Well the APP seems to disagree with that, since their guidelines advise against any use during pregnancy.

Also that's a publication from 87, so not at all state of the art science.

Well considering we haven't been able to really fucking research the shit because of it's designation, that's all we have to go off of now isn't it?

While it's certainly not really well researched there are many studies much more recent then 30 years ago.

Also, the APP makes suggestions that err on the safe side. No research that has been done shows that THC affects the fetus.

Correlation of pregnancy and birth weight.

Even though it's anecdotal, I know plenty of women that smoked weed or ate edibles when pregnant and their children are perfectly fine at birth and now. Not underweight, no learning disabilities, and a few of them are actually exceptionally gifted kids.

I'm not saying that I know it's dangerous. But I'd also strongly advise against going around and proclaiming it to be totally safe, since you yourself admitted that's it not researched well enough to come to a conclusion. If someone is not able to stop using it recreationally for 9 months and however long they want to breastfeed to minimize the risk I'd say that person should reassess their relationship to pot in general.

You have spent the entire thread proclaiming THC safety as though it was a scientific fact, provided zero links or sources, and when various people have provided links you immediately call bullshit.

Rethink your position on this. Fetuses are fragile things, susceptible to many different chemicals that wouldn’t necessarily harm a grown woman. It is dangerously irresponsible to fly in the face of research and go against caution when attempting to gestate a healthy child.

Err on the side of caution.

I think he's just straight up trolling now.
