Cannabis whilst pregnant!

[MorgansMummy24]

As if I have just been to the shops for some late night snacks (feeling ravenous) and there is a lady outside the shop with a man, she is quite heavily pregnant and clearly smoking a joint of cannabis! Im really angry! To think of the people who miscarry or cannot concieve! I feel sick to my stomach, rotten!

Charis are you a troll?

Say what you like about people who smoke cannibis but the wasting spongers who you are surrounded would be the same with or without cannibis; weed isn't the factor that makes them not want to get a job.

Also no, don't tell me that that I'm just going to have to like it because it's the truth. I've already told you I'm a successful 'vibrant' young person who smokes.....

Also drop the austism thing. The research isn't out there it doesn't exist.

You asked for a source on the horrific dangers of cannabis while pregnant, I've given you one. You want ore, look for yourself, there are thousands and thousands.

Not only about the dangers to unborn babies, but about the dangers to born babies and children and young people, not only about the link to cancer, brain tumours, impaired lung function, heart and eye malformations, behaviour and cognitive difficulties, (as if that wasn't enough) but to a whole range of other diagnosis resulting in the damage that cannabis does to the brain and nervous system.

Cannabis damages the brains and central nervous systems of feotus's babies, children and youths. No, it is not trolling to state these indisputable facts, you have to ask yourself why it is that so many people are so keen to brush it all under the carpet.

Mypubesarestraight - no offence, but your sister is out of her mind.

Charis, if cannabis causes cancer then why do they prescribe it to cancer patients in other countries?

Would you seriously take a drug prescribed for cancer patients when you are pregnant, or even when you're not, if you don't have cancer? The drugs my cousin was prescribed when she was dying of cancer hastened her death, ( although made her far more comfortable, I'm not saying it was the wrong decision)

What a ridiculous argument.

It isn't "prescribed for cancer patients" in other countries anyway. If a few cancer patients take it openly, or if it is trialled, that is not a treatment of any kind.

it was given to children with autism a few years ago by some loonies in this country. Those children have now grown up, and some of the accounts they give of the effects it had on them at the time are just sickening.

I'll say it again. The evidence of the devastation it causes to the central nervous system is overwhelming. People seem to think, o, only the nervous system, that is OK then. No it isn't. It might not leave visible damage, like a car crash might, but the destruction in the brain is very real.

Yet people insist of dredging up warped, biased old stories like "it is prescribed to cancer patients in other countries"

Again, why would people do that?

I'm not coming back to this thread, I've said everything I want to say, mostly repeatedly.

The fact is, there are no reasons what so ever for using cannabis, other than profoundly selfish ones, especially when you consider the teenage victims of people traffickers forced to produce it, the cognitive, developmental and behavioural problems it is causing in every school in the land, the cost to the country of benefits, medical treatment, etc the damage to families through relationship breakdown, mental health issues, etc.

Yet people still want to feel its ok to use, People like that have already made up their minds they are selfish enough to use it, and no amount of evidence is going to rock them out of their selfish behaviour, because they think they can always find some counter argument, even if these "counter arguments" are nothing but nonsense cobbled together by idiots trying to justify their own selfish behaviour.

Charis, before you flounce off, any chance of an apology for making up the autism/cannabis facts? Oh, and maybe you should research medical marijuana. You seems far more concerned about being against this drug, than accept there are far worse (some legal), drugs out there. A lot of people smoke cannabis, the actual facts are that alcohol is known to cause more damage.

Anyway, the main point of the thread seems to have been lost. Nobody's business why the original lady was smoking weed, no need to make up stories about autism.

indisputable facts

'Research suggests' and 'studies show' does not equal fact, never mind an indisputable one. That's the problem with most of the information online. So many studies have supposedly been done to prove the negative effects of smoking cannabis and yet they never include any information about these studies. The whole paragraph you pasted to prove your point is meaningless without knowing how they came to the conclusion that cannabis could cause all those things. They say studies show, what studies? On how many women and over how long a time? What controls were in place? Research suggests, what research?

How do you know the woman in question was actually pregnant, op?

She might be postnatal. She might have just had a late miscarriage. She might just carry fat on her stomach in that way.

Maybe this paper has confused Charis - "A Link Between Autism and Cannabinoids"
www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleNo/35088/title/A-Link-Between-Autism-and-Cannabinoids/

The title makes it sounds like there is a link between austism and cannabis, but actually the paper is about using cannabis to help with autism. They concluded by saying that "Alger added that, if the endocannabinoid system does turn out to be connected to autism in humans, medical marijuana could turn out to hold possibility for treating autism. But Südhof said that he did not know at this point whether marijuana would intensify or ameliorate autistic symptoms.".
