If cannabis was legal, the warning label would probably read: "Do not operate a vehicle or heavy machinery". Being stoned leads to a slight impairment of psychomotor and cognitive function.

Yes and no. This has been a persistent myth for over 40 years but it actually does have some basis in medicine. Basically the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, THC reduces lutenising hormone (LH) in the genitals. LH triggers ovulation in women and is involved in sperm production in men. Result: a short-term (four to five hour) decrease in reproductive ability. Long term cannabis users, however, build tolerance to this effect and are immune. (1) See similar questions...

No, drinking during pregnancy is dangerous. Alcohol can have a number of harmful effects on the baby. The baby can be born mentally retarded or with learning and behavioral problems that last a lifetime. We don't know exactly how much alcohol is required to cause these problems. We do know, however, that these alcohol-related birth defects are 100-percent preventable, simply by not drinking alcohol during pregnancy. See similar questions...

Yes, as a matter of fact, breastfeeding is strongly recommended if you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Women have a much better chance of keeping their blood sugars normal if they breastfeed as well as delaying or preventing Type 2 diabetes from developing. In addition, breastfeeding reduces the risk of obesity and Type 2 diabetes in the child. Again, breastfeeding is very important and strongly encouraged. Diabetes and high blood pressure are caused by many factors. See similar questions...

The FDA has classified Cipro as a type C drug. The effect that Cipro has on an unborn child has not been studied extensively in humans, but has been shown to increase bone development problems in animals. Notify the prescribing doctor immediately if you become pregnant while taking Cipro. Cipro is not recommended during breast feeding as it does pass into breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. Antibiotics kill off bacteria in the body. See similar questions...

The active ingredient THC is detectable in the urine after 48-72 hours in a one-off or occasional user or up to 6 weeks in a heavy user. I only smoke a few draws of cannabis, maybe a whole joint but that 's it. Will this still be detectable on a drug test Yes. Blood and Urine tests involve detecting microscopic amounts of THC (the main psychoactive compound in cannabis) and THC breakdown products so even a few draws or just a whole joint of cannabis would still be detectable.

However, there is no firm evidence that cannabis or THC can stunt, impair or damage a baby or their growth. See similar questions...
