mary jane is natural not a real drug no harm in it
do your research for you post
i suggest hands on EX

I hate to break this to ya kid, but a lot of drugs are natural... Alcohol, tobacco, opiates (including heroin), cocaine is derived from the coca plant. Just because something is natural doesn't mean it's healthy.

it is not harm full dont be fooled by lies there are no sideffects and has medical uses

[browng-08]

Healthful. It bugs me a bit when the word healthy is mistakenly used instead of healthful. Look the two up.

Anyways, there are numerous negative effects of marijuana, not the least of which is its addictive quality. At the very least, make sure the mother doesn't smoke or partake in any other drug use (tabacco and alcohol included) while she is with child.

Several studies have found that children born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy exhibit some problems with neurological development. According to those studies, prenatal marijuana exposure can cause:
Altered responses to visual stimuli
Increased tremulousness
Problems with sustained attention and memory
Poor problem-solving skills

Smoking marijuana when you have a kid to take care of is just unresponsible. Please, don't do it.

[hecter]

See, but you're saying it's natural and not a real drug. Yes, it's natural, but it is a drug. And drugs, even the natural ones, can be dangerous. How unhealthy pot is, I don't know, but I really don't think that anybody should be smoking anything around kids.

Forgive me if I'm not going to take medical advice from a 16 year old father who doesn't know how to use proper sentences.

[browng-08]

Stephan, you're fifteen. 15. You're still a kid! FIFTEEN! Don't assume you know everything about this, and that the rest of us are just brainwashed by 'government propaganda'. You're not the only one out there with experience or 'research' with marijuana. I have no problem with people choosing to engage in drugs, but this is not the time. You have a kid on the way. A kid you have to provide for at the age of fifteen. Throwing marijuana into the mix is just about one of the worst things you could do. (okay, I exagerrate...)
You seriously need to look at it this way: what effect does marijuana have? Surely you don't believe the government made up the part where it obliterates your motivation? Cuts your long-term memory?
And yes, marijuana is addictive.

you are forgiven its not everyday an old man comes online wasting his life talking propaganda
in your sheltered life im sure you could go life times with no need to be anything but ignorant
but in the real world my 16 years are about 300 of yours

im sorry hard to take though s with no life EX serous and your a fool if you think i tell the truth about myself

[Gypsys Kiss]

I agree, its not addictive. I've been smoking the shit for years, and I can stop anytime.

Man, you certainly have an interesting view of things...
1. This "old man" has only been 17 for a month now
2. Don't make assumptions, I smoke pot myself
3. I'm not as sheltered as you seem to think I am
4. I'm not talking propaganda, I'm just saying that you shouldn't be smoking around an infant. It's kinda common sense that you shouldn't have a child inhaling smoke. Do all the research you want, my stance on that one isn't gonna change.

I agree, its not addictive. I've been smoking the shit for years, and I can stop anytime.

I'd agree that it's not physically addictive, sure, but it can be pretty easy to get mentally addicted to it, I've seen it a few times. Then again, just about everything can be mentally addictive...

You are living proof of the harmful effects.

Stephan:

I smoke mj fairly often myself, but I would never smoke around a little kid. While the effects themselves may be fairly harmless, the smoke is just as bad for your lungs as tobacco smoke, and little kids and babies are especially susceptible to lung damage from stuff like that. Also, being high or drunk when you're supposed to be taking care of a kid is called bad parenting. Though you may be fine personally, you aren't nearly as able to take care of a kid when you're stoned.

QFT! Even if you don't believe all the 'negative effects', you should be able to realize that being high when you have a kid to take care of is negligent parenting.

Sure, if you smoked three ounces of MJ a day, it would be bad for your lungs... but typically, you wouldn't do that even if you were a heavy pot smoker. That old story about how a marijuana cigarette being as bad ass 20 regular cigarettes is bullocks. True, being high around your kids is not a bad idea, but I drink around my kids... I actually would rather that they see a responsible approach to alcohol than no approach to it at all. My hope is that when they grow up and are offered alcohol at parties and the like, they will remember what it was like to watch me and think... yeah, maybe I can have a beer... maybe two.

...if you smoke or drink while pregnant, that's like the baby smoking or drinking. And that's really bad for the baby. Think about it this way: a lightweight person gets really fucked up with very little, right? Well, not only is a baby the _ultimate_ lightweight, the baby is still developing! Don't drink or smoke while pregnant, and don't support the mother of your child doing so!

A single joint is only about about as bad for your lungs as a single cigarette. So yeah, even heavy mj smokers aren't nearly as bad off as heavy cigarette smokers, because you use a lot less. And I agree with your assessment about drinking around your kids; it's fine as long as you aren't getting pissed drunk and treating them poorly.

But this is important, stephan: But you don't want there to be smoke where a newborn baby is breathing. bad, bad, BAD idea.

*mpffhhhh*

I'm sorry, I can't help it, that was just sooo funny.

Seriously, stop think that you know everything about everything just because you had some hard times and have smoke a couple joints.

Healthful. It bugs me a bit when the word healthy is mistakenly used instead of healthful. Look the two up.

wow how long have you been listening to government shit

the mother quit all drugs except weed so its all good there

It has harmful effects on infants. Why do you believe in certain research as opposed to others? Are you really so naiive as to believe in whatever you hear first? What makes you think the government is less credible than your sources you have? Are you willing to take that risk on your child?

There is no physical addiction, although nonetheless it's a mental thing where it's hard to say no. I smoked weed every single day when I was in high school senior year for a good 3 months and now I've smoked around 5 times this past entire year. So yes I know it's not addictive and I have no urge to go back to doing it - but that's not the point.

Besides the fact smoke is simply bad for your lungs, which NO ONE denies that (what's being denied is that it has any effects on the brain or physical performance, which is actually true, as it impairs memory after repeated use for a long-time [such as 10-year constant users] and reduces sperm count). So, even if you want to take the risk and deny all the harmful effects that your sources claim don't exist, I assure you it still is nonetheless has a negative effect on your lungs, which will be increasingly harmful on an infant's lungs.

You can't be that fucking stupid kid.

EDIT: I need to read hte entire topic before quotign someone as apparently what I've said has already been answered.
