One 14 year old study that still carries relevance to this day. And there have been many, many more studies surrounding this. Frankly, I dont have the time or energy to fill up the forum with it.

However, I do want to add something here -- based on unimpeachable empirical evidence...:jointsmile:

About -- oh 35-40 years ago, we had a little something called Hippies. A whole generation of them. They smoked a lot of pot (they did various other things too).

Now they were say about 15 to 29 back them ("Dont trust anyone over 30" was their motto) which makes them about 50 to 64 now with kids who are in their teens late teens and 20's and even early 30's. Yup the whole Generation X group.

You know all that free-love? Babies. Lots of babies. And you know something? The Maternity Wards didn't have an influx of "pot-babies" during the 70's and 80's.

If pot effected babies, that's when it would have been noticed and the government would have climbed all over it -- it was the days of Nancy Reagan and "Just Say No" and Eggs Frying with your "brain on drugs" (which of course just made us all have an instant case of the munchies).

And at the risk of swerving into off-topic territory, let me add another bit of info (mods-feel free to delete if not in compliance) - All those crack cocaine babies from 80's? Seems it wasn't the crack or the withdrawl that was their problem, it was lack of nutrition and pre-natal care for their Moms, who were afraid to seek help from the state because they were hooked on crack... Malnourished mothers and poor prenatal care is the leading cause of infant mortality, brain damage, and disability.

Just a thought to be known :smokin:
