[quote=Anonymous]THC is passed to the baby and while long-term studies on infants have not been done (due in large part to the risk of the infant) there have been studies indicating a two to three-fold increase of psychiatric disorders in individuals who were used cannabis prior to puberty. The impact on brain development is certainly quite a risk.

However, it is worth noting, that under federal law the exposure of illegal drugs to an infant is a mandatory reporting requirement of health care providers and others to Child Protective Services -- Title 42 .§5106(b)(2)(B)(ii) of CAPTA (Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act). Many states (even COLORADO and many other "pot-friendly" states) will interpret this to include THC in an infant  If your doctor or healthcare provider detects this usage while breastfeeding, they may be required to report you. In some states, like Alabama, using can be considered "chemical endangerment of a child" which is a felony with a severe prison sentence.
