In US, cigarette smokers children show similar affects - lower IQ, higher incidence of ADD/ADHD, etc. People who smoke cigarettes tend to be lower SES, lower IQ, lower educational levels. Is this true of marijuana smokers, as well? I would think so. In my experience with "at risk" children, crappy parenting = crappy behaviour in children. Inside joke: Kid has multiple diagnoses - ADHD, bipolar, MR, etc. Is on trileptal, ritalin, etc. Staff all agree that real diagnosis is BPD - Bad Parenting Disorder. I agree with Mel, the issue truly is why is the op smoking marijuana. Because if she wants to parent effectively she needs to stop.
