NEW: US surgeon general issues a “national alarm” for pregnant women and teens about marijuana: 'This ain’t your mother’s marijuana.'

, noting substances from the drug can reach the fetus by crossing the placenta.

When THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high, enters the brain of the fetus from the mother’s bloodstream, it may disrupt the endocannabinoid system, which is important for a healthy pregnancy, the new surgeon general’s advisory warned.“What you’re doing by smoking marijuana is basically disturbing a very carefully orchestrated process by which the endocannabinoid system and the brain responds to stimuli and creates new connections. That’s why the concern,” said Dr.

Other possible risks of marijuana use during pregnancy include babies that are smaller at birth and stillbirth, ACOG noted. Health experts have been warning about the consequencesAmong adolescents, marijuana is the third most commonly used illicit drug, behind alcohol and e-cigarettes, Adams said.

All these media campaigns by the western establishment against marijuana and none against alcohol. Every day 'news' how bad it is cause you are biased ideologists and paid by alcohol and pharma lobbyists who rather want to kill the people with opioids and psychopharmaka.

It lowers your IQ and gives you psychosis. Thankfully my state wasn’t dumb enough to legalize it.

Kids and pregnant women shouldn’t smoke anything. This is common knowledge. Stop amplifying bs from a corrupted SG office. Ridiculous that this is what they’re wasting their time and resources on (will pretend it’s not written by special interest lobbyists with an agenda)

No, it's not, despite what they tell ya, It's much Weaker.

We do not care what you say.

Right because the drugs they pass out are good for you or the baby

In other words: Uncle sam didn't grow this pot or market it as a drug so don't touch it. once they get their hands on it and commercialize it for 'medical use', then you can have all you want, at the discretion of your doctor of course.

Please refrain from alcohol use during teenage years and while pregnant.

Ohhh noooo... Reefer madness trump version.. Gtfoh

MorianTina Honestly, I can’t believe anything that comes from this administration

Vaccines have harmed and killed more babies than weed. If you want to die from weed it has to fall out of the sky and hit you on the head. Then watch out the sky is falling.

Cannabis oil cures lung cancer and COPD. I gave it to my cats so they would sleep at night. If I had a baby I would give it to the child for any ailment over chemicals. Weed is a plant. Jesus used the oil until the Romans killed him and now drink his blood on Sundays. Herstory

Eykis “This ain’t your mother’s marijuana”?

How does the surgeon general feel about alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, over the counter drugs, sugar, chemicals & additives in fast foods, gmo vegetables, round up, & countless other things that are way more of a threat to humans but decriminalizing weed might lose big pharma money

Zunndraii Reefer Madness 2019~

Anyone that says we did not have good weed fifty years ago is either too young to know, or just plain WRONG. There was less of it on the streets and it was more expensive, but it was as good then as it is today.

IDK. My mom never shared her marijuana with me.

Thank God! Mom’s weed was garbage.

States and countries who have done so will regret legalising cannabis. Just wait till mental health problems skyrocket.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not the best choice of words from them, considering....

I'm surprised that in 2019, you still have to tell pregnant women not to smoke marijuana JayPealer

why is anyone smoking pot when they are pregnant? I mean this just makes no sense Temporary enjoyment of pot versus a baby who might have health issues and need your care for the following entire life? Just abstain seriously Why risk it

The same liberals who want tobacco outlawed are cursing the surgeon general on this

I’m sure my aunt would of preferred my cousin smoked weed instead of becoming addicted to opioids after a surgery that ultimately took her life.

I take offense that statement. I smoked very good pot when I was young

Kinda odd word choice considering....

Iran has secret weapons that could 'punish the enemies in the furthest points,' general claims'They would appear when they are needed to strike a tough blow to the enemy,' General Mohammad Hossein Dadras warned. RaniaKhalek Well, it's 'farthest' if they mean an expression of actual distance, whereas 'furthest' is an abstract figurative sentiment... so, unless they're in nothing more than the midst of some literary flourish, they probably mean 'farthest.' And we have a man who thinks he is 'the chosen one' living in our White House.
