Of the three babies I've ever known of born to mothers who got high during pregnancy, two of those kids were developmentally delayed, and the other has hyperactivity but seems of normal intelligence.

I'm curious why you'd even be considering doing something that might remotely harm an unborn baby. In the scheme of things, 40 smoke-free weeks isn't a huge sacrifice for a healthy child, is it?
YWhen you say got high" you are referring to MJ use correct? That you knew 2 kids whose development was delayed because of MJ use? Maybe MJ would be better for Mothers & babies than modern drugs used for various treatments during labor & birth also...I have seen "crack" & heroin babies but NEVER a baby that was challenged because of MJ use only but I don't think I would expose the baby to the side effects..but when the baby gets in the birth canal..thats a different story using mj as a med then..it should be available for the Woman.
