1. From my understanding teh THC molecule is too large to pass the placental barrier

and thus poses exactly zero risk to developing humans. Ergo, it's no more dangerous to use for a pregnant woman than for any other woman.

And there's really no research to show that there's some cutoff of when 'brains are developing' and when they are 'done developing'. It's totally arbitrary to claim, say, 'teenagers brains are still developing'. Nobody knows when they're 'done developing', or even if they ever really do.

Nor is there any evidence that THC is 'more harmful' to 'developing brains' in the fcking first place.

"MJ especially hurts teens developing brains!!11!!" is basically just some random shit people made up cause it 'made sense to them', and to give parents a way to explain to their kid(s) ... why it's OKAY FOR ME, but not for you, child!
