Over the past fifty years illegal drug use ( marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines, opioids and barbiturates) have reached epidemic levels especially among young people. That includes women of child bearing age who continue to party in the early stages of pregnancy and even throughout. No mammalian fetal neurological system was ever designed to deal with such toxicity. Is it any surprise that it is now estimated that 1 out of 40 newborns are born impaired?

While I don’t disagree that smoking pot is unsafe during pregnancy, understand that there is no lethal dose for THC-at least when smoked. Weed is not toxic. Not sure about extracts, but suspect it would take a nearly impossible amount to get to lc/ld 50.

Also not saying weed is hazard free. Neither is alcohol, which is toxic and obviously has an lc/ld 50.

1010’s-1920’s were a time of widespread narcotic addictions

In 1914, six years before prohibition of alcohol, the Harrison Narcotic Act regulated the production, import, and distribution of opium, even among doctors. Before that, opium extracts were widely distributed with “Miracle Elixirs”
