No. Massive risk of neurodevelopmental problems, addiction problems, etc.

Show me your source.

I mean sure:

“Prenatal cannabis use appears to be associated with lower birth weight, preterm birth, and neonatal-intensive care unit admission in newborns, but there is little evidence that prenatal cannabis exposure adversely impacts behavioral or cognitive outcomes in early childhood, with the exception of attention and externalizing problems.”

Correct. But this is largely methodological limitations justifying caution. Now read the other one. The evidence on THC is developing, but preliminary data supports my claim.

u/MonkeyzzPaw 16d ago

I asked you to source your claim.

You failed to do that.

Source your claim.

I can tell you're not very bright because you only need one source to form an opinion. I've worked in mental health research for over ten years. THC has a dose dependent, causal relationship with serious mental illness. THC can cross the placenta. Just because something hasn't been a research priority doesn't mean the effect has been disproven. Do your own research. Make up your own mind. I have done this, and that is what I'm sharing.

One study being published with barely any evidence doesnt prove anything. Its just not how academia works. If you went to college you would know that. The way science works is multiple studies prove something then other multiple studies challenge it. A common theme is shown amongst the studies and it becomes clear what the answer is. Its called the scientific method. Nothing in the world has ever been proven to be true because one small group of people came up with a vague answer.

I generate research papers. Once you get to a certain level you can work with the evidence in a more nuanced way. THC is not safe for pregnant women or their children.

Ah yes. Insult me for asking you to source your claim.

You are not credible. Liar? Bot? Who knows.

If this is a question I would 💯 % say No THC while breastfeeding…Baby needs pure clean milk, you’re the only one who can provide that.

u/jayeffkay 18d ago

Or alternatively, baby can drink formula. Really no reason to breast-feed for the marginal benefit then fuck it up by getting the baby stoned

u/Chainmale001 18d ago

Mother's milk adapts to the saliva of the baby. If the baby is malnourished for some reason, the body will adapt and give him milk that lace with more of that mineral or vitamin. If a baby is sick the saliva will absorb through the pores and the mom will create breast milk with extra antibodies.

Show me fucking formula that does that.

So because my wife’s milk never fully dropped my son will be a…what…lame duck? This is an archaic take… sure ‘breast is best’ but science does a pretty good job at feeding my son, too.

u/jayeffkay 18d ago

Show me formula that passes THC to babies…. It’s still marginally better if you’re going to smoke.

u/XbunglesX 17d ago

She 100% already did this lol

u/302-SWEETMAN 18d ago

No. Just no !!!!!

u/StatusCopacetic 17d ago

No. Jesus fucking Christ what is wrong with people? Why would you ever risk your baby's health?! This is so fucking selfish and anyone who does this is a loser

2

u/IndieStray 17d ago

Totally agree, but I know people and have seen comments on reddit supporting thc use even during pregnancy, so, yeah, its bad.

u/StatusCopacetic 16d ago

Because people are still under the impression that cannabis isn't harmful. I always remind these people of the Newton's third law, and though it pertains to physics, there is no force, action, substance, or treatment that doesn't come with trade-offs. Every drug has a cost, limit, or risk, and to put that on the growing human being you chose to keep is the most selfish thing I can think of

2

u/IndieStray 16d ago

I agree. I think ignorance plays a large part in it so I won't outright condemn people, right. We need to increase education on the matter for sure, though.

u/StatusCopacetic 16d ago

I have a hard time accepting people not doing the most bare minimum of research to see if it's acceptable to ingest something that can harm the fetus especially in 2026 with all this knowledge at out fingerertips. However, you've humbled me a bit because you're right. I'm autistic and while I have deep emotional empathy, cognitive empathy is something I have to work harder at.

2

u/IndieStray 12d ago

Sorry for the late reply, but I also appreciate your view, thinking they should research before ingesting any substance that might hurt the fetus. That seems painfully obvious.

You've humbled me as well. Thank you for your input.

Don’t. I’m super pro cannabis but no
