I'm not shocked, and I would suppose that most people from big cities
wouldn't be either. I am surprised that anyone would be. After all
80 million Americans *admit* to having used marijuana (obviously they
did not ask 80 million people, but based on studies). Some of them
are nursing mothers.
Marijuana is a drug like many others, including alcohol and
phenobarbital. Like phenobarbital, it has a long half life, and has
central nervous system side effects. Unlike phenobarbital, it usually
is used only occasionally, and in such a circumstance, I would *not*
suggest a mother stop, until... Until when?
