Some of you people need to get off of your high horse. (smoking pot is illegal) so was drinking during prohibition and I bet you don't have a problem drinking an occasional glass of wine, while I'm at it speeding is also illegal. Don't get me wrong it isn't cool if you smoke it in the same room as your kids. But to all you judgmental asses out there you all have your vices, so don't slam people that ask questions.
Spend more time with your children and less time on forums.

I, myself grew up around pot smoking hippies all my life. As did many of my peers. You see I am a Human - and Humans use drugs. Some of us like to delude ourselves that we don't. But if you are taking any prescription meds of any kind you can be sure that the side effects of said drugs are just as destructive if not more so than many natural herbs and remedies available. Note doctors and nurses regularly prescribe oxycodone to nursing mothers as a pain med for post delivery trauma. Oxycodone is also known as hippie smack because of it's prevalence as a recreational drug in those circles. It has many of the same effects as heroin, because it is a narcotic. In fact just about all prescription pain meds distributed today are derivitives of synthetics based on the Opium poppy. Now god knows that best thing for everybody is to be drug/alcohol/tabacco free. But we do live in a world fraught with chemical danger, the most harmful of which is a direct result of the lawn care and automobile industry. Did you know that the average American has over twenty times the amount of the "round up" in there blood than is allowed by the EPA. Did you know that we each are also exposed to several hundred times the amount of Dioxine and and other waste products associated with plastic manufacture and oil refining processes. These chemicals are carcinogenic in very small quantities, yet not a day goes by when tons of round up isn't sprayed on you or your neighbors lawn. It's in the fish in the lake, the river it's on your dogs hair every time he rolls at the park. Who pets the dog, who plays in the grass, why junior of course. And why do we do this - to ward off deadly dandilions!? Did you know we create roughly forty billion tons of plastic product every year in this country alone. Did you know that just living in LA or Pheonix, or new york or chicago, or any big city with cars and industry is the rough equivalent of smoking 3-7 cigarettes a day. Not to mention the mercury present in all seafood and lakes, streams and rivers, which is without a doubt incredibly damaging to an infants or a feti nervous system. So before you get on a high horse over pot smokers you might want to consider all the other factors that contribute to unhealthy babies, and unhealthy society in general. Factors like where you live and what you do for lawn care and pest control can be far more dangerous than second hand pot smoke. My sisters kid has asthma - no family history - lives in pheonix - coincidence? Nope. Look at asthma rates around any major city - they are double to triple rural areas. Be afraid be very afraid, but don't be afraid of pot smoke unless you live in a f*****g bubble - and get back in your big pollutant spuing SUV and go get some Round Up and Raid and black flag mix into a cocktail and serve to the environment around your house. Oh wait you already did that. Nevermind.

mann you people need to calm down!! She is not a bad mother for asking. Hey at least she is f*****g asking instead of just going on and doin it without knowledge. Until uve been through labor and had to take care of a baby you dont know what stress is! So stop being so hypocritical. Im sure u have the same question. Maybee not about pot but questioning weather or not to take asprin for a headache while breastfeeding. So should you be called unfit because you are thinking of quote: "Using drugs while breastfeeding" dont you know thats a terrible decision?? Jesus people Honestly step off and leave the oor girl alne for asking a simple f*****g question! Just cuz she asks dosent mean she will do it.. thats why she is askng. DUHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I honestly do not see the big deal with smoking pot OCCASIONALLY while breastfeeding. Pot is natural, and it could be alot worse. It's not like i'm sniffing lines here and there or injection sh*t into me. you people are way to judgemental. And people are testing to see if pot is bad while breastfeeding but so far they havnt come up with any proof that its bad. So you guys can think what you want. The occasional hit here and there is not going to kill your baby. I know many people out there do it and there babies are fine.

we are not bad mothers if we want to smoke pot. im just trying to find ways so that i can have a little fun and keep my baby healthy. i dont drink i rather smoke a bit of pot then drink. i know alot of mothers that smoke pot some because they needed to. there doctors told them yes. i just want to know if you can pump and dump like you can if you drink. none of you are helping for calling us bad mothers. many mothers do very hard drugs. if you think about it pot isnt that bad. iv heard pot is better then smokes. so like i said instead of calling us bad mothers maybe try and help us.

here are 3 reliable sources on the subject:

last year the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology published results of a study involving more than 12,000 women that looked at the association between using marijuana before and during pregnancy and the outcome of pregnancy. The researchers found that five percent of the women reported smoking marijuana before or during their pregnancies. Those who continued to smoke marijuana at least once a week before and throughout pregnancy gave birth to babies whose birth weights were slightly lower than the other women's babies although the difference wasn't statistically significant. There were also no statistically significant differences in the birth-length and head circumference of the babies born to the women who smoked pot. Based on these observations, the researchers concluded that smoking pot during pregnancy wasn't associated with increased risks to the babies.

Comparing the heavily exposed and the non-exposed infants, the Brazelton clusters on day 30, showed that the offspring of heavy-marijuana using mothers had significantly higher scores on:
- the Orientation cluster
- the Autonomic Stability cluster
- reflexes
- habituation to auditory and tactile stimuli, and to animate auditory stimuli
- higher degree of alertness
- capacity for consolability
- less irritability
- had fewer startles and tremors
- better physiological stability at one month
- required less examiner facilitation to reach an organized state
- more socially responsive
- the quality of their alertness was higher
- their motor and autonomic systems were more robust
- they had better self-regulation
- they were more rewarding for caregivers than the neonates of non--using mothers at one month of age

_______________________________
Doctor Melanie Dreher did ethnographic studies in Jamaica which examined the lifestyles of mothers who used ganja and mothers who didn't use ganja, and compared behavioral characteristics of neonates from both groups in the first month of life. She later went back and looked at the children with a five-year follow-up study.
Dr Dreher:
My studies are among the few which actually measured how much ganja a woman has consumed. I wasn't sitting in a clinic somewhere divorced from women's lives asking them how much marijuana they'd used - my research team is in a community and in the field where we can observe these women and check out their reports. We know how much ganja, and what type and potency, they are consuming. We had ways of verifying the amount of ganja they consume; neighbors would come and tell us what was going on, so we could compare that to what we had been told by the mother. We had a setting in which we knew that the women were only exposed to marijuana. We knew what our test subjects were doing and this gave extra credibility to our work.
American drug use often takes place without cultural rules and in an unsupervised context. The Jamaican women we studied had been educated in a cultural tradition of using marijuana as a medicine. They prepared it with teas, milk and spices, and thought of it as a preventive and curative substance. Smoking it during pregnancy was a way of relieving nausea, increasing appetites, combating fatigue and depression, providing rest and relaxation. Some of these women were in dire socioeconomic straits, and they found that smoking ganja helped allay feelings of worry and depression about their financial situation.
Our testing showed that the children of women who used ganja had better alertness, stability and adjustment than children of women who didn't use ganja. This was measured at the age of one month. We measured children again at four years and at five years of age, and found that there were no apparent deficits in the children of marijuana-using mothers. In fact, in many ways, they were better off than children of non-smoking mothers. The ganja-using mothers also seemed better off than non-users.
@: Since these results contradicted the hysteria of drug war assertions, did you find it hard to get your studies published?
I insisted on publishing in a medical journal - I wanted the academic community to understand that the jury was still out on marijuana and that's why we do cross-cultural studies to determine how drugs really affect people. It isn't logical to look just at one culture's problems with a drug and conclude that that's a universal situation.
The medical community needed to see that these results, which came from very solid research methods, were far different than what they are usually exposed to. They needed to see that women who smoked marijuana are not bad mothers. I am so damned sick of picking up a woman's journal or a tabloid and seeing some article saying that if you smoke even one marijuana cigarette during pregnancy you are a bad mother and you're doing permanent damage to your baby. There's no evidence to back up these warnings, and in my studies the evidence points in the other direction.
@: It sounds like you're frustrated about the influence of politics and inaccuracy in the reporting of marijuana research findings.
I just want researchers to use good research methods and to tell women the truth. I think these hyperbolic warnings about marijuana and pregnancy have made women absolutely nuts.
I got a call from a woman who was in tears because she and her husband had waited several years to adopt a baby and finally she had found a baby to adopt, but somebody told the couple they couldn't adopt the baby because the baby had tested positive for marijuana. "Oh for god's sake," I said, "Go adopt your baby. Love your baby. Your baby is going to be just fine."
Now they're talking about charging women with child abuse if they test positive for drugs during pregnancy. It's a slippery slope. Where's it going to stop? Are we going to arrest women for sitting on the couch eating junk food watching television during pregnancy? We are on the way to the Stepford Wives.
So one of my goals with this research was to get the message to physicians: so women smoke a little marijuana - big deal. Let women enjoy their pregnancies. If there's something seriously wrong with their baby it would have occurred no matter what - marijuana or not. Things have gotten so strange in regard to babies. We have to have the perfect baby and if not, well somebody or something has to be blamed. It must have been a whiff of paint she smelled, or a glass of wine, or a cigarette, or a draw of marijuana... It's ridiculous.
@: Can you comment on the issue of crack babies?
I have tended to be vary skeptical of crack baby findings. I have studied cocaine use in Jamaica, and have studied children exposed to crack pre-natally who are doing fine.
I think the problem with crack is what happens after birth. The babies are often abused by mothers or others in the home; cocaine is just part of a terrible environment. Ironically, Rastas are the only group who refuse to participate in the cocaine trade. They think it's poison. Women use ganja to kick cocaine withdrawal; they use ganja during cessation to get enough of a comfortable anti-depressant feeling so that they don't have to use crack.
Some start using what they call a seasoned spliff, which is a marijuana cigarette seasoned with crack. Having the pot in there seems to relieve the precipitous drop from the crack high to a paranoia which would otherwise force them to smoke crack immediately again. They are high enough on the pot and the crack drop doesn't make them crazy like it would if they were using crack by itself.
The American government's approach to cocaine and ganja in Jamaica has been very counterproductive. The DEA finds it easy to see and go after ganja fields, but almost nothing is being done to stop cocaine, which is ravaging the country. Its very sad.
@: I heard that political pressure influenced your subsequent research grants and the academic journal that you were going to publish your findings in.
It did take us a while to get published. We had to do revisions that I thought were unnecessary. It would be hard to classify the request for us to do revisions as politically motivated. I just thought that these people who wanted the changes made haven't got a clue about Jamaica or ethnographic research. They went on vacation once to Jamaica and drew some incomplete conclusions.
I felt that the revisions suggested were often based on ignorance of Jamaican culture and prejudice against ganja. The same problems were evident in letters that the journal received after publication. The letters contained unfounded criticisms, and I had to explain that I was doing anthropological research that nobody else was doing. I wasn't measuring physiology with test tubes. I was measuring behavior, reporting how these women and their children acted.
These babies are doing great. It wasn't necessarily due to marijuana, but pot-smoking mothers were apparently good mothers and the marijuana didn't appear to be hurting the babies. I have said repeatedly that I am not recommending that you smoke pot to have a healthy baby, but I am saying let's not castigate women who use a mild substance during pregnancy.
After doing research in Jamaica funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) from 1988 to 1991, I submitted two follow-up proposals in 1993 and 1994 and got news that never ever do they want to see those proposals again. They had done one of the worst reviews of a proposal that I had ever seen. Really weak.
I thought I should call NIDA and tell them this shows a lack of understanding of any type of unbiased research on the issues involved and what we're trying to do. It was a damning review, misguided and misinformed. I have to think that this was due to a political consideration, not an honest review of my work.
I'm 55, in my 15th year as dean, I testified in a trial and the prosecution brought out that I was once on the board of NORML, and involved with a group called POT (Patients Out of Time) and wrote an article for a medical marijuana book. So what? I am a good researcher. Nobody knows more about marijuana use in Jamaica than I do, and I am prepared to speak about that and don't care what people try to do against me because of it. I felt that this last denial at NIDA was motivated by anti-pot ideology, but since that time I was funded by the National Institute of Health.
@: Has your career suffered because you've objectively researched marijuana? Do you feel you've been persecuted because of your research?
There may well be persecution, but if there is, I don't obsess over it. I'm a very good dean and highly regarded in the nursing and academic communities. Somebody asked rne if I was worried about DARE coming after me, and I thought: Isn't that the organization that gets children to report on their parents?
I am going to continue doing good research and disseminating the results. Am I worried about persecution? Well, I have a secure academic position and could be a nurse again if I had to, but some of these researchers haven't got something to fall back on so they have to please NIDA and find what they're supposed to find. To a large degree, the politicization of such research has corrupted the research process. I'm never going to be a part of that.

I am a new mother of a 3 month old and I quit threw my pregancy. I was a very heavy smoker. My family smokes and last night I smoked two joints between 5 people. I beastfeed and love it, how many days should I wait until I start beastfeeding again. I have had my share and will not smoke again until I am done beastfeeding but I want to resume. Please someone help me, I feel like sh*t for what I did even though I KNOW i am a GREAT mom!
Loading...
I am a new mother with a 3 month old. I quit pot during my pregancy and I breast feed, but last night I smoked 2 pencil sized joints / as long as a half a pencil between myself and 4 family members. I want to continue breastfeeding and wish I never had smoked. How many days should I wait until I breastfeed again. I am not going to smoke again until I know I am no longer going to breast feed her and regret doing it, but I know I am NOT a bad mother, I am a GREAT mother! Can someone please help me?
Loading...
I am a grandma that has done it all and have been clean and sober for 20 years. I never drank or did drugs while pregnant or breastfeeding. Now i have to watch my daughter in law smoke pot daily while breastfeeding. She just started doing this after the baby was 3 mos. old. WHY! We have all tried talking to her because who really knows what baby would be affected and which one won't. If you love your children then love yourself enough to be good moms. As a rule of thumb if you are high then so is the baby. You don't eat spicey foods, or take certain meds while breastfeeding. So how can women decipher that pot is ok? Just use formula for gods sake. It's selfish and I'm sick of women putting themselves first. Don't have kids if this issue is to hard to decide on.
Loading...
Marijuana is not a narcotic although cigarettes and alcohol are. THC is not harmful contrary to what many think. I recommend if you would still like to get high while breastfeeding to not smoke it. Smoke IS harmful on the other hand, the best way for you to "get high" ( and most tasty way =) ) would be something like what you might call a Ganja Treat. Mmmm Mmmm good, preparation does take quite a bit longer but the amount you need to ingest afterwords to experience the effects is reduced by quite a bit. (About .1 of a gram per person) The effects are not immediate, about 30-60 Minutes depending on the person but this will not harm your child while breast feeding. Or buy a vaporizer, totally worth it and completely pure, no smoke at all a.k.a. NO LUNG DAMAGE. Marijuana does not kill brain cells, is non addictive, increases apatite in terminal patents. If you want to get pissed off about something that hurts people talk to your government. Every drug they prescribe you has side effects. You know when you see those commercials and they say it'll help your headache but it may cause respiratory, liver, kidney, heart, or brain damage. I've also seen some that cause anal seepage. Like WTF who wants that. When you could smoke a J and be OK. The only side effects of that would be hungry, happy, and sleepy. Also MINOR lung damage. Unless eating it. Makes great Christmas cookies!

i medicaly dont know the effects on pot with children, but i feel it has helped me out, i am only writing because my wife has ppd and thought it might calm her emotions if she took a hit off a joint every once in a while

8-| oh man, I wanna crack up at some of these angry replies! Moms who choose to smoke pot should not be critized as bad mothers. In fact, since I live in the marijuana capital of the US, I know ALOT of women who smoked pot through out their pregnancy and their children were very smart, very healthy, and perfectly capable children. I'm not sure that breastfeeding and smoking is a good combo because THC is stored in fat and that is a key ingredient in breast milk. =/ But used only occasionally, will doubtfully be harmful.
PS
Marijuana is significantly less harmful than alchohol in all aspects. It even has positive medical effects if used responsibly. Comparing it to drugs like coke, or even cigarettes, is really ignorant. Do your research (with a grain of salt considering pharmaceutical companies want people believing pot is dangerous) and you may be suprised to learn that marijuana is very contraversial and it probably shouldt be illegal at all! =p
