But if you smoke while pregnant, you could be putting your baby in danger. I have three friends who smoked cannabis either for years before being pregnant or during pregnancy and all three had children with Asperger's Syndrome. It isn't a research study, by any means - but it is 3 for 3 in terms of people I know who had smoked cannabis regularly.
