Okay, hear me out, this is gonna sound insane…
I had another drop of “liquid” on my left nipple today (keeps happening lately). Don’t judge me for this…

CW: slightly gross

…but I gave into the intrusive thoughts and tasted it. It wasn’t what I expected tbh. It was slightly sour-ish and also a bit salty, but that may have been just sweat.

And that basically got me thinking: I used to make THC-infused milk all the time. Milk is fat, THC is lipophilic…so, if I ingested a ton of cannabis somehow, whether through vaping or edibles…and if I also somehow managed to induce lactation…could I just make infused breast milk??

Would definitely be a more fun way of making infused milk, lol. Just getting completely baked, so high that I wouldn’t even remember my own name and then have my bf massage me, to encourage the milk to come out. For me, being high also heightens pleasure, so I imagine this would be quite pleasant.

This idea is insane and I know it, but I’m just super curious. I know that breastfeeding women have to avoid any kind of substances and I’m here doing the complete opposite, but…it’s for science? 😆
The milk’s THC content probably wouldn’t be high enough, but I’d be totally down to try this.

I’m just messing around with my boobs, basically. Even if this idea is totally stupid, I still do plan to try inducing lactation in the future, because I really wanna experience that. I really, really do.

    Just know that if you indeed start lactating unintentionally without starting prolactin or whatever it may be a sign of breast cancer and you should get that shit checked out ASAP.

      Yes, lactating for no reason is a bad sign. Correct me if I’m wrong, but according to all the sources I’ve read, lactation is caused by high prolactin. And high prolactin can be caused by a prolactinoma, a benign brain tumor that actually produces too much prolactin, which makes you lactate.

      Cyproterone, a common anti-androgen in Europe, can cause prolactinomas as well as meningiomas, another type of benign brain tumor. Cypro is also what I use…
      Fun stuff 😆

      If you start lactating for no reason, like not a tiny drop but actually lactating, please get it checked with your endo 🙏

    Cis hetro here. So cis hetro that in fact, I’ve had firsthand/secondhand experience of guidelines and regulations on lactation and what you should and should not do, and why.

    You need to avoid breastfeeding while consuming anything that is unfit for your baby to consume, because of the exact effects you are talking about : ie : drugs end up in the milk and in the baby.

    Your plan is already thought through and … successful? Harmful to children.

    I think you’re probably already going to do this, but avoid breastfeeding kids.

    EDIT : Why is a cishetro guy here? It’s because of a conservative statistics joke; despite making up 10% (at most) of the fediverse users, transfems make up 90% of the shitposts. Whenever I visit all, you lot are posting something there.

      I think I may have worded this improperly. I’m not breastfeeding anyone, any milk I would get out of this would be for my own consumption.

      I wish I had a kid to breastfeed. No matter what I say, I actually do take child safety very seriously, and that would be a totally different situation. This is just a plain old shitpost lol

      Woow, okay then. Rude 😭 /s
      Can you really blame us tho? Shitposting is a way of life :3

      Also, welcome random cishet dude

        I was just repeating the guidelines. I’m sure there won’t be any kids involved, I made the joke too dry.

          A bit, tbh. I prefer my jokes a bit moister :3
          (translation: I’m not the brightest and I need jokes to be really obvious for me to get them 😭)

    At least with alcohol it works so that by drinking a can, you get about 0.5 ‰ alcohol in your blood. That is, 0.05%.

    Your breast milk has the same alcohol content as your blood. So, in order to get your breast milk to have an alcohol content of 5%, such as is typical for beer, you need to drink pretty precisely one hundred cans of beer within an hour.

    …which is, tbh, slightly towards the excessiveish side.

    So, it is basically impossible to turn your breast milk into an alcohol drink of any noteworthy strength by drinking alcohol.

    Sadly, I believe the same applies to basically any intoxicants consumed orally. You’re going to need an absolutely ludicrously mega-super-duper-excrssively large giga-joint in order to bring your breast milk to have a thc content that has at least some resemblance of effect on its drinker.

      Damn it, you’re probably right 😭
      You say consumed orally, but what if I pull a prog and boof my weed? :3

      Probably no real difference, since I’d need enough THC in my blood to cause psychosis. Too bad 😔

      Thanks for the detailed answer ♥️
