A question for those who feel bored enough to answer.

[ImStonedNILikeIt]

Okay being a new mom and all, This question is for the females who have kids, or want to have kids...Would you smoke while you were pregnant?I'm anew mother, Well my son is 14months old so semi new..I didn't smoke pot when i was pregnant, but there are those who did...Did you, or would you?It doesn't matter..I was just wondering...
And males...If your wife/girlfriend was pregnant would you let her smoke pot?:o


Just a couple questions knockin' on my bored stoned brain.

[LOVElife]

My lass, didn't smoke it when she was pregnant, and now she has had the baby she doesn't smoke it anymore.

I know I will get shit for this, but I see smoking bongs and shit as a male activity. It just aint' very ladie like!

[higher4hockey]

If my wife/girlfriend was pregnant and wanted to smoke pot, i would file for divorce.

[highjinx]

nah man iv gotta go against shmokin while pregnant! a small risk but still a risk!
haha goodluck lovelife! lol:D

[mike jones]

ya i would have a serious problem if my wife/gf smoked while pregnant. ppl post here all the time with facts saying its not harmful, but it just feels so wrong to me that women smoke while pregnant.

[LIP]

If my GF smoked weed while pregnant i would have a problem with it. But at the end of the day i wouldnt be able to stop her. Id rather she didnt though, id want a perfect child. Then again, they did a test and it made no differnce, but still, i want a strong healthy baby.

[rastabill89]

yeah i wouldnt let my girl smoke well she was pregnant

[ImStonedNILikeIt]

Unladylike to smoke?Well I'll be damned. You musta been outsmoked by a couple of girls:)That'd odd. but I value your opioion....:):D

I agree.. I didn't smoke while I was pregnant because I wanted my kid to be okay mentally, I knew he'd probably be socially fucked, but why add the mentally fucked to his list??

I dont care what you think of my views, but I dont agree with lasses chuggin on bongs and pipes, or sinking Gravity Bongs!

Smokin' a joint is ok, but not when pregnant. This is more to do with how I feel 'bout women smokin' weed though!

Peace

What I said wasn't meant to offend you. I said I value what you are saying. Everyone has different views, My sister says that I smoke more then anyone guy or girl she knows, I take offense to that, but sometimes I brag about it. I understand what you're saying though. I've been brought up by a bunch of guys, besides my mom, and sisters. However, My sisters always hung out with male friends, which brough me up around them....So, I guess I just picked up about there ways. Thanks for answering though. :)

I didn't take any offence love, I was just commenting and it may have come across like I was on the defensive. I dunno why I feel like this now, I never used to its the same as my Legalise Cannabis thoughts and how that has ruffled some feathers on this site.

Anyway, back to your original point of smoking whilst pregnant, I would say this was a no-go-zone, but each to their own, I just think the baby will develop better naturally without you polluting your body. Those who say it has no negativ effects, well . . . . you people are kiddin' yourself!

Peace!

[beachguy in thongs]

Okay, say I had a girlfriend, just like me:

Upon her journeys to prove a point, she'd find...



There is evidence that polymorphism of the CNR1 gene occurs in humans46 and is associated with variable drug dependency47. It remains to be seen whether the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is associated with Cnr1 gene polymorphism, mutation or chronic use of cannabinoids or anticannabinoids. Because genetic background−dependent phenotype variations are observed for Cnr1-/- mice23, 48, our studies on Cnr1 mutant mice on a C57BL/6J background need to be expanded on other genetic backgrounds to ascertain whether impaired oviductal embryo transport is a function of genetic makeup.

Researchers say they also found that WIN interfered with the release of a brain transmitter called glutamate, a key chemical associated with learning and memory processing.

Although these findings have not yet been confirmed in humans

And articles, like these...
CC: So they've used cannabis in childbirth for generations?

WC: I was just talking to my father earlier today, and asked if he remembered what grandmother did. She was the main midwife in her day, and he said "yes, she carried the hempseed oil with her all the time to help people alleviate the pains and swelling and help with the expelling of placenta." He said there were multiple uses for it, until it was banned by the west, and the law in the US became the law in Taiwan.

Pot and pregnancy
by Dana Larsen (16 Jan, 2003)

Pot doesn't impair fetus, unlike tobacco, alcohol or cocaine

A study published in the May issue of the journal Pediatrics analyzed the cognitive performance of 354 babies between 6 and 13 months, born to mothers who had used different drugs during pregnancy.

Alcohol use during pregnancy was associated with poorer cognitive performance. Cocaine and tobacco use was associated with smaller birth size. Cannabis use produced no detectable effects compared to mothers who abstained entirely.

http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/2805.html




I, on the other hand, have no stand on the issue.

[ImStonedNILikeIt]

haha....See I know someone would bring in some evidence...

I never wanted to smoke pot when I was pregnant, The smell of food alone made me sick,and when my friends smoked around me, I got even sicker...Sometimes alittle contact buzz helped me get through the dts too, but nothing dangerous. I don't know, My kid came out wonderful, and someone elses kid ( a friend of mine)came out wonderful who did smoke pot while they were prego....

[Starchild]

I went through the same question about 22 years ago.I do not judge but I will give my own view at the time for myself.

I quit cold turkey.For me I did so out of fear.I was scared enough feeling insecure about becoming a Mother I decided to do everything by the book.I ate healthy,did yoga etc..I nursed for 13 months and then I started smoking again...It is a difficult decision to make.I rather be "safe"than sorry

[chisme]

Once a woman finds out she is pregnant.......all shit stops. Immediately. That's what a decent, loving caring mother does. And after the baby comes, if you breast feed, you can't start smoking, drinking or whatever again as it will pass thru the breast milk.

My personal opinion is this.....every mother that gives birth to a crack baby or meth baby...........they ought to be shot dead.

[420purplehaze420]

deffinently dont smoke when your pregnant, babies like oxygen

i would be pissed if my girl smoked or drank while pregnant

[Trichocereus Panza]

I would have no problem w/ it if my wife/gf smoked while pregnant, or even while breastfeeding perhaps. I would have to think about it more, in any case it's her choice.

But think about this: when my younger sister was born with spina bifida, my dad felt guilty for a long time about the possibility that his previous LSD use could have had something to do with her birth defect. It must be a terrible feeling, cause you can never be sure WHAT caused it... just think how you would be feeling as a mother for example, who gives birth to one of those rare cases, AFTER THE FACT. Cause then there's no going back.

Personally, I feel my dad was being paranoid and that the 'LSD birth defect' phenomenon has no evidence behind it, just pure bullshit propaganda. I don't judge anyone who smokes while pregnant (it must be one of the most interesting times in life to be high!!) because I don't believe it causes any harm. However I also respect those of you who would choose to go cold turkey on everything just to avoid that slight chance of having to second-guess yourself later.

There's no real answer I guess: 'Better safe than sorry' really is a healthy policy, but so is choosing not to live your life in fear and paranoia.

...silencing of cannabinoid receptor CB1 causes retention of a large number of embryos in the mouse oviduct, eventually leading to pregnancy failure.

results suggest that aberrant cannabinoid signaling impedes coordinated oviductal smooth muscle contraction and relaxation crucial to normal oviductal embryo transport.

When you said "without polluting your body"...aside from a woman being pg...do you believe that we are polluting our bodies when not pg? And men need to remember that whatever drugs they are using at the time of conception could also affect the baby....

[briman]

well my mother smoked pot when she was pregnant with me she has sid that to me and my father used to smoke around me all the time when i was still living there even when i was a baby but when my gf was pregnant she didnt smoke pot and i went outside to smoke and i dont smoke around him now though i do do it in the house just not in the same room

[Breukelen advocaat]

The actor/comedian Pauly Shore said that his mother smoked it while she was pregnant with him. Hearing that was enough to convince me that it might not be a good idea.

[beachguy in thongs]

When you said "without polluting your body"...aside from a woman being pg...do you believe that we are polluting our bodies when not pg? And men need to remember that whatever drugs they are using at the time of conception could also affect the baby....

Any drug they've ever done that might have affected their seminal vesicles, one way or another, alone would cause some sort of deviation. Those problems occur from doing prescription drugs when nothing's wrong.

I can look in this drug book, and the reproductive system is part of the adverse effects of any drug.

Marijuana is non-toxic. What harm will it do? I guess overstimulation of the cannabinoid receptors, kind of, clogs the fallopian tube and may prevent pregnancy, but, also, no stimulation, almost, definitely does.

[Shelbay]

My original post asking LoveLife about his word terminology for the statement "polluting our bodies..as if MJ is a bad plant for women that should not be used..and also that MJ users consistently point out that MJ is beneficial not harmful but for pg women not to use it effectively if needed? I understand not smoking while pg becuase of the oxygen but maybe eating food with MJ for morning sickness that lasts the entire pregnancy and actually does not last just early mornings but all during the pregnancy..and the fact that women are given prescription drugs during pg to combat a multitude of problems such as "morning sickness" that is so severe that it threatens the baby. Just trying to say that women can and do have problems that are difficult to treat during pregnancy because of the danger of passing drugs to the baby so maybe..just imo that eating a muffin baked with mj that could stop alot of the sickness that can and does lead to dehydration..or stimulates appetites supresssed..or even better that could actually help a woman severely sick "digest" the pre-natal vitamins that are most important for a babys development stages during gestation. There are no true "studies" that could prove the benefits of this plant nor if there are negative side effects so its a hard call....so to answer the question..right now I would say err on the side of caution for the baby and use common sense about your own body..listen to it..I don't need a Dr. or anyone else to tell me what is best for ME since I know ME better than a person that is rushed with patients and actually spends 15 minutes twice a month with me...then again if MJ could help men obtain a erection it would have been "studied" and approved by the FDA years ago.

[eGGNoG]

ive smoked with chicks before its not a big deal for chicks to smoke whoever was saying that, and its funny me and my gf talked about that today she was like i def dont want to have ababy anytime soon cus then icant drink, and isaid OR SMOKE, and she said yeah she knows. if your pregnant you cant go on rollercoasters. dont expect to go on a weed trip :D

I don't know many women that would "expect" to go on a weed trip as you put it while pg..but do know women and have been "there" myself that expect humane,safe & effective treatment during the pregnancy....actual birth...and post pg...so if MJ could help women/baby during pregnancy it should be made available. Who really knows?? But if I had my rathers..I would eat a muffin with MJ before I ever pop another pill that is legal and blindly follow my Dr.'s orders..then find out years later..wow ...a new study has determined that this has been reviewed and found to cause birth defects etc...It has happened in this country a few decades ago with a pill that was given to women for nausea (morning sickness) and thousands of babies were born without limbs...severe birth defects...all because American Women trusted that because it was "legal" and their Dr. prescribed it -it was okay..yeah. And I think it would be great if I could have smoked a good one for the pain during birth instead of having complications from the demerol I was given and further stressing my baby..how many women have posted on this thread?

[EbelEyes]

My lass, didn't smoke it when she was pregnant, and now she has had the baby she doesn't smoke it anymore.

I know I will get shit for this, but I see smoking bongs and shit as a male activity. It just aint' very ladie like!


haha, now that i would have to disagree with!

I mean, my favorite person in the whole world smokes, and she's also my favorite person to get stoned with! I find it very "lady like" for a woman to smoke some Marijuana with me. If thats what to call it -- lady-like.

But as for the question, I believe that, while it has been proven not to do anything to your baby, and its like a lot of people have been saying... "its better safe than sorry."

I would not like it if I got a girlfriend (I still have yet to get one, but I have the said girl above in mind!) pregnant, I would tell her not to do any drugs what-so-ever, including pain medications. I don't care what the Medical world thinks on this one, I say absolutely nothing shall going into a woman while she's pregnant, even if its proven to not hurt the baby (I'm talking medications). It would be not very fair to the baby, if you he/her has to live a life not to his/her fullest because of something you took while you were pregnant with him/her.

And I'm not one of those "Pro-life" people who are against abortions. And while I am also agains't them, I believe that it is a woman's choice, no in fact, it should be a couples choice. I read somewhere that if you're not married to the pregnant woman, she can have an abortion without your approval..... and I don't quite understand that. I mean sure if she was raped or something... if a guy accidently gets a girl pregnant, well then he should be in on the decision too.:confused: :confused: :confused:

[Shelbay]

No pain medication?? How can you say that and you are not a woman and never been in LABOR? Men need to do men things and let women do what nature intended for them..and that includes more female OB/GYN Dr's..seriously how can a man even know what a woman truly feels and needs in a childbirth..sure one can go to school and earn a license to treat us but that does not mean they can sympathize with something they have never experienced....much less continue with this natural child birth method...what is good for one does not make good for ALL...and uncontrolled pain CAN and DOES lead to complications...and that is from personal experience.....we all say its a plant..no harm..okay..but let it come to something that could relieve a womans pain and make the actual birth experience less stressful for mother and baby and suddenly its a solid no..yeah...oh also..there are certain "stages" of birth that medication can be safely given and when that baby moves in the birth canal..then I am all for a woman having immediate access to MJ...might even help speed things along if she could relax from the pain and push instead of having problems from prolonged labor and NO "drugs"....or being given a legal injection of pain medication and having adverse reactions to it.Some of you remind me of Tom Cruise and I really hope Katie lets out some words his way while she is attempting to do it the scientology way..silence. MJ should be legalized..seriously..the men have viagra and Levitra but we can't get the proof we need to have safe access to a plant that could be safer and actually more beneficial for pregnant women...and no I don't speak for every woman but quite a few...and I see no valid reason or explanations why women are still having men determine what is in our and the babies best interest.

[beachguy in thongs]

My original post asking LoveLife about his word terminology for the statement "polluting our bodies..
Those are the comments I skip over because I hear it all the time from people who don't know what cannabinoid receptors are, and are just plain ignorant to any facts regarding marijuana's potential effects.

Any smoke damages your body? Cigarette smoke affects the small bronchial passages in the lungs, whereas Marijuana smoke doesn't. Amazing.

MJ is an amazing plant..a beautiful,safe amazing plant..yes...and I like the links you provide with what information is available at this time...although I still say "personal experience" is the best information that could be found until it is legalized and controlled studies are done..and I think that women should be in charge of the "studies"....men saying no pain intervention should just be quiet until one carries the baby...does the labor..and birth..then talk to me about natural child birth...how do you guys enjoy being told your worthless and a criminal because you smoke MJ..and the people saying it have never smoked,ingested etc..MJ in their life..but they can still tell you what is best for you...that you don't know what works best for yourself so let them do all the thinking and speaking for you...not a good feeling right.

[friendowl]

i think that women should smoke when they feel
stressed or depressed when pregnant.it wont harm
the fetus.pregnant women are very emotional and
they do crazy shit.if they blaze and just relax i think
that they will actually do good for the child.

[beachguy in thongs]

Shelbay, that's an Oscar-Winning Post. :clap:

I'm just an optimist. A Cannabist. Coptab...:eek:

I'm just wondering what's the difference between crack-babies, heroin-babies, coke-babies, and pot-babies. :confused:

[friendowl]

crack babies heroin babies alcohol babies all come from people trying
their best to escape something.

us as weed people we just wanna intensify our pleasures
and relieve stress and minor boredom

[MudFu]

I don't agree with smoking weed if your expecting a baby. I wouldn't let the woman who is carring my child do it. Even if I had to tie her down Lol. But out of respect I would stop smoking weed as well...or for the most part. Maybe every now and then but I wouldn't do it in front of her and It would not be as much. I can't expect her to do something if i'm not willing to try it either.

[Shelbay]

The largest study of perinatal cannabis use involving 12,000 women,found no difference between babies who had been exposed to it in the womb and those who had not-Daily Factoid FACT.

[friendowl]

i was smoking weed in my living room with no one home.
i had it hot boxed like a mutha.
could barely see the tv.
the doorbell rings and its my cousin and her
8 year old daughter.the kid starts coughing
and then did her homework.the lil kid says
" i could never understand my work but all of
a sudden i understand.something in my head just clicked "
i think it was the weed that opened up her lil brain.

I have never been exposed to those drugs..just the plant MJ..but I have seen crack babies that have serious withdrawals,complications,defects etc..I have seen that..and the meth babies are pitiful..now those dogs in heat that smoke or snort or whatever you do with that stuff and they are pg should be held accountable..big difference between those harmful "drugs" and the MJ plant:) I don't believe any of those drugs would be beneficial for the mother and baby at all..to me those are evil drugs..my opinion but I am a dedicated MJ user....never would move beyond it and have no desire to..are there ANY positive uses for those other drugs? I don't see how..but MJ is a story unto herself..very positive plant...and I don't think it would be a great idea to take those for pain/stress relief during birth ..I only know I see the end results of those drugs not much I can say about them since I have no personal experience. What do you think beachguy? When my friend had her baby a few years ago..she smoked like the last trimester because she was really stressed about the birth (first for her)..she ate..rested..and her BP went down to a safe level..before she started smoking her Dr. thought she was going to have to be admitted to the hospital to get her BP under control..and its been like 4 years now and her child is fine...and no she did not toke up every day..just when she NEEDED it...and i don't believe heroin and crack are harmless to begin with so I am biased about those drugs anyway..now your a smart guy beachguy..you know there is a huge difference.:) Those other drugs have no relation to the benefit of cannabinoid receptors right? Beachguy don't make me think this late in the day lol...and I used your word..cannabinoid. I need to burn a good one now..so I can think..been chasing dogs and I am ready to chill.:) Oh and one more thing...instead of doping todays youth up with legal pills...maybe children should be given a MJ capsule..or a muffin a day instead of psych drugs that seem so popular for busy parents these days that have no time to deal with their children except to cram some pills down them to control them..okay stopping now.

Better for the child to be relaxed instead of in stress....thanks for looking at it from a womans point of view on this friendowl..how many children do you have? 3? So I would say you have gone through the experience of stress and depression with your wife....and maybe if MJ was legalized and given to women that DO have PPD...it would save childrens lives..alot of hormone changes going in a woman before,during and after birth of a baby. We have women that cry out for help and society continually ignores those cries..look at andrea yates..horrible and evil what she did but maybe if she had a prescription for MJ instead of drowning her children she would have just burned one and went ahead and fixed dinner as usual..she was messed up in her head and no I do not excuse or condone what she did..but I do believe she had PPD and no effective medication..it is like if someone does not see blood pouring out of you then nothing is major wrong...and eventually the woman will break from whatever the untreated problem is..I just don't get people saying MJ is harmless and then act like its a straight shot of heroin when it comes to pg women...

[beachguy in thongs]

Shelbay, lol, cannabinoids were discovered in the 80's, I think. Before I was ten. If they let me name them I would have called them newyorkyankeebinoids.

The reason I was interested in Pot, was because I was trying to find what made the huge difference between the effects of the hard drugs and marijuana, all of which I'd done before and after my coma.

This was 1999 and, almost immediately, I discovered (in a legal drug book) that Italian researchers found the best way to promote Melatonin production was to smoke a joint (2 hrs. after, all the subjects had 4,000% raise). I really got into that and found that caffeine, tobacco, cocaine, crack, et al, all lower Melatonin levels, so until I learned of the anatomy of a brain-injury, along with the actions of cannabinoids, I thought that was the reason.

Back to the mice and rats: melatonin has shown to increase thier lives by 20% and rats' (I think, maybe mice, I don't know, I get lost) whose CB1 receptor was suppressed, or shut off, lived 20% shorter lives. That makes 40%, the difference between 75 and 100.

The other drugs affect your dopamine receptors, whereas cannabis affects your cannabinoid receptors, which are amazing because they have the power to regulate your dopamine receptors, along with every other cell in our body.

The other drugs lower melatonin levels, cannabis quadruples it, a thousand times.

Something involved with smoking weed does not get passed to the fetus. I can't remember what it is.

[Shelbay]

How long were you in a come beachguy? And I love your posts but when your serious about your business sometimes I have to read them more than once to comprehend sometimes..full of information. I don't know what happened to you but your brain seems to be in great working condition to me..wonder how you were before your coma? Because of you beachguy I am thinking hard again..thanks:) I always kind of skimmed your posts but your up on the benifits of MJ..I really didn't realize you knew this much info on MJ and other connectors on its healing process..I wasn't in a coma but I was lucky..I think I may have been beaten so bad that the long term effects from the beatings still affect me..such as I have a very difficult time doing thought process and actually connecting the thoughts when I do not have my plant available to medicate...is that how you are? I am sorry you were in a coma beachguy..really... my viewpoint on you is very different from when I first joined...you actually back up your posts..and I do look for your name now haha.:)

[Smpthy4TheDevil]

i'm divided on the issue. on the one hand, i've never seen any proof that cannabis comsumption causes any adverse effects to the fetus, but on the hand.. better safe than sorry?

really i'm not sure. however, if i made the decision to use cannabis while pregnant, i would switch to a vaporizer and/or eating it. whether or not cannabis use is harmful to fetuses is up in the air, but the toxins in smoke cant be good for them.

[beachguy in thongs]

wonder how you were before your coma?

Class Clown of '93, baseball scholarship. But the last year before my coma (11/1/94) was interesting. I smoked pot chronically at The College of St. Rose, ironically, the only time in my life that I made the Dean's list or Honor roll. Smoked, but drank a lot more, with friends from high school, at SUNY Plattsburgh and then had a regular connection, along with my roommate buying me beer (18 a night), when I moved to Virginia Beach.

I was in a coma for ten days, the last day they were gonna keep me hooked up to life-support. I've came to the conclusion that the recent boost in activation of the cannabinoid receptors, and the neuroprotectiveness it afforded, was the difference between life and death, for me.

Pot was created, obviously, for Pot Receptors. Just like a key for a lock. Or eyelids for sleep. Pot Receptors regulate our body from the abuse, physically or emotionally, that the World has put on our natural bodies. Luckily, I don't need it to forget a painful occurence(s), just a pain.

yakity-yak, blah-blah-blah, smoke em if you got em....

[SensiRide]

I will not smoke weed when I'm pregnant because I think its better to be safe than sorry, and if anything was wrong with my child, no matter how small, I would blame myself and couldnt live with the guilt.I mean, its only for 9 months. In fact, I'll probably give it up completely when I have kids.
I would be quite alarmed if I found out I was pregnant and I'd been smoking weed recently. My plan is to gradually reduce the amount I'm smoking over the next few years so I'm smoke free when I'm ready to have kids.

[lizzie on low]

I quit the minute I discovered I was pregnant out of fear. But thankfully, the second and third trimesters of my pregnancy caused the odd but wonderful side-effect of eliminating my migranes, so there really wasn't much of a reason TO smoke.

But now, the migranes are back and I feel terrible. I've been serriously considering hitting up a neighbor for a joint, but I can't bring myself to because of the social stigma of smoking with a baby in the house. Thankfully, I've pumped enough breastmilk so that I can feed him for a day or two after I smoke just to make sure nothing gets to him.

Still, I'm in conflict about it. On the one hand, MJ works better than anything else for my migranes, but on the other hand... I'm a mom, perhaps it's time I simply abandoned such things.
