Thanks everyone, I just want to clear the air a bi.
He is very private about it & makes a ton of money (thankfully) so the child's enviorment is not really in question. I just do want a retared (forgive me) or disfigured niece or nephew. Should this be a concern or am I being over protective?

From what I understand about pot and reproduction...is that continued use may make the sperm less active (go figure). I do not think that your sister should be too worried about the development of her baby should she decide to get pregnant. I would think that if she does have a baby, he should absolutely NOT smoke around the baby in any way. That baby will deserve a clean and healthy environment in which to thrive and grow. Smoke of any kind is not good for anyone...much less the "contact high" that comes from breathing pot second hand.
I do wish your sister luck in her choice.....

No not at all. My boyfriend smoked pot before we got pregnant and after only now that we have our son has he quit. My boy is so so healthy he is 6 months now and not once have we had a problem with his health. It will be fine honestly, tell your sister her baby will be healthy and happy

There's not any real proof that she should be worried, unlike some other drugs, and alcohol, but she might be concerned about what kind of parent a constantly baked guy might be.

no, don't believe the crap you hear abt marajauna, mushrooms, or any other natural drug affecting kids by second hand smoke. If it did, 5 generations of my family would be retarded.when his first word is Pot or Pipe on the other hand, talk to them about not doing it in front of the kid, it won't realize its illegal and he could end up in jail when he says "Look Daddy!! Its a Pretty Pot Pipe like yours! Can I have it so I can look like you?"

Why would she want to have a child with a known drug user? He would rather spend money on his habit than on the child. A child deserves better than that.

Yes, if the husband smokes too much, then it could turn the baby into a tree hugging hippie. I'd watch out.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I personally wouldn't be as worried about his sperm as I would the smoke being around me while I was pregnant or my child once he/she was born. Before they have a baby, he should stop smoking pot.

Ohhh no..
Not at all.
A pot head got me after only one "accident".
It might just make some of the spermies swim around in circles for a while before they realize where they're supposed to go.
(haha. jk....)

no but she should be worried about him doing this around her child. he should stop. your not mature enough to have a baby if you are still doing kid stuff like doing drugs. best wishes to your sister i hope she gets everything figured out.

Studies show that pot smokers have a lower sperm count.
