My mom smoked pot with my 2 brothers and myself and none of us are dumb in fact the opposite. I don't think pot is all that harmful I used to smoke pot for years myself (although I quit a while back) I do know pot does have side affects as with all other narcotics And alcohol otherwise why would people smkoe it. And pot is addictive especially for people with a more addictive personalities. I know people that need pot to function just in daily life I also know that pot can cause extreme cases of paranoia you can't tell me those aren't signs if addiction. Addiction is different for everyone bit as for pot affecting your baby if cigarettes can affect the baby what makes someone think pot can't? And I do know facts. Well this Is my opinion but opinions are like assholes everyone's got one.
Drinking alcohol is legal in all 50 states for those over 21, but that doesn't make it safe during pregnancy, either. .. Chamomile, anise root & rose hips (among many, many other herbs) are all perfectly natural & found in nature but are extremely dangerous in pregnancy... To each their own, but it would litterally kill me if I took the risk for a high & harmed my unborn child in any way. Especially for a temporary high. Giving birth to a beautiful, healthy baby is the only high I needed to get through the 10 weeks of unbearable morning sickness I dealt with.
@ghelphaene I had forgotten about Cytotec! I am used to hearing it called Misoprostol . Another pregnancy related drug has recently been warned against by the FDA, Terbutaline (used to prevent preterm labor) . (http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm243539.htm)
I am not a pot smoker, but I doubt its much more harmful that cigarette smoking.... but here is a possible side effect for u.... JAIL. What if something IS wrong with ur baby, and while performing standard tests they find drugs in ur baby's system, guess what, u just won urself reckless endangerment charges, drug charges, and having ur baby taken away. Just something to think about... I'm not judging anyone, just trying to give anyone who wants it, a 3rd party POV.... Yes, my uncle is a district attorney, could u tell?? :-)
A lot of stuff is all natural and still not good for us preggo or not. I honestly think weed is not the worst thing when you have doctors prescribing scarier narcotics to preggo women....
1st of all most you woman who smoke are smoking street pot which is different than medical one street pot has other stuff added to it and I know of no dr prescribing it to a pregnant woman key.word being pregnant and when they do prescrib it it limeted amont and monitored two way difrent things
@jenn_929 ... its on my list of herbs to avoid during pregnancy since it can cause contractions. I would ask your doctor about it or look it up online.
@ghelphaene m so sorry. In my frustrations i missed your first post. I really do apologize! I see your husbamd has his card in cali. I have mine in colorado!
Ladies, I am hitting the sack (not the bong, tee hee, sorry weed humor). Be nice to each other while I'm gone!! Remember listen to other peoples opinions even if you don't agree with them!
Honestly I would rather smoke pot than take vicodin every four hours which my doctor prescribed me and being a former pill abuser I know for a fact they have much worse affects on you than pot
@heatherstarr11 thank you for take the time of check it. I belive in that info is kinda sad some girl just dont try to understand the reallity is not always wath we want to hear. =((
Smoke it, don't smoke it.... just when your kid starts smoking keep him away from my lil girl... and don't you smoke around her either... lol... its your choice to do what you want and as long as it don't affect me and mine un good
Yes, spearmint & plain peppermint is fine... black tea is okay, but has some caffiene- just less than coffee. I think there are some decaf black teas out there... Green tea is NOT okay (bummer! ). I have also read that Hibiscus is not okay, either. You have to be extra cautious with tea blends & make sure to read & know all the ingredients. Sorry to be a downer!
@uncaffeinated_katie Unless you are adding Red Bull or Full Throttle to it, haha. I actually know a guy who loves tea mixed with Full Throttle. I cannot begin to imagine how it must taste.
It is surprising, but yes, there are some teas with more caffiene than coffee!... I think regular black tea has 35mg vs. coffee's 100mg?... does that sound right?... I haven't looked since my last pregnancy, lol... but I do know green tea is not considered safe... I do encourage anyone who drinks it to talk to their doctor; I'm not a professional- just a bookworm!
Back to the CPS issue. If u have ur weed n pipe or whatever u smoke out of on a living room table or somewhere the baby can access it ,they can take ur baby. As long as ur stuff is put up in a cabinet or locked up somewhere that the baby can't access it there is nothing they can do about u smoking weed!!
