Right now things are changing! CPS is starting to behave more sanely about cannabis. Still, many of the workers are clinging to the past just like some cops. Obviously for safety reasons, you shouldn't smoke while actually breastfeeding. But smoking during those months while breastfeeding is fine medically. (Click the link below for many studies on pregnancy, children and more...)

I would (1) get a vaporizer. No 2nd hand smoke, less smell. (2) Never use in the same room as the baby. (3) Have everything under lock and key! Baby will be walking very soon, and having no possible way for baby to get to the pot will keep CPS off your tushie! Start now, so it will be habit by the time baby is walking.

You are doing the right thing nursing! Both of my sons were nursed until around 2 years of age. And did you know that hemp seed gruel (ground seeds cooked like oatmeal) is, in some African tribes. the #1 choice for a weaning food? Seems it is extremely good for you! Don't let anyone convince you to switch the baby to bottles! Breast is best! :thumbsup:

And sweetie, you would have gotten more replies if you had made this its own thread! Don't be shy about it- it's a valid and important question!


Now back to the topic!

MPL, I beg to differ! Cannabis was the #1 detox drug until prohibition! Here are a few studies for you-

Cannabis substitution
Clinical Studies and Case Reports

Cannabis as a Substitute for Alcohol
CCRMG

Crack heads and roots daughters: The therapeutic use of cannabis in Jamaica (cocaine)
Clinical Studies and Case Reports

There are more in the list, but 3 is enough. And I've personally have seen many folks use it as a way to get off other drugs- tobacco, heroin and alcohol, as well as just for coming down off speed.

Of those drugs, I only use alcohol occasionally- New Years was my last drink and more than 4 months between that one and the one before it. There is an open bottle of vodka in my kitchen- sitting untouched since New Years. This is significant since I am an alcoholic. With cannabis, I can take an occasional drink and not get re-addicted. Without it- I easily "fall back into the bottle". I smoke a lot of pot and have little desire for alcohol. (I'm also a much nicer person on weed.)

Good luck to all of you!

Storm Crow Reviewed by Storm Crow on . Getting medical pot for withdrawal of more harmful drugs? Please mods, I am doing my best to keep this in the rules as possible. I am not talking about the other drugs that I did specifically, only that they were prescribed, and that they were opiates. I go through severe withdrawal if I discontinue my usage. I do not want methadone or any of the other opiate "substitutes", because they are still just opiates. Weed makes almost all the symptoms reduce, but I have to be really toking to get a benefit. To a point that I cannot afford the amount Rating: 5
