouldnt have posted the thread.
Seeing as its only 9 months, and i quit for 5 just for an important job interview, i would have gone 'safe than sorry....
just my opinion, ignore if u want. ;)

[ADaisyChain]

"Listen 19 year old pregnant girl. I was once 19 so I know your exact situation, as well as whats going on inside your head. I've also been pregnant. Don't smoke pot it ruinz babiez."

linx.2.literature.now.plx

[lostinTO]

The majority of mature women (and I stress mature) - whatever their vices, be it cigarettes, alchohol, whatever at least try and most succeed in giving up their habit for the duration of the pregnancy and longer if they are breast feeding. I'm not sure if you planned this baby, but whether or not you did or didn't, it's your responsibility to ensure the best health possible - forget the pro-weed information - I think you are just looking for an excuse to continue smoking. We can all find propaganda to support our habits if we look hard enough.
I think that if you can't give it up for 9 months - you may have more serious issues - it's called "addiction".

[Smokey McPot]

dont smoke while pregnant. thats horrible.

[NowhereMan]

everyone is different
getting your baby high is fucking crime literally

imagine being stoned as a fetus,what kinda shit is that to do to your baby

if your such a fucking junky that you would risk your childs health for a buzz
then only words i have for you
you wont like so i'll not say most of it.
just imagine

"mommy got me high b4 i even breathed air"

sad sad shit that is.
some people do not have what it takes to be parents and smoking dope when pregnant proves to me you are one of them.
poor kid.

what they wont be no weed in a few months?
anything you injest will be used by baby,why aint ya doing coke and meth too
get the lil bugger addicted and be done with it.(yes that was sarcasim)

[GHoSToKeR]

Right on, Nowhereman! :)

[highjinx]

haha, that last shit was funny nowhereman! :D
but seriousley i dont think you should smoke.
if it was me (even though im a guy) i couldnt forgive myself for fuckin up my baby, there may only be a small chance, but still there is a chance! :confused:
you got your whole life to smoke. :p

There isn't any REAL scientific proof that it doesn't hurt babies...If there was a drug on the market that wasn't proven to be safe, would YOU take it?

Could you please not do any drugs (even caffine if you can) while you are pregnent, your baby doesn't have any free will so you must care for it. Would you give your baby some maryjane right after it is born? NO. So why do people think it's so different when its inside the body? Its even MORE important!

As I stated in my prior post, I don't think you are ready (or mature) enough to be even contemplating having a child. Pregnancy can be uncomfortable, that's granted, however most women find it to be a time in their life when they can bond with their unborn child and relish that special feeling of having a life growing inside you. If you want to spend those months "high" then you are going to miss out on something - but it doesn't really sound like that matters to you.
Maybe you think that posting your question on a forum where people advocate smoking pot will give you the consensus that it's OK to smoke when your pregnant - but as you can see, that's not the case.
Face it - there are times in life when you have to step up to the plate and act responsibly and put someone else's needs (especially an unborn child) ahead of you own selfish and immature wants!

Right on Lostin! You just saved me a long post of what exactly I wanted to say.

Thanks Kobeite,
I forgot to add - I think hippy mom hasn't realized that her mom's smoking while she was pregnant with her - really did have a negative effect :confused:

:( Smoking cannabis is a choice we all have, but what choice does a baby have if the mother decides to toke? To stop toking while your pregnant is a small sacrifise to make when it comes to the well being of your unborn child :(

I know with my first wife the baby dictated the smoke.
First he quit cigs...everytime she went to light up ....RALFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

THEN he decided that he was going to go strait. She'd do a bong and ...RAAAALLLLFFFFFF!

P.S. As for myself, if you were concerned at all, I had no problem smoking with my first child! :D

i really disagree with smoking weed and cigs even alcoholforcing ur baby to smoke weed its no different from the pushers selling all kinds of drugs to kids and i dont mean coz of the effects on health n shit but it is just wrong forcing another person to do something especially when its a child.
