Question by Just Lisa: Pregnancy and marijuana?
I’m not pregnant, so do not rip me a new one particular. I’m just curious what sort of side effects smoking marijuana would trigger an unborn baby.
Is there any proof?

It’ll just be one stoned baby.
There has been many studies that all have proved that any type of drug or alcohol has many different side effects of unborn child. So if you know someone who is pregnant or trying to get pregnant and is drinking or doing drugs let them know that they are putting not only themselves but the child in serious danger as well.
Smoking marijuana during pregnancy may affect your baby’s growth and the development of his nervous system. Studies have shown that children who were exposed to marijuana during pregnancy sometimes have problems focusing their attention and solving problems.
Children of heavy pot users may also have problems with short-term memory, concentration, and judgment. (There’s no evidence so far, however, that marijuana use during pregnancy causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).
One study even found that young children whose mothers smoked marijuana during pregnancy had a higher risk of leukemia than those whose mothers did not.
What’s more, there’s no way to know if the pot you’re smoking has been laced with other drugs (such as PCP) or contaminated with pesticides, which would put your baby at even higher risk. And using marijuana increases the chance that your baby will have birth defects if you’re also drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.
