Classical Values :: Mothers Drugging Newborns FOR MORE SOURCES PLEASE LOOK AT STORM CROW'S LINK BELOW THE FIRST COMMENT Basically, they're cannabinoids in breastmilk to help babies eat and sleep, and thats why we have thc receptors. Pretty interesting hahaha
Are there any other sources on this... That just seems like a sort of a blog.\tInteresting read though.

There is some serious debate about that very idea. Infant brains are not adult brains, so no one really knows.
It may come down to semantics- what is "high"? Where is the cut off between high and not high? What specific brain functions are we talking about? Because of prohibition, most cannabinoid research is "restricted". So many questions to be answered, and racist laws of the 1930s are stifling 2012 research! LEGALIZE IT, so we can find the answers!
That's what I was thinking to myself... What does it mean to be "high"?? What are the measurements for that and what do the measurements apply to anyways? Is it when a something makes you hungry? Or tired? Or is it more of a "feel good" type of understanding? I'll stand in the middle right now.
