vaping mj once in a while?

Question

Hey there,
I wonder what your opinion is on vaping MaryJ a few times a month?
 I don't take any other medication and I don't have other bad habits.I find many positive points to MJ mainly helps my hunger and anxiety. Many of the studies are rarely relevant as they look at either junkie mothers or ppl who smoke the substance additionally they do it every day and many times. 
Just curious to see your opinions? pls don't criticize me, I just wonder.
Notes:
- We are talking of home grown bio substances
- a few times a month = 5 times or less
- babies are not tested in my country
- MJ is legal in my country
PLS be courteous you are 100/100 ok  to disagree and share your opinions let's just all be nice and polite.

If you’re not pregnant go for it! If you’re pregnant, don’t do it until you’re not pregnant and/or breastfeeding.

Answer

I don’t know enough about vaping THC to comment on its effects on pregnancy but I will say that you will likely be drug tested throughout pregnancy and the baby will likely be tested at birth. I’ve heard that once they start producing their meconium around 4 months, the THC will remain in their system until birth. So to me, it’s not really worth a call to CPS.

I really hate seeing comments about ‘the Jamaican studies’ on all of these posts. The Jamaican study was over 25 years ago. Now let’s consider the differences between pot of today and pot of yesteryear. Unless you are receiving medical marijuana, you cannot be sure of what your weed bought on the street is laced with...and it most likely IS laced with something for potency. Are you growing the weed in your house that is totally organic? If not, HOW CAN YOU ASSUME THIS IS HEALTHY FOR YOUR UNBORN BABY? I cannot understand why people bring this Jamaican study up as if it’s relevant to today to defend their actions. It’s 9 months people. You are homing an innocent little baby in your belly and it’s your responsibility to do what’s best! There’s a chance that nothing will be wrong. And there’s a chance that something will be. Do you really want to live with that regret for the rest of your life if some harm did come out of it? 🙄

Answer

Vaping no the THC concentration is way too high. I mean if you're going to do it make sure it's a low level THC like 6% but if you want to use concentrate keep in mind you're using product levels of 70-90% THC. 
I just quit because it wasn't my thing once I got pregnant

Answer

Hi cannabis is not yet legal in our country. It becomes legal mid October only, so any drugs your are likely to obtain before that are illegal, unregulated, and honestly who knows what's really in them. It would be too much of a risk in my opinion. If you think vaping is good option for you, speak to your health care provider and let them decide...not a group of random women on a forum!

Answer

I've been interested in this topic and have read through many of the comments.
The consensus seems to be that the scientific community just doesn't know.
My Canadian medical associations advise against, though they typically choose a better safe then sorry approach.
It comes down to risk. Pot smoking is a risk of uno nd severity.
You must then put that unknown risk up against why you would like to smoke pot during your pregnancy ( I'm not asking for that information) vs an unknown level of risk... :( it would be so much easier if there was more information available to you but there  just isnt.
It may be a very difficult choice or just a well darn too bad.  Though I would wager if you have hunted for studies and have asked on here that the choice has been difficult and the health of your baby matters very much.
I still think ( though you likely have already) to speak to a doctor to see if they can assist you find a low risk option to replace the pot, if your use is more medically intended then recreational.  
I do wish you all the very best and completely understand the frustration from lack of available information.
For whatever it is worth under the supervision of my doctor I hand intended to continue with my vyvanse.  I also chose to stop smoking pot, though my use was only occasional and recreational.
