Marijuana Myths, Claim No. 7  

Visit: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_myth7.shtml

MARIJUANA USE DURING PREGNANCY HARMS THE FETUS

A powerful accusation in anti-drug campaigns is that children are permanently harmed by their mothers' use of drugs during pregnancy. Today, it is commonly claimed that marijuana is a cause of birth defects and development deficits.

THE FACTS

A number of studies claimed reported low birth weight and physical abnormalities among babies exposed to marijuana in utero. 43 However, when other factors known to affect pregnancy outcomes were controlled for - for example, maternal age, socioeconomic class, and alcohol and tobacco use - the association between marijuana use and adverse fetal effects disappeared. 44

Numerous other studies have failed to find negative impacts from marijuana exposure. 45 However, when negative outcomes are found, they tend to be widely publicized, regardless of the quality of the study.

It is now often claimed that marijuana use during pregnancy causes childhood leukemia. The basis for this claim is one study, in which . 5% of the mothers of leukemic children admitted to using marijuana prior to or during pregnancy. A "control group" of mothers with normal children was then created and questioned by telephone about previous drug use. Their reported .5 % marijuana use-rate was used to calculate a 10-fold greater risk of leukemia for children born to marijuana users. 46 Given national surveys showing marijuana prevalence rates of at least 10%, these "control group" mothers almost certainly under-reported their drug use to strangers on the telephone.

Also used as evidence of marijuana-induced fetal harm are two longitudinal studies, in which the children of marijuana users were examined repeatedly. However, on closer examination, the effects of marijuana appear to be quite minimal, if existent at all.

After finding a slight deficit in visual responsiveness among marijuana-exposed newborns, no differences were found at six months, 12 months, 18 months, or 24 months. 47 At age 3, the only difference (after controlling for confounding variables) was that children of "moderate" smokers had superior psycho-motor skills. At age 4, children of "heavy" marijuana users (averaging 18.7 joints/week) had lower scores on one subscale of one standardized test of verbal development. 48 At age 6, these same children scored lower on one computerized task - that measuring "vigilance." On dozens of others scales and subscales, no differences were ever found. 49

In another study, standardized IQ tests were administered to marijuana-exposed and unexposed three year-olds. Researchers found no differences in the overall scores. However, by dividing the sample by race, they found - among African-American children only - lower scores on one subscale for those exposed during the first trimester and lower scores on a different subscale for those exposed during the second trimester. 50

Although it is sensible to advise pregnant women to abstain from using most drugs - including marijuana - the weight of scientific evidence indicates that marijuana has few adverse consequences for the developing human fetus.


Pregnancy - Prenatal Marijuana Exposure and Neonatal Outcomes in Jamaica: An Ethnographic Study Questions about medical marijuana answered by the Institute of Medicine's report “Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base”(1999) by the National Academy of Sciences (ISBN 0-309-07155-0). The full report by the National Academy of Sciences can be viewed on-line at http://books.nap.edu/html/marimed/

How bad is it for pregnant women to use marijuana?

"Several studies of women who smoked marijuana regularly during pregnancy show that they tend to give birth to lower weight babies. Mothers who smoke tobacco also give birth to lower weight babies, and the relative contributions of smoking versus THC are not known from these studies. ... Babies born to mothers who smoked marijuana during pregnancy weighed an average of 3.4 ounces less than babies born to a control group of mothers who did not smoke marijuana; there was no statistically significant difference in either gestational age or frequency of congenital abnormalities. ... However, Jamaican women who use marijuana rarely smoke it, but instead prepare it as tea. In a study of neonates born to Jamaican women who did or did not ingest marijuana during pregnancy, there was no difference in neurobehavioral assessments made at three days after birth and at one month." [Pp. 123, 124]

Isn't marijuana too addictive to be used as a medicine?

"Some controlled substances that are approved medications produce dependence after long-term use; this, however, is a normal part of patient management and does not generally present undue risk to the patient." [p. 98]

"Animal research has shown that the potential for cannabinoid dependence exists, and cannabinoid withdrawal symptoms can be observed. However, both appear to be mild compared to dependence and withdrawal seen with other drugs." [p. 35]

"A distinctive marijuana and THC withdrawal syndrome has been identified, but it is mild and subtle compared with the profound physical syndrome of alcohol or heroin withdrawal." [Pp. 89, 90]

"Compared to most other drugs ... dependence among marijuana users is relatively rare." [p. 94]

"Few marijuana users become dependent. ... Dependence appears to be less severe among people who use only marijuana than among those who abuse cocaine or those who abuse marijuana with other drugs (including alcohol)." [Pp. 96, 97]

"In summary, although few marijuana users develop dependence, some do. But they appear to be less likely to do so than users of other drugs (including alcohol and nicotine), and marijuana dependence appears to be less severe than dependence on other drugs." [p. 98]

Pregnancy - Prenatal Marijuana Exposure and Neonatal Outcomes in Jamaica: An Ethnographic Study “Prenatal Marijuana Exposure and Neonatal Outcomes in Jamaica: An Ethnographic Study” Melanie C. Dreher, PhD; Kevin Nugent, PhD; and Rebekah Hudgins, MA | Measurements and main results. Exposed and nonexposed neonates were compared at 3 days and 1 month old, using the Brazelton Neonatal Assessment Scale, including supplementary items to capture possible subtle effects. There were no significant differences between exposed and nonexposed neonates on day 3. At 1 month, the exposed neonates showed better physiological stability and required less examiner facilitation to reach organized states. The neonates of heavy-marijuana-using mothers had better scores on autonomic stability, quality of alertness, irritability, and self-regulation and were judged to be more rewarding for caregivers.

NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano, who authored the report, said: "The conditions profiled in this report were chosen because patients frequently ask me about the use of cannabis to treat these disorders. Ideally, with this report in their hands, patients can now begin talking openly with their physicians about whether cannabis therapy is appropriate for them."  Visit - norml.org/component/zoo/category/recent-research-on-medical-marijuana - for more.

The prevalence of cannabis use was 0.8%. Women using cannabis but no other illicit drugs were each retrospectively matched with four randomly chosen pregnant women in the same period and the same age group and with same parity. Eighty-four cannabis users were included. These women were socio economically disadvantaged and had a higher prevalence of present and past use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. No significant difference in pregnancy, delivery or puerperal outcome was found. Visit: http://www.a1b2c3.com/drugs/wom05.htm

"Hello, I am Monalisa. After being in relationship with my husband for years, he broke up with me. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much.

" CHICAGO -- The American Medical Association is pushing for warning signs about marijuana use during pregnancy and breast- feeding. Pot's potential harms include premature birth, low birth weight and attention problems in children. The AMA says warnings should be posted at dispensaries that sell pot and on packages of marijuana sold for medical and recreational use. The group adopted that stance at a policy-making meeting on Monday in Atlanta. The AMA will seek regulations to put those warnings into effect. Several states have requirements for health warnings on cannabis product labels, but the new policy says only Oregon requires a point of sale warning about use in pregnant or breast- feeding women. Oregon is among four states where recreational use is allowed. Medical use is legal in 23 states and Washington, D.C.

"Below are two links to the Merck Manual of Diagnostics and Therapy with a good discussion of drug use during pregnancy, including a long list of pharmaceuticals that are known to have "adverse effects". The sections on alcohol and tobacco are particularly scary, whereas all they have to say about marijuana is: " Marijuana:

Marijuana does not consistently seem to increase risk of congenital malformations, fetal growth restriction, or postnatal neurobehavioral abnormalities. However, women who use marijuana during pregnancy often also use alcohol, cigarettes, or both, which can cause fetal problems."

Merck claims that their manual is the most widely consulted source of medical information in the world (or something like that), and, of course, it is usually assumed that Big Pharma has a bias against marijuana, so it is a very credible source.

>> http://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/gynecology_and_obstetrics/drugs_in_pregnancy/drugs_in_pregnancy.html#v1073262

Beyond the pregnancy issue, the manual makes clear that marijuana is much less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco, and says something to the effect that most of the claims about its negative effects have not been verified. "

"First Woman Arrested Under Tennessee Law That Criminalizes Pregnancy Outcomes - Mallory Loyola was arrested and charged with simple assault two days after giving birth to her daughter In April of this year, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam acted against the recommendations of doctors, addiction experts, reproductive health organizations and nearly every national medical association and signed a measure that allows prosecutors to charge a woman with criminal assault if she uses narcotics during her pregnancy. Only a week after going into effect, the law has been used to arrest and charge a new mother with simple assault after she and her newborn tested positive for amphetamine, which is not a narcotic.

Opponents of the new law share a concern that a lack of access to health care — Tennessee is among several states to have rejected the Medicaid expansion — and treatment facilities will result in the disproportionate targeting and jailing of poor mothers and mothers of color, particularly in rural districts throughout the state.

“This law separates mothers from their children and is not patient-centered. Tennessee families who are already being hit the hardest by policies such as the failure to expand Medicaid, poverty and a lack of available drug treatment facilities will be most deeply impacted by this bill. Mothers struggling with drug addiction in Shelby County, rural communities throughout Tennessee and poor mothers and their families will be the ones who suffer the effects of this dangerous legislation the most.” >> https://portside.org/2014-07-13/first-woman-arrested-under-tennessee-law-criminalizes-pregnancy-outcomes "

"The reality is that, for moms who are patients, when a newborn tests positive for THC, the parents are supposed to be 'offered services' and that's all. I think, but am less confident, that the same is true for non-patient mothers. As a matter of policy, simply using cannabis is not in and of itself a reason to take a child, newborn or otherwise, from a parent.

" Unanimous New Jersey Supreme Court Decision Affirms that Drug War Propaganda and Junk Science Provides No Basis for Child Neglect and Abuse Finding Against Pregnant Women, New Jersey Civil Child Abuse Laws Do Not Authorize State Jurisdiction Over Pregnant Women; Drug Tests Are Not Predictors of Parenting Ability.

Today, in a major victory for New Jersey’s pregnant women and families, the New Jersey Supreme Court announced a unanimous opinion in New Jersey Division of Youth & Family Services v. A.L. recognizing that the state’s child protection laws do not give the Division of Child Protection and Permanency jurisdiction or control over pregnant women and that positive drug tests on pregnant women and newborns do not alone establish neglect. The court also acknowledged the concerns of leading medical and public health organizations that application of child protection laws to the context of pregnancy can undermine maternal, fetal, and child health.

In this case, a mother, identified in court records as “A.L.,” gave birth to a healthy baby in September of 2007. The New Jersey Division of Child Protection and Permanency (formerly the Division of Youth and Family Services) argued that positive drug screens for cocaine on A.L. and her newborn were sufficient evidence of harm or imminent harm to find that A.L. had neglected her child. A lower court and the Appellate Division agreed, not only finding neglect in this case but also declaring that New Jersey’s neglect law could be applied to the context of pregnancy. Today the New Jersey Supreme Court rejected these claims.

On appeal to the New Jersey Supreme Court, National Advocates for Pregnant Women (NAPW), along with Lawrence Lustberg, Esq. of Gibbons, PC, represented a group of fifty national and international medical, public health, and child welfare organizations, experts, and advocates including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Addiction Science Research and Education Center, and the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry. Amici in this case argued that the lower courts relied on popular misconceptions about drugs, pregnant women, and child welfare that lack any foundation in evidence- based, peer-reviewed research. --- Contact: National Advocates for Pregnant Women, 212-255-9252 -or- visit - advocatesforpregnantwomen.org "

"I am a medical cannabis grower and am 8 weeks pregnant. I quit smoking a month ago (the day I found out I was pregnant) but have continued to vaporize my weakest Indica strain (no White Widow for me!) only when the morning sickness and nausea become overwhelming. I have eliminated all drugs with the exception of vaping ganja and drinking an occasional cup of coffee (1- 2x/wk) which strangely seems to also help with the morning sickness, but I feel far guiltier over the coffee than the cannabis.

Caffeine, antihistamines, alcohol, and smoke of any kind (due to oxygen deprivation and combustion of any material causing the release of carcinogens) are all known to be harmful to a developing baby, but there is surprising empirical evidence in studies by Dr. Melanie Dreher that points toward ganja doing more good than harm. However, I am scared that even though I am otherwise legal to use and grow (my very fine and all- organic) cannabis, eating an organic diet and taking the highest quality fish oil and organic, food-derived prenatals that I will be listed as a child abuser if I admit my ganja use to my midwife at my first prenatal appointment in two weeks.

I've been unable to find any solid information pertaining to procedure in the State of Oregon for moms admitting to eating, smoking or vaping cannabis while pregnant. I already love my baby very much and don’t want him/her taken away by Child Protective Services. Any reliable sources on this subject would be most appreciated."

I am now pregnant with baby #2 and will continue to smoke marijuana regularly at least for the first trimester. I feel there is no harm being done to my child. If anything it makes me a better mommy and helps me keep my food down so my baby will get the nutrion it needs. "

"I am 5 months pregnant with my 3rd child. I did not smoke marijuana with the 1st 2 pregnancies, but have almost every day with this one. I did stop when I first found out I was expecting, but because my nausea and vomitting was so bad, my husband urged me to have a few pulls off his pipe. I felt so much better, and now depend on it when I am sick. I was concerned there would be dangerous effects to my baby, but after reading all these testimonials, I feel so much better. My baby kicks and does sommersaults, so I know he/she is doing allright. thanks. Amanda K"

"I have had 2 children and used marijuana both times. My childen are smart strong and their growth has been exceedingly excellent my six year old was 8 llbs and has only 1foot 3 inches to reach my height and 40 llbs to reach my weight. I was 17 when I had my son, he was 8 llbs as well after giving him up for adoption I was informed of him being the top student in his class and is very healthy.

I lost a niece at 3 weeks and supposedly momma never drank coffee and took every precaution she could but the results were still devastating. I think everyone is different and each person should do their own research to make a decision about continuing to use or not use medicinal marijuana throughout their pregnancy or beginning.

I am a medicinal marijuana patient before I got pregnant. I am lucky to eat once a day even with smoking. As for snatching your child, someone would have to make a report and doctors don't just start testing your baby after they are born unless you are severely drugged up on something harder than pot. With my daughter I was hooked an way worse stuff, caught a drug charge and when I found out I was pregnant at six months and weighed only 95 llbs I quit cold turkey. Right before she was born I weighed a wopping 170 and I am only 5'4

Like I mentioned she is the second smartest in her class and is amazing at everything. When I had her the police nor the doctors tested or did anything or even inquired about anything. i live in the states and that was my experience. Good luck to all and their decision making. I am making the same decision now but its hard to not use it because I would be depriving my unborn child of nutrition as I still have problems eating twice a day even being pregnant. "

" I'd just like to say that it is YOUR choice whether or not to smoke pot. Just consider it promotes low birth weight. It really does help with morning sickness and appetite though! I know plenty of people who smoke throughout their pregnancies and their babies are great! "

"I had horrible morning sickness and was throwing up about 12 times a day, I couldn't hold down water and it got so bad I couldn't even hold in saliva. I became dehydrated and became scared of miscarrying. My friend told me to smoke pot when I started feeling sick and it worked. I was able to eat and drink and felt great. And I had an easy delivery I was in labor 8 hours with 15 minutes of pushing and had a 8 pound baby girl. Who is very alert and learning fast, no problems at all. Thank you cannabis!

" how bad is it to smoke pot while breastfeeding?"

Enclosed below is input from FeedBack form
------------------
9/3/2006 - I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, who was 6lb 8oz. I carried exactly to my due date with no complications at all. My labor lasted an easy 18 hours, and only 20 minutes of pushing. My baby's health alertness and responsivness was exceptional according to doctors, who also were surprised at her strenghth, reflexes, and ability to see and follow with her eyes. She is now 6 weeks old and she is sleeping through the night. She doesn't cry when upset she squwaks, only when we aren't promt does she cry. She has control of her hands and can push herself across the bed. She can also stay awake for hours at a time during the day smiling and playing

I smoked pot moderatly (11-20 joints a week) Throughout my whole pregnancy, and still do while breastfeeding.

I give credit to marijuana during my pregnancy. I suffered no morning sickness and was walking 3 km and working the day before I went into labor. Not to metion I was walking and peeing freely after labor (I know you other mothers know what I'm taling about.) I gained 35lb, and she was 6lb 8oz which is average, plus who wants a 10lb baby? Plus i was wearing prepregnancy jeans 4 weeks later. I wish I were part of a study so that the positive affects were recorded so that maybe Others will come forward and admit to doing the same thing. I don't know about you but here we can lose our kids if Child services is notified. So it makes me weary advocating the issue. I almost want to smoke it just to prove a point and show them their wrong, But since i'm smoking it anyway I might as well quiet others fears. DON'T FEEL GUILTY SMOKING WEED, IT'S NO WORSE THAN SMOKES!
