    I'm not sure I understand you, are you saying it's inhumane to smoke while pregnant or inhumane to not smoke while pregnant? If you've got links to studies that you've read, could you please share :D

    I'm looking for pros and cons :)

    Have you heard of FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome)? That is a very real, and negitive syndrome that some children develop when their mother drinks too much (sometimes ANY) alcohol while she's growing them. I know that's not what my OP was about but it's in the same general area (although not nearly as natural as MJ) and thought it might serve as a good example.

    I believe (and I think there's alot of science to back me up) that almost anything a pregnant woman puts into her body is carried through to her unborn child.

    I'm just interested in reading actual scientific studies that have been done on the children of women who smoked a little doobage while she carried them. I've googled and have come up with nothing.

    Peace

    the birth process is a very special one. its been designed over millions and millions of years.

    while weed may improve the life of those who are ill, it doesnt make a healthy person healthier. while our minds may be enhanced, thats very subjective and not really an issue of health.


    you must not mess with pregnancy. if there were a more efficient birth cycle then we would have it, the birth cycle is one of the most important parts of the animals growth.


    there is a reason you wont find an experiment on it because it is simply disgustingly evil to give any pregnant woman any experimental drug. you dont know what it will do to te child. you could kill it. it could come out normal. it could come out and live a life of an invalid. no one is in the position to foresee, so its just not done.

    then again you might find some statistics about the results of children born to mothers who smoked weed. but theyre probably the ones youve seen already and assume are biased

    Thanks you so much, that really is a great resource thread :D

    Hold your horses big guy, give me a chance to respond. For one, I'm simply interested in if there's ever been a study of this kind, and two, if you never persue things that don't directly affect you, you'll go nowhere, so keep your mind open and learn all you can about as much as you can and you'll go far :)

    Lets leave "god" out of this, shall we??

    This is completely off topic, just like almost everyother word you've said in this thread. Let me refresh your mind on what I'm looking for:

    And
    Some women are going to smoke weed no matter what while their PG (same goes for cigs) do you find it "disgustingly evil" to do a study on what's already been done??

    Is marajuana really "experimentel"?? I mean it's been around since the big bang right, when all the other herbs started growing wildly and naturally?? I'm sure most of our ancestors smoked regularly regardless of pregnancy or any other condition.

    Sorry, it was designed once, and has simply been duplicated over and over in the course of millions and millions of years.

    Have you read a study about that?

    I asked for studies not opinions.

    Now your ON topic, congratulations!! Although, I've said I hadn't seen any, so maybe you're on topicness is just a fluke??

    This was kinda my thinking too, smoke can't really be good for anybody.


    Meangreen, the links you gave me are just pages about the cherry bomb strain, doesn't have much to do with the OP, did you mean to pass along some other links?? If so I'd like to see them :D

    In order to study chldren being high in the womb the woman would have to be in a controlled environment ie smoking weed . the study would require her to smoke the weed. if she does it anyway then its her decision but doesnt make it the right one.
    by making an experiment your allowing the mother to perhaps interfere with her baby's growth.

    its an experimental drug because youd be experimenting with it, not knowing the outcome.

    I'm talking about an active study, one that would allow us to see what the effects are on the baby's development. if you just want behavioral studies then im sure the ones youve found are just that?
    now why do you assume all the negative studies youve seen on children who had doobage in the womb are biased?

    and i dont care what you think is on or off topic, my oppinion is something you should learn from. this is not your forum. Its everybody's

    ok if your christian, or some other denomination of god fearingness then why do you think gods perfect system of birth would be made better by the plant that the church scourns

    A, I'm not by ANY MEANS god fearing. That plays absoultly NO part of what I think/say/do.

    B, your right this is not my forum, but it is my thread. I asked for something simple, STUDIES, you come in here, spouting of nothing by your OT opinion.

    C,
    Dude, your reading words that I've not typed, I said this nowhere.

    Please, can we stick to the OP:

    What does god have to do with this? He said leave god outta this. God has nothing to do with science. He asked for a link that deals with marijuana and pregnant women. What does any thing else most of you had to say deal with the topic at hand.
