DrugFacts: Marijuana
https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana#references
“Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States. Its use is widespread among young people. According to a yearly survey of middle and high school students, rates of marijuana use have steadied in the past few years after several years of increase. However, the number of young people who believe marijuana use is risky is decreasing.”

The Women Who Smoke Weed While Pregnant
http://www.vice.com/read/the-women-who-smoke-weed-while-pregnant-420
“Stoner moms are vibrant members of the cannabis community, and the legal weed industry is making sure to capitalize on women and the power of the pussy. But there’s also an under-the-radar population of female cannabis consumers that isn’t as openly talked about: pregnant women.”

Doctors Call For Warnings On Pot Use During Pregnancy
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/pot-use-during-pregnancy-a-risk-needs-warnings/
“Warning: Marijuana use during pregnancy and breast-feeding poses potential harms. That message would be written on medical and recreational marijuana products and posted wherever they’re sold if the nation’s most influential doctors group has its way… Critics say evidence of harm is weak, but while advocates agree that more research is needed, they say erring on the side of caution makes sense.”

    Professionals know you can’t use the DSM to diagnose cognitive "deficiencies" that early in life. What a load of crock.

    I had hyperemesis gravidarum until 16 weeks, worst experience of my life lost 25 pounds couldn’t sleep couldn’t eat hospital visits for IV fluids 2-4 times a week! Water wouldn’t even stay down!!. I was prescribed every imaginable drug for nausea there is. NONE of it ever helped and the one that did, worked for an hour took away the nausea but took my appetite too! Also caused me to be constipated for 3 miserable days, it literally sucked all the fluid from my body! I took that one 2-3 times all the others I tried once and never again. Drs kept pushing and pushing the drugs. But tell me why I would keep putting drugs in my body that DONT help!! I have bottles and bottles full of nausea medications. I did my research and met women who smoked their entire pregnancies, their baby’s are perfect and scoring high on development charts. Smoking mj saved my life and I believe helped me keep my baby! I will gladly and with a smile take all the hate in the world from people who want to judge. Bc i know I made the right decision.πŸ€°πŸ’•

    I had morning sickness bad couldn’t hold any food down instead of gaining weight I lost weight had a still born son at 8 months I was constantly going back and forth to hospital never smoked weed with my first child and he passed away my second child I smoked weed because I heard it helped with nausea and I was finally able to gain weight and eat without throwing it back up my doctor said it wasn’t good for the baby so when I stopped the problems came back I went to the hospital because I could barely feel my son moving in my stomach and they told me his heart rate was not right so they gave me an emergency c section he was born 3 pounds 3 ounces I got pregnant again with my third son and I didn’t want to put my son through the same stress so I skinned weed he came out healthy with no problems what so ever he was a healthy 9 pounds 3 ounCes had my daughter healthy 8 pounds 6 ounces i don’t Condon smoking weed through out pregnancy but it help me out a lot I stopped smoking weed after each pregnancy I only smoked when I was pregnant morning sickness is no joke everybody is different and my kids weren’t addicted at birth

    It’s so much better for mom and the baby than the meds they’ll prescribe for pain or morning sickness. There is no real evidence that it does anything to a fetus. There are tons of studies that show that cannabis is good for baby but people only speak up about the ones that claim it’s bad. With the varying results in studies I personally assume the effects (good or bad) have little to do with the cannabis but more to do with nature and nurture! All babies are different regardless of cannabis use. No studies have even claimed birth defects or any issues that don’t already happen without use of cannabis. The studies that show negative results claim only effects that can be "fixed" or changed over time.

    It’s okay to put benzoyl alcohol and propylene glycol in the vitamin k shots given to newborns immediately but it’s not okay to consume/smoke something that grows in the ground.
    Doctor logic.



  6. Leon Schuring on June 1, 2019 at 9:46 pm

    Wow this channel is extremely degenerate



  7. Marcus Wilson on June 1, 2019 at 9:47 pm

    So is weed a drug



  8. Joanne Ortiz on June 1, 2019 at 9:48 pm

    Yeah, I like weed, use it medicinally. But be safe. Don’t use it when pregnant.



  9. Billy Bob Joe, The Professional Meme-ist on June 1, 2019 at 9:50 pm

    Common sense, anyone?

  11. Ebony's Circle News on June 1, 2019 at 9:55 pm

    It seems like anything that isn’t considered an over the counter drug or FDA approved gets this rep.
    I don’t think marijuana has the ability to negatively effect any user.
    That doesn’t mean chainsmoke while pregnant, or let children inhale second hand smoke, but that also doesn’t mean responsible moms should be arrested or their kids taken away due to smoking weed.



  12. Nightingale Bou on June 1, 2019 at 9:55 pm

    I’ve heard it can cause adhd



  13. Eliza B on June 1, 2019 at 9:55 pm

    I honestly don’t know what to think. My mother smoked cigarettes with me throughout her entire pregnancy, and I came out perfectly healthy, as did my brother. Someone said it’s just a numbers thing. There’s just a chance you’re taking. Your child may come out healthy or not, maybe it depends on genes as well?



  14. thaarealpimpcess on June 1, 2019 at 9:56 pm

    I LOVE weed , but I would definitely not smoke while prego , don’t wanna take any risks



  15. Liam OD on June 1, 2019 at 9:57 pm

    Its bad for you .
    Stop smoking .



  16. Bobby Girl on June 1, 2019 at 9:58 pm

    If you’re puking all the time, the baby starves and is deficient in nutrients and can’t develop. Pills for nausea will hurt the baby. Do what you got to do



  17. Amy Esselborn on June 1, 2019 at 9:59 pm

    If it is illegal and you smoke it while pregnant and child protective services finds out you will lose your child, so…..



  18. AngelBaby Momma on June 1, 2019 at 10:00 pm

    None of the studies separated tobacco use from cannabis use? They included both which doesn’t exclusively give detail to the effects of cannabis alone during pregnancy. No studies on consumption of cannabis during pregnancy other than the Jamacian studies which report no differences of children after a certain age. (Before a certain age though, the cannabis kids scored better in all areas tested and did better in school)

    Weed isn’t for pregnancy.
    It’s for getting pregnant.



  23. garrisp on June 1, 2019 at 10:03 pm

    Man what happened to the Discovery Channel?



  24. Jules Winfield on June 1, 2019 at 10:04 pm

    I mean it can’t be great for because the smoke still contains carbon monoxide but it can’t be any worse than eating sugar or processed foods that ruin your entire endocrine system, I’d be more worried about pesticides and artificial sweeteners destroying my kids testosterone and cortisol levels than a little bit of weed, cannabis is an extremely minor drug with almost non existent side effects



  25. That1 Blaquekid on June 1, 2019 at 10:04 pm

    But is it the babies choice ? It’s pretty selfish if you think about it. I’m pregnant and I toughed it out. I have a learning disability and I’m struggling with dysgraphia because my mom admitted to smoking weed while I was in the womb. So now that I’m a mother I recommend not to smoke while pregnant. There are several other remedies to keep food down and help morning sickness. I don’t have a problem with weed but don’t drag your baby down with you. Your baby can’t make its own choices for itself and it’s selfish for a mom to do that. If you’re gonna say that it’s okay to smoke weed while pregnant you might as well say it’s okay to do any hardcore drug while pregnant.



  26. Jelani Christie on June 1, 2019 at 10:05 pm

    Those symptoms match up to known vaccine side effects too btw just saying. Doctors hit you with those anyway from birth till you’re 18.



  27. Lovely & Untitled on June 1, 2019 at 10:07 pm

    My bff won’t stop smoking she’s pregnant again and I’m just hoping the baby is ok



  28. Bliss Lenox on June 1, 2019 at 10:11 pm

    Do they drug test you every visit..? Wouldn’t there be problems than?



  29. Yellanda on June 1, 2019 at 10:12 pm

    I mean, inhaling any type of combustion into your lungs isn’t going to be completely healthy for you, even if it is marijuana. My main question would be about the risk of vaping or taking edibles while pregnant.



  30. Jesse Garcia on June 1, 2019 at 10:14 pm

    All I got was that we don’t really know if there are significant consequences for preggo pot smoking. We all know about the crack babies hoax. If you don’t look it up. We had that similar stigma about marijuana use. But, as we develop more data with the rising rate of legalization and use, the evidence would suggest that the consumption of THC, CDB, THCV etc. are generally harmless to us and yield many benefits for patients and recreational smokers alike. With the technology for creating distillates improving, we are getting closer to infusing pure chemical doses rather than resorting to burning a plant. I’d, say that doctors debate this topic. Since there is no definitive answer, we should rely on the evidence when you make the decision to smoke (preferably vape) marijuana while pregnant.



  31. Diana Parbie on June 1, 2019 at 10:15 pm

    Men are going to disagree with this because they don’t know what we’re going through. Pregnancy symptoms are the worst, y’all gotta understand



  32. Lizziegirlnyc on June 1, 2019 at 10:16 pm

    Cannabinoids with a mother and baby’s endocannabinoid system makes sense.. Every human has an endocannabinoid system.. We we’re meant to consume cannabis.



  33. ShadowMassacr13 on June 1, 2019 at 10:21 pm

    I wish more people would test with edibles. Obviously smoking ANYTHING is bad because you’re replacing your oxygen supply with something else. But what about specifically the consumption of THC/Cannabis in an edible form while pregnant? It’s really hard to find any unbiased studies that are definite answers, it’s all theoretical



  34. Brandon Conn on June 1, 2019 at 10:21 pm

    This autistic genius at my school said his mom smoked pot while pregnant with him so



  35. Ashley Richardson on June 1, 2019 at 10:22 pm

    I’m in the mist of my pregnancy, 29 weeks and I’ve been smoking daily since the morning aka daily sickness started. 1st trimester, I was loosing weight, everything I ate was coming up and due to the rumors I told myself I wasn’t going to smoke, blah blah blah. I tried to eat a sandwich and threw it up and literally said to my husband "I gotta get some green, my apatite is going flatline" literally after 30 mins of being high , I was ready for some food lol. I felt like me again!!! Been smoking since, it helps me chill , relax , not over think and eat !! She looks great, great weight, always moving and karate kicking me lol and I feel great .. make your own decisions ladies. I’m always in Las Vegas were weed is legal , so if you are in a good state- fire it up. Obviously don’t smoke like 420 but do a lil sumn sumn , you’ll be fine!



  36. Lisa Smith on June 1, 2019 at 10:22 pm

    Give your toddler edibles regularly and lets see if you go jail or not πŸ€¦πŸ½β€β™€οΈ.



  37. Crystal Rain on June 1, 2019 at 10:23 pm

    So if you don’t know if its good to do something like this then maybe don’t do it? also I want them to legalize weed so that we have more places that can study the effects of it and we can separate fact from myth.



  38. babegirl789 on June 1, 2019 at 10:23 pm

    All my babies are very smart and no teribble 2s yet not adhd or anything



  39. Hippie Queen on June 1, 2019 at 10:24 pm

    I’d say weed is fine. No alcohol though, no hard drugs & no cigs while pregnant but weed nah it’s fine just don’t smoke constantly a few hits of weed here & there I think is fine just my opinion!!

    If you’re not a woman (as in a man) that can make a baby your opinion is irrelevant. For women who actually need this video you’re not helping at all by insulting the women WHO CAN HELP AND GIVE ADVICE!!!!!!! This just proves boys are less then women. Grow up and be a man, stay in your own business

  50. Horacio Kelly on June 1, 2019 at 10:31 pm

    CBD is a very effective supplement to use while pregnant, and it can be used post pregnancy. Here is the link for hemp CBD oil, zero THC, and as a medical student I can say that traditional medicine is dangerous while pregnancy.
