Marijuana use

[Duck1967]

What are the affects of prolnged use of marijuana? Are there links between marijuana and birth defects?

But in all seriousness... Can marijuana cause birth defects?

It doesn't cause full-blown birth defects, but that doesn't mean it's okay to smoke if you're pregnant. Because the fact is that pregnancy and unnecessary drug use just don't go together at all.

Not only that, but with pot, there's some evidence that use during pregnancy could lead to unnecessary problems for a developing fetus, even raising levels of miscarriage and stillbirth.

That's because THC metabolites freely cross the placenta, where they interact with developing body systems.

Possible effects include lowered birth weight, nervous system changes, and delayed learning.

And if you're pregnant (or you're planning to be), risks like those are too real to disregard -- and too important to ignore.

I hope that answers your question.

Oh yeah, and I have a 9 1/2" member, and I've been told that it looks as big as a baby's arm, so I guess you could call that a birth defect.

Besides that, I'm perfectly norm...

Only problem I have is that I have trouble finishing senten.....
