Cannabis is a drug and should not be used – without exception – in pregnancy until its safety and efficacy is established.

Blow it out your ear. The era of marijuana hysteria has passed.

    It’s hysteria to make sure it’s safe before using it while pregnant? Wow you’re an absolute fucking idiot.

    You can smoke your weed, so can I, but you’re just being a total dickhead.

    Perhaps I should've gone into more detail:
    It's OK with me if pregnant women smoke weed, drink beer, stay up late, do or don't take pre-natal vitamins, or have an abortion. I shrug, whistle a happy tune, and do not care.

    I use weed lol.

    Drug isn't a dirty word, I apply this thinking to any and every drug, whether or not it's a "drug of abuse." If it hasn't been shown to be safe during pregnancy, then it shouldn't be used in pregnancy.

    And I agree wholeheartedly, so long as it's a doctor's recommendation and a public-service ad on TV and scolding from a mom-to-be's mother-in-law. When such advice becomes law, enforced by police action, it's lunacy.
