Weed: The children brain is still in stage of development therefore weed could adversely affect the development. also weed is more addictive in younger children, Please do not do that, as kids are not able to protect themselves and it's our job to protect our kids.

Infants & toddlers: who passively smoke marijuana or any other substance have higher blood & urine levels of the drug than adults exposed to the same amount. Smoking 10 joints in a small room over 1 1/2 hrs. causes coma in an exposed toddler, as does smoking 5 joints in a closed car over 30 min. THC crosses into the child's brain & alters development & behavior while there. Parenting & safety are impacted.
