Alcohol

harms pregnancy

Marijuana

none of the above

Uuuhhhhhhh, you sure about that one friend?

There is conflicting data on the outcome of marijuana with pregnancy around the effect on birth weight and potential for preterm labor. To be clear: marijuana is not recommended in pregnancy.

The point I was trying to draw was between fetal alcohol syndrome, which is potentially devastating and the evidence is conclusive.

But your point is valid. I will update the post.

That's a fair point, and I appreciate the update to the op. Have a good day!
