    I know that smoking cigarettes increases your risk of blood clots on birth control (especially if you're over 35, so I don't know if that even applies much to your friend), so I'm going to take a guess and say that if she was to smoke as much pot as tobacco (is that possible?) she could increase her risk for that. Not really sure; just putting two and two together. But since next to no one inhales a comparable amount of pot smoke to tobacco smoke, I'm going to say that there are no bad effects!

    I was thinking that there isnt any chemicals in the weed that could react with the hormones so it shouldnt make a difference. Thanks guys for the help!

    MYTH: MARIJUANA USE DURING PREGNANCY DAMAGES THE FETUS. Prenatal marijuana exposure causes birth defects in babies, and, as they grow older, developmental problems. The health and well being of the next generation is threatened by marijuana use by pregnant women.

    FACT: Studies of newborns, infants, and children show no consistent physical, developmental, or cognitive deficits related to prenatal marijuana exposure. Marijuana had no reliable impact on birth size, length of gestation, neurological development, or the occurrence of physical abnormalities. The administration of hundreds of tests to older children has revealed only minor differences between offspring of marijuana users and nonusers, and some are positive rather than negative. Two unconfirmed case-control studies identified prenatal marijuana exposure as one of many factors statistically associated with childhood cancer. Given other available evidence, it is highly unlikely that marijuana causes cancer in children.

    i'd be more worried about taking the bc than worrying about what would happen if i smoked weed and was on bc... bc is very bad for the body.. it takes it out of its natural processes... i'd worry more about the life threatening blood clots and such that you can get from using BC
