Is it? Glad you are laughing at kids being born with health issues because Soros dumped billions into convincing Americans pot is not harmful.
They sold this as safe.

MJ shouldn't be smoked during pregnancy, but the pro-legalization crowd keeps posting things on facebook about how safe it is and how it doesn't have any negative side effects. Women are smoking weed during pregnancy because they've been tricked into thinking its completely benign in all contexts.
The study is rather laughable. A similar conclusion could be applied to just about any drug taken during pregnancy. Anyone that does drugs not prescribed by their doctor during a pregnancy is begging for birth defects and/or other issues.

Methinks pot is not the only thing at play here, and would be something else if pot wasn't around.

You can't prescribe common sense. Legalize it and put the responsibility on people to use good judgement.
And then force those who said "I told you this would happen" to pay for your high life.
That's awesome man.
In the meantime we become dumber because of the issues associated with pot.

I doubt it's harmless and, I suspect that other than fringe folks, most supporters of legalization don't think it is HARMLESS.

Now we will have to deal with the cost of Pot babies in healthcare and in education due to learning disabilities.

Every year since 1933. Could have written the same sentence. Non-point.

The title of your thread is garbage. Did you even read the article you posted? You should, as it does not support your thesis.

Well, hell, with such reliable sources, I can understand why they could be deceived.

No, it is.

So do you think it should be illegal? Or do you think it should be legalized so that packaging can come with warnings, like alcohol?

What the hell are you talking about? It should be approached the same way as alcohol, cigarettes, etc.
I haven't seen any suggestions otherwise.

From 2009 to 2016, marijuana use among pregnant women increased from 4.2 percent to 7.1 percent in Kaiser Permanente’s Northern California healthcare system.
That's remarkable. Only 2.9 percent increase in 7 years, with such a readily available supply and lax medical card enforcement.

Probably the same people who pay for the tremendous adverse health effects that high-fructose sweetened drinks play.
I'm sure you're all about banning soft drinks too so you can be consistent and everything.

How trashy do you have to be to get high while pregnant?

And just so we have a solid baseline to work from...
Per the CDC.
quote:
One in 10 (10.2 percent) pregnant women in the United States ages 18 to 44 years reports drinking alcohol in the past 30 days. In addition, 3.1 percent of pregnant women report binge drinking – defined as 4 or more alcoholic beverages on one occasion.
Per the CDC.

Nineteen percent of women 18 to 24, and 22 percent of teen moms screened positive for marijuana at eight weeks gestation.
Pot stays in your system if you're a regular user for 6-8 weeks. Most teens aren't going to even know they're pregnant for a month. So screening positive at 8 weeks doesn't exactly show a trend that mothers are knowingly smoking pot while pregnant. And pot is far less dangerous to a fetus than alcohol.

If this is an example of non-pot-head logic, then I need to start smoking, eating, snorting, injecting, vaping, and patching THC immediately.
That's your choice,but don't expect other people to pay for your retarded kids.
Look,we have heard for years " pot isn't addictive and has no bad side effects". Did these girls wait until they got pregnant,to start smoking weed? I doubt it, they just can't stop.
Most women will quit smoking cigarettes,quit drinking alcohol,when they suspect that they are pregnant,because it is widely known that these are harmful.
Pot smokers though,refuse to believe that weed is harmful in anyway. They convince themselves of that,because they love smoking weed.
People who drink,and use tobacco,they all know it's going to hurt them. There is no question.
This is why weed is dangerous.Somehow it causes denial in the user's brain.
I know a lot of pot heads,including my 2 brothers, I hear all of their rationalizations.
I drink sometimes,sometimes too much,but at least I acknowledge that it is bad for me.

I'm guessing the argument they're trying to make is that it's more readily available now, although it was never difficult to acquire pot prior
