A question for those who feel bored enough to answer.

[LOVElife]

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!

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.

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

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....

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]

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

same as that guy^^

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

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.

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....
