I think medman was possibly thinking of the fact you lower your oxygen content in your blood levels temporarily when ever you inhale burning matter...?....
- A friend of a friends baby was born with cancerous brain tumors. Try as they may, the docs couldn't save it. Her obgyn told her had she not stopped smoking pot, the thc could have prevented this, or at least slowed it down so the baby could have been saved.
- My bff smoked through both her pregnancies. Both boys were straight A students, & way less hyper than most kids were. Now they're college students, still carrying that perfect gpa! Smoking relieves morning sickness. I'm now 60. Seen most of my friends smoke while pregnant, & I have to say, I've not seen any adverse effects from it, only positive ones.
- BTW, I don't have a uterus either...... they took it out just after my 24th BD. I'm what's known as a des daughter. (Diethelstillbestrol) . Its a drug that was given to pregnant women to prevent miscarriages (which it didn't), but what it DID do was cause a strange deformity in the female off spring... T- shapped uterus.
Sorry to hear that cat. At least your mom didn't inhale smoke while pregnant though huh?
There's something different about cannabis smoke that seems to not lead to tobacco smoke related diseases like cancer, heart disease etc. Some doctors think that it's partly in the way pot is inhaled.
Anyway, I couldn't force myself to read the whole spittin contest pages, so I may be passing on previously posted info. No need to argue about studies and such. Granny Stormcrow has already done all the research and gathered all of the studies on this subject and many other medical issues. Check her list. It's somewhere around here. maybe in the med forum stickies?
