effects of smoking pot

I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.

The primary addiction to weed is a psychological addiction, the memory of the highs you once felt smoking pot always come back and make you want to try to reach that feeling again even if it takes you more and more pot to do this as you become more resistant to its effects. The smoking goes from a pleasurable action to a habit with little real benefit just a perceived one. To compound this many pot smokers have friends who also smoke and it becomes a social thing making it more ingrained.

Hi I am new here and i hope i am not breaking any rules but my question ia about what effects smoking pot (marijuana) will have on my son (20yrs old) who is diabetic. I am not 100% sure that he is doing this but am sure he has tried it at least once and i want to be able to give him all the correct information about the dangers he is putting himself in before i speak with him about this.

Women who smoke pot destroy the delicate lining of their babies brains. The child will have lifelong asthma The child will be nervous and cry often The child's eyes do not developed properly Their attention span is short For if you love yourself and your dear one who is depending on you for proper nourishment healthy living and joy do not rob your child of a good start.

It helps with pain for a time being and even a short amount of pain relief is worth it having Chiari. And like Selma said, it doesn't have the ill effects of narcotics. Smoking a whole cigarette gives me a massive headache though and of course smoking anything can make someone cough and with Chiari, coughing is no fun so maybe you could buy him a vaporizer.

It will get into your breast milk and effects the brain develop of babies. Pot stays in you blood a long time, smoking once it is traceable for at least two weeks. If you smoke regularly it will stay in your system for as long as 4 months. Another person posted about failing a drug test after she hadn't smoked for 6 weeks. I ask the lactation specialist for the exact specifics, i'm sure they get the question a lot.

ve gotten into pot very hard core.. Me and my man - all we did was smoke pot.. It was our bonding thing... We always had a good time.. I got pregnant and stopped smoking.. My boyfriend still smokes and there have been days where he doesn't smoke and I just can't stand to be around him.. He's got a depression problem as well. As much as I'd love him to stop, I know it isn't going to happen..

Hi, You should stop smoking immediately.

There are reports that smoking pot daily may increase the rate of fibrosis. I am not convinced of this but that information is out there. I would probably abstain if I were you. See: Daily Cannabis Smoking as a Risk Factor for Fibrosis Progression in Chronic Hepatitis C @ http://www.natap.org/2005/HCV/062705_01.htm And this: Daily cannabis use: a novel risk factor of steatosis severity in patients with chronic hepatitis C. @ http://tinyurl.

My son was smoking alot of pot everyday and he decided he wanted to be clean. He got rid of everything he had, changed his friends and went through several days, about 5, of w/d's. He's 19 years old and I'm proud to say that he's been clean for 2 months now. It wasn't easy and he said the worst part was that his legs hurt really bad and sleep was hard for a few nights. Make up your mind that you don't want this drug anymore and just do it.

s nothing particularly sinister about the effect of moderate smoking (tobacco, pot, etc.) on the natural attrition rate. If you're really into killing brain cells, alcohol is where it's at. and there is no medical evidence that pot is 'bad for you' other than making you a bit lazy ... oh and hungry... mmmmm brownies.... lol oh and the only long lasting effects that i know of is memory loss... and sometimes, thats a good thing....

Hi lexi. Welcome. While I would never advocate smoking while pregnant now, I did smoke with my first 2 kids. Today my oldest is a 3rd year law student in one of the best law schools in the country. Her sister graduated from highschool with her associates degree that che completed at the same time. She was 16. She is now working on her masters. Just a little reassurance.

I know that you need to meet certain criteria to be eligible and have the backing of a doctor. The only side effect of pot that I can think of is weight gain and dry mouth. But pot would have less side effects than narcotics and be less physically addicting. But that's coming from smoking it, I'm not sure about it in pill form.

I have hears people say cancer about lot yet have never seen known or heard of anyone out of hundreds of people I know that smoke pot. Nor have I seen respiratory problems. It's actually helpful for people who have asma so iv heard by my best friend who is a doctor.and many others. Myself I'm not a drug snob. Iv done all or them and done them very well. How I'm still alive is a miracle. Drugs all suck. I do appreciate your honesty about weed. Now I will go check out kratom thread.

"I think the reason transplant centers exclude pot smokers is because marijuana is an illegal drug. There is such a shortage of organs that I suspect that there is a desire to weed (sic) out as many candidates as they ethically can and pot is an easy exclusionary factor. " I'm in full agreement with Mikesimon. Mj has not been studied enough to know it's full effects, such as smoking, compared to edibles, tinctures, etc.

pot was addictiong for me but the side effects when smoking and when quitting suck. you start to become paranoid and a little psycho and maybe even aluittle suicidal while smoking. and then when you run out and dont have it. bang. you get irratated way too easy have mood swings like a ***** and then you do weird stuff. lol. its not good. best thing to do is quit ive been sober now for 3 months.

Typically this may not be the type of behavior you may associate with pot, but does anyone else out there have this same experience of being obsessed with cleaning and things being in an exact order after smoking pot or know someone who is like this? Please respond.
