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.

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

[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

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
