Another victory for the pot smokers

[Musician]

Yesterday morning I heard at the TV that they made another study on cannabis, involving pregnant women.

And, of course, the results (published in a Canadian newspaper, National Post) have shown that smoking marijuana during pregnancy could help a lot with the problem of nauseas. They also said it does not hurt either of the woman or the baby to smoke cannabis moderatly.

peace

Cool.

But i would of thought that the smoke would damage the babys lungs? Because come on! All type of smoke is bad for you. So i dont see how it could be good for the baby if your getting the weed in your system with smoke.

Yeah, I've heard. Here's a pot case, from Wyoming, that was thrown out of court.

Supreme court ruling throws out drug search case
Associated Press | Star Tribune | Sunday, January 15, 2006

GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) -- A recent ruling by the Wyoming Supreme Court prompted a judge to dismiss charges against two men accused of smuggling 15 pounds of marijuana.

Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremy Beck said he pulled over Jesse R. Tanis and Steven R. Meline for traveling 79 mph in a 75 mph zone last January.

Beck said he had noticed a strong scent of cigarettes and air freshener, which he thought could have been used to mask the odor of marijuana. He also said the men seemed nervous. After determining neither man was wanted by law enforcement authorities, Beck wrote a warning, handed it to Tanis and told the men they were free to go. But then he immediately asked, "Mind if I ask you a few more questions?"

Tanis denied having anything illegal, and told the trooper he had no cocaine, methamphetamine or marijuana. Beck questioned what he was told and called for a dog trained to detect drugs. The dog allegedly found marijuana.

On July 28, the state Supreme Court ruled in a similar case that before a search is undertaken, an officer or trooper must have clear permission from the driver and must make clear that the driver is free to go.

District Judge John R. Perry said the fact that Beck immediately asked Tanis if he would answer more questions could have created confusion as to whether Tanis had a right to refuse.

"A reasonable person under these circumstances might be under the impression that he was, indeed, not free to go because the officer had suddenly remembered something else he needed to inquire about," Perry wrote in his decision.

Perry also said officers cannot request identification from passengers or question them if a check on the driver yields a clean report. Because the check on Tanis was clean, Perry said, questioning Meline and checking his records was unconstitutional.

actually when a woman is pregnant the baby doesnt inhale smoke lol

Ah, i see. I just would of asumed the smoke would of entered the baby as well.

We are on the verge of a "Green" planet.

No one can stop it.

I know he sort of already answered this, but a baby dosnt take its first breath until it comes out of the women. Up until birth its suspended in a liquid sack (placenta). Until birth the baby shares the womens blood/vitals through the umbilical chord.

not literally, but the thc is absorbed by the baby through the blood, and any other chemical in the weed...now Im not scientist and Im all for this if it works, but something's not right with this report?????

After finding a slight deficit in visual responsiveness among marijuana-exposed newborns, no differences were found at six months, 12 months, 18 months, or 24 months. At age 3, the only difference (after controlling for confounding variables) was that children of "moderate" smokers had superior psycho-motor skills. At age 4, children of "heavy" marijuana users (averaging 18.7 joints/week) had lower scores on one subscale of one standardized test of verbal development. At age 6, these same children scored lower on one computerized task - that measuring "vigilance." On dozens of others scales and subscales, no differences were ever found.

In another study, standardized IQ tests were administered to marijuana-exposed and unexposed three year-olds. Researchers found no differences in the overall scores. However, by dividing the sample by race, they found - among African-American children only - lower scores on one subscale for those exposed during the first trimester and lower scores on a different subscale for those exposed during the second trimester.

Well I'm in child developmen as of this semester and teh teacher said that when you inhale smoke the baby is too.

Hmmmm

[sdffa11]

thats got to be the stupidest thing i ever heard. if this was remotely true, we would have known about this years ago. god, you people are so gullible to believe this fluff.

are you sure you werent high when you heard this on the news and you werent imagining it?

[Jeff Spicoli]

fuck, if you can't quit smoking for your baby atleast until he/she's born, you shouldn't be having a klid

Hmmmm

sooo..... the mother takes a toke then the baby waits for the smoke and inhales it too? lol, ok then.

[MullManiac]

If the study said it was bad for the baby and shouldnt be smoked during pregnancy then how many of you would believe it? ;)

[Rarrr]

The baby isn't actuall smoking it but I would expect it to recieve nutrients from the mother internally. Anything that goes from mother to child (in the womb) may contain thc. This is hypothetical, I don't actually know if it's true :D

Knock, Knock

A number of studies claimed reported low birth weight and physical abnormalities among babies exposed to marijuana in utero. However, when other factors known to affect pregnancy outcomes were controlled for - for example, maternal age, socioeconomic class, and alcohol and tobacco use - the association between marijuana use and adverse fetal effects disappeared.

Numerous other studies have failed to find negative impacts from marijuana exposure. However, when negative outcomes are found, they tend to be widely publicized, regardless of the quality of the study.

nicely said. if my future wife ever decided to smoke while she was pregnant, i would knock her the fuck out. its just fucked up in general to try and fuck around with your baby's life like that.

[beachguy in thongs]

I'm not getting pregnant, so that's one less controlling boyfriend someone has to worry about.

[Highker]

So then why am I all fucked up?
