I found out yesterday that my girlfriend is pregnant. We both make really good money, and even though it wasn't planned on my end.... We should be financially sound. I've been growing pot now for about a week or more. Should I stop growing?
There is no evidence that cannabis is, in any way, dangerous to be around, pregnant or not. As for growing itself, when a child is present, keep it under lock and key. No, you don't need to quit growing unless you want to.
I would, that's just me though. I wouldn't want my kid in this scenario to try bud. Then your kid might move on to hardcore drugs, ya know?!? Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity
I personally wouldn’t stop growing, it may be a good, extra source of income for your family. As long as your girlfriend is okay with it, it should be fine. IMO I would stop growing as your child gets older though, but that’s just me.
When you don't breed ignorance, intelligence is able to thrive. Weed is the holiest good known to mankind.
I suppose I’m looking at the repercussions for getting caught with a child in the home. It’s all personal use, but I doubt that would matter. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

Are you in a legal state? If so grow away. If not do what you think is worth risking. I don't want to go to jail, if I'm not growing I can't go to jail for growing.
Until there is a child, CPS (child protective services) won't be involved. Since you just found out she is pregnant, your plants should be ready to harvest before the baby is due. Now the bad news. The hospital MAY drug test your girl and the baby. If she tests positive, CPS could take your child! If she is using during pregnancy (cannabis is fantastic for morning sickness and reduces infant mortality - see the study below!), she will need to stop a month or so before the baby is due. The main source of harm from using cannabis to gestating infants is the CO2 and such from smoking. Yet even that harm is over-powered by cannabis as evidenced by this study.. Mortality Within the First 2 Years in Infants Exposed to Cocaine, Opiate, or Cannabinoid During Gestation http://pediatrics.aappublications.o...&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=640&resourcetype=HWCIT Where “Within the first 2 years of life, 44 infants died: 26 were drug negative (15.7 deaths per 1000 live births) and 18 were drug positive (13.7 deaths per 1000 live births). The mortality rate among cocaine, opiate, or cannabinoid positive infants were 17.7, 18.4, and 8.9 per 1000 live births, respectively.” Allow me make that even clearer, so there is absolutely no confusion- No drugs at all babies- 15.7 deaths per 1000 live births Cocaine-exposed babies – 17.7 deaths per 1000 live births Opiate-exposed babies – 18.4 deaths per 1000 live births Cannabis-exposed babies- 8.9 deaths per 1000 live births An online article that goes into detail about this study is “Pregnant Women Smoking Pot Could Reduce Infant Mortality” http://www.opposingviews.com/i/pregnant-women-smoking-pot-could-reduce-infant-mortality I'd grow this set of plants to maturity and quit until I could grow safely.

Wouldn't put stock in any of those articles "Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin' Tossed salad and scrambled eggs.."
Hon, cannabis users seldom go on to using "hardcore drugs"! Government has apparently dropped 'gateway' theory, marijuana critics should too (news – 2017) Government has apparently dropped 'gateway' theory, marijuana critics should too Both of my now-adult sons were raised with cannabis being around them for all of their lives. We grew it and smoked it. Neither of my sons use cannabis. They have tried it, but simply don't care for the effects! ( ) They do drink alcohol, but use no other drugs beyond allergy meds in spring or an occasional aspirin for sore muscles! Granny
I'm the only one that uses Cannabis in the household. Everything is also in the basement away from upstairs.
If you're not in a legal state I might be worried about getting busted now that you have a child that will be relying on you. Can't put food on the table from jail.
Could be frowned upon depending on where you live if people find out. But that’s up to you. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
As long as you are the only one using it, you don't get arrested, noone knows you are growing weed, and noone will be aware that you may have thc in your sytem or g/f's ,you're all set. Since you put it out there, I may be more concerned that she planned on being pregnant and you didn't. idk
