Smoking Marijuana While Pregnant?
Question by Mrs. Jones: Smoking marijuana while pregnant?
NOT planning on it. I heard someone who was pregnant talking about it and it worried me a little. I’m not for or against it. I just want some FACTS so I might either get her to stop or just let it go. She is my friend and we are pregnant at the same time, I don’t want something to happen to her baby. I have heard both sides looking on the internet. Even something about a withdrawal-like cry after the baby is born???? crazy because marijuana is not addictive right? What are lies and what are not!!!! Fact is it is illegal so either way it could be bad if she got caught. I’m concerned for her health though at the moment…

Hm. Interesting question. For the most part, I wouldn’t recommend it. I’m not aware of any actual problems with it, but it seems to me that the baby should get the opportunity to start life drug free.
That said, I know someone who needed to smoke it while she was pregnant. It was absolutely the only way she could keep food down. After months of morning/afternoon/evening/middle-of-the-night sickness, she and the baby were at significant risk because there weren’t any nutrients in her system. The baby is gorgeous and healthy at this point, with no signs of any addiction or withdrawal.
The thing is, tell your friend that you’re worried about her. We all should be willing to listen to our friends – especially when what they’re saying is in our own best interest.

FAHRENHEIT 911-THE MOVIE-PART 1 BUSH’S COUSIN(WORKS FOR FOX) CALLS THE ELECTION 2000! – For most Americans, and for much of the global television audience, however, Bush was always either the presumed “winner” or at the very least, the likely winner. Al Gore was always seen as trying to either “catch-up” to Bush, or “overturn” the Bush victory. The Bush claim to victory always had the veneer of legitimacy while the Gore claim effused a certain stench. This perceived Bush victory, the perception that the horse race finally boiled down to one stallion breaking through the finish gate, was a network news fabrication. We saw it on TV. The networks called the election for George W. Bush, projecting him the winner — in effect declaring him the President Elect. CBS News’ Dan Rather boldly told us late on election night, “Sip it, Savor it, cup it, photostat it, underline it in red, press it in a book, put it in an album, hang it on the wall — George W. Bush is the next president of the United States.” The networks anointed a President and no recount of actual votes will ever be able to undo that coronation. The genesis of this call, and in particular the chronology of the ensuing echos are telling. The story began on election night at 2:16 AM. Fox News projected George W. Bush as winner of the Florida primary and the Presidential election. In a classic case of pack journalism that college professors will no doubt cite for years to come, ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN all followed Fox’s lead during the next four minutes, calling the election for Bush. The telling part of this …
