I smoked while I was pregnant with my son.

I just wanted to share a little bit of my story with someone. I started smoking marijuana when I was twelve (12), which is no big deal in my family because we're half Cherokee, so it's just a normal thing to us. I am now twenty-two, I got pregnant when I was twenty-one and was deathly ill, I vomited every morning, noon and night. All day was a nightmare, I couldn't eat. I lost 15 pounds in a matter of two weeks because I was getting so sick. My doctor had home health come to my house and put an IV in my arm, they came everyday for a week and pumped me full of zofran and fluids but not even that helped! So, I told my doctor about how I have always smoked weed. She told me to try it, it wouldn't hurt the baby and it might help my sickness. So, I did. I smoked the next morning and I felt great! I was able to eat without getting sick, I was in Heaven! I smoked everyday until I was six months pregnant, I would have continued but I moved from California, where I had a perscription for it, to Texas where it's illegal. My son is now six and a half months old and he is the absolute smartest six month old I've ever met! He can say boob juice (he is breast fed and that's how he asks to eat), he says poop when he has a poopy diaper and he also says numnums when he wants baby food. He is so active! He has never had any health problems and he is happy as can be! I will never understand why people decide to put poisons into their bodies instead of something that God put on this Earth for us.
