i used to smoke every day. I have four children and I smoked in between all of them. Basically marijuana showed up in all of my drug test during my first appointment with all of my kids. I have never had an issue with fertility. None of my children have neurological issues. Actually they are very intelligent. I’m not speaking for all women, but thank God I have had no issues. I also have a lot and I mean a lot of friends who are regular smokers who have multiple kids with no issues. Marijuana is a natural drug. I know things can be added to it but if you have a trustworthy source and a good product you should be fine. Not encouraging you guys to smoke. But this is a hard subject because you can’t study every woman in the world to see how their body reacts to marijuana. I am not a bad mother because I use marijuana. I deal with a ADHD ADD and it has helped me since my freshman year in high school to focus and accomplish things. I have never harmed my children or neglected them or chosen a “drug” over my children’s needs

fake! I am more than a regular cannabis user, this year I've smoked more than any other time in my life and just recently found out I'm pregnant and stopped obviously. so i don't know about ovulation or fertility decreasing due to heavy use of cannabis.

Cell membranes in the body are naturally equipped with these cannabinoid
receptors which, when activated by cannabinoids and various other
nutritive substances, protect cells against viruses, harmful bacteria,
cancer, and other malignancies. And human breast milk is an abundant
source of endocannabinoids, a specific type of neuromodulatory lipid
that basically teaches a newborn child how to eat by stimulating the
suckling process.

Isn't THC naturally occurring in mothers milk ?

Honestly, worst video I have ever watched. Total waste of 27 minutes, a lot of misleading information.
