    She is 22 now, dumb as a post (love her but it's true), her eyes are screwed up beyond repair. She can see but is still considered legally blind. She'll never drive, she works but will never have a career or a well paying job.

    She will always have to depend on someone else, just because mom only thought about herself for those 9 months. :(

    That is why when people say there is no proof,there isn't because studies don't follow up.

    Now with the placenta testing in NY there will be a follow up of these kids and then someone will be able to say,conclusively that smoking pot is dangerous to the fetus .

    A drug is a drug is a drug!

    I smoke maybe a few times a week and no ill effects so I am not anti weed at all! Helps me sleep.Helps my pain,better than opiates.But not while pregnant!

    Of course, he can leave -- in a New York minute.

    Yes, we do -- life experience, it's called. And for some reason, I don't believe your story, but that's life experience at work again.

    all this over a simple question.

    Bull!

    I love it when the story changes once we start to question things.

    Now I smell a troll.

    You had to know we'd look at your previous posts, see that you think you're pregnant and then you ask a question like this, just because? I say again, BULL!

    Sorry, I don't buy it. I'm a mom, you can't fool me. I was also a teen, so you really can't fool me.

    Yes, as a group, we do know everything, that's why people come here to ask us questions.

    You asked, we answered, you argued, couldn't prove your point, we showed proof, but even after all of that you still want to argue.

    Done!

    I'm RIPing this thread. :(

    but I got my information from the internet.

    also watch the movie " the union."


    and another thing weren't women having babys at 14 way back when? so why does it matter how old I am?

    Yes, and the average life span was 40.That was considered old age.Again with the arguments that don't apply.
    The Internet is full of misinformation!
    At 17 you are at risk.If you don't know the risks you should have you Mom sit down with your OB and discuss them.

    I did not say you were right.
    I know plenty of people that have had health baby's and smoke. Actually on other places like this where people talk I've seen them say good things about it but hey its cool. Because I think its funny how every one goes straight to assume I smoke?
