Thank u for the welcoming! I am way out in MA pretty far from ya!

**update** I talked with a doula friend of mine who has been attending Austin births for many years... She said they do not test without consent in Austin and when they did test, thc was not made an issue of.

As a paralegal, I read EVERYTHING I sign and I did not sign for any drug testing with my midwife...nor did she ask. I will coyly ask at my next appt with her just in case, coming up this week and will update again

I will say that I feel pretty comfortable now I think of it, in this very crunch granola city there would be MANY mamas with big problems on their hands if thc were tested and acted upon.

Thanks for the responses xo

I think it's interesting that I keep up with this thread as I'm not really a smoker but it's so intertwined in my northern california life that it's nice to have input on your questions sometimes.

So what were the two states that went legal for recreational use? Colorado and Washington? Do any of you guys live there?

Any Mama's near desert hill? Just moved here and would like to meet some new friends. Happy Sunday!

I so wish we were in AZ. I just got done digging through a HUGE snow storm here in Mass. Yuck!!

I can't do winters...the weather depresses me after a while, sorry you're stuck in that:( It's supposed to be 60 today here and I'm bummed about that, after having sunny, warm weather last week!

How's everyone? We're still thinking of growing. I hate that we get all organic, natural foods, but just haven't forked over the money for good, medical grade weed (we get pretty good stuff for cheap and hubs smokes ALL THE TIME). I'm getting some this week though. I'ts 100 for a gram, does that sound reasonable? It's coming from cali, I have friends that have acard there and pick it up. I don't want to have to get a card for here but can if it's cheaper. DH has a little plant growing in our garden, lol, I think he's having a fun experiment. All of our neighbors seem to be smokers, so not SUPER worried about the smell if we started growing, just need the supplies, and maybe some starters.

I've been medicating myself lots lately. It's a challenging time and my hormones and moods have been insane and it's all that helps me to stop being upset sometimes! I'm hoping to fix my issues and not rely on it so much soon, Anyone else w/thyroid or adrenal issues? The mood swings are awful, thank God for mj sometimes. I also use it for my insomnia, so happy to have the option.

Anyone else get annoyed at DH smoking constantly? Mine does and wish he would stop sometimes, or at least try!

[EVEP]

My DH is like that, can get annoying!!

Hey Ladies,

I am wondering people's experience with using herbs during birth...I am coming on my due date this week and a kind friend in Humboldt sent me a nice tincture for use during the birthing process if I so desire.  I have not smoked regularly for a few years now and don't want to be 'high' just ease the pain so I figured a tincture was the way to go....anyway, any advice? experiences? Thanks!

[trekkingirl]

mamanesta my mom uses a tincture for pain but not for birth as she is done having babies. I don't think it get's you high if that's what you're wondering? I have a friend who makes them, I will ask her k

yiphip $100 a gram sounds pretty steep but I guess if you factor in the delivery fee? Clubs in CA for premo charge $50-$55 per eighth, plus tax

I have been looking at realty in Phoenix and dreaming about moving out there. My DH too is a constant smoker and extremely picky too. Not sure if he could deal with being away from the chronic

Hi all!

I'm new here under this name, am actually on MDC all the time under another username, but feel a little funny posting as the real me since I work as a birth pro and clients have found me through this site.  anyway, i'm hoping I don't seem like a complete dork asking how I can get my hands on some MJ?  I feel uncomfortable asking most of the mamas I know, and my closest friends don't smoke any more.  I haven't smoked since I started dating DH.. sad but true.  But now I've got 3 awesome little boys, 6, 2 and 2 and would love to smoke a little and hang with them, totally getting into their world.  But, I have no idea where to find it.  I live in NJ and we're a long way from legalization here... Is there a safe and discreet place online?  Do I need to start bartending again?  Hope not!

Here is my friends reply

Tincture is great for any occasion. I've never gotten "high' on tincture.

 

It definitely wouldn't hurt to have it with you it might ease the situation and help the surrender to that mighty force.

Desert Hills is North of Phoenix. Right new to anthem off 17.

Desert Hills is North of Phoenix. Near Anthem off 17. Not terribly far from downtown.

We made a tincture a few months ago (OK, my babe's turning one next week and it was before that, I'm totally in denial w/his bday) and I never tried it. Have you had a baby or is this your first? If this is your first rodeo, I'd steer clear of something that has the chance to produce more anxiety. If you're not used to being high you don't want to start when you're in labor. However, if you've BTDT, it's worth a try! I'd try the tincture out beforehand if possible though. I smoked and ate some chocolate I'd made. I personally like it better for afterwards. My labors are superspeed and I need to focus the whole time, but it sure helps for after pains!

No, it was a relative, so no delivery fee for me, but she does have the person bring it to her hotel, I'll have to tell her to go somewhere, her card's good.

I didn't mean we don't have chronic here, we do, just can't afford it! It's legalized in AZ, so you can grow it w/a card or buy it from a grower too. I'm assuming you're in cali? Why do you want to move to phx??! LOL

Bartending might be the way to go, ha! I usually bring it up casually in conversations, usually people are cool with it, but rarely do I meet other smokers. Since you're in the birthing world, start talking about it's benefits for MS. I'd always tell ppl how there's no studies suggesting harm to baby or mom, but there are plenty of studies showing how not eating enough can definitely harm the baby. These are the facts, what can happen? They either disrespect your opinion (or you and who needs em then anyway!), or you found a new connection! Maybe even starting by checking around for "a friend that has bad MS"?

Ahh, I used to live in Anthem, and in New River, but now I'm all the way east in Mesa...probably 1 1/2 away!

[trekkingirl]

I was dreaming of Phoenix because my company would pay me the same if I transferred there but you get a mansion there for a shack here. I've been putting out offers on said shacks for six months but every house has 20 plus offers to compete with. I'm getting really disgusted that I can't buy a house.

[EVEP]

Beats- I'm in ma and you wouldn't believe the amount of ppl that smoke bud. I'd just ask around! :)
