Hello! Your help would be GREATLY appreciated at this time. I'm in an argument with my husband for the following reasons:
He has quit smoking cigarettes for 7 months now (amazing!) HOWEVER, he smokes a joint 3 times a week. He doesn't drink, or smoke any other drug. Is this harmful to his health? He does not add tobacco to his joint.
#2) Yesterday, our 6 month old daughter started crying in her sleep. My husband (after smoking a joint) went in her room to see her. He smelt like pot (on his breath and clothes) is this dangerous to her? He doesn't think so because there is no second-hand smoke and it is simply 'an odor' he says. Can the odor harm her?
Thank you!!!
Holly

Marijuana affects memory, judgment and perception.
Findings so far show that regular use of marijuana or THC may play a role in some kinds of cancer and in problems with the respiratory and immune systems.
As for the odour, there is no evidence that it can be harmful to a child, but if your husband insists on continuing smoking a joint, it should be outside the house, as any smoke would be harmful to her, and is believed to precipitate chest wheezes and may be even asthma in children.
