    I took this from: http://www.jackherer.com/pregnancy.html

    I love that you can tell a stoner translated it from the article because it mentions "alertness" twice, each in a different way. Haha.

    ​
    Comparing the heavily exposed and the non-exposed infants, the Brazelton clusters on day 30, showed that the offspring of heavy-marijuana using mothers had significantly higher scores on:
    - orientation
    - autonomic stability
    - reflexes
    - habituation to auditory and tactile stimuli, and to animate auditory stimuli
    - higher degree of alertness
    - capacity for consolability
    - less irritability
    - had fewer startles and tremors
    - better physiological stability at one month
    - required less examiner facilitation to reach an organized state
    - more socially responsive
    - the quality of their alertness was higher
    - their motor and autonomic systems were more robust
    - they had better self-regulation
    - they were more rewarding for caregivers than the neonates of non-using mothers at one month of age

    I love how everyone on here gets angry at "evil propoganda" but have no problem with one-sided half-truths when they're in favor of marijuana use.

    In summation: if you read that excerpt and then run to put a lit blunt in your pregnant mothers mouth thinking it will help the baby, you are retarded.

    No one is saying they would do anything like that, especially me. I simply thought it was interesting. Relax and stop being a jerk, eh?

    Also, it's spelled "propaganda". If you're going to criticize me you may as well spell properly while doing so.
