We're seeing cannabis use becoming more and more normalized around the globe for recreational and medicinal purposes. 

So, today we dive into a conversation about its use in motherhood. 

Is cannabis use safe in the perinatal period? 

Let's talk with women's health and perinatal specialist, Laurel Wilson, about this important question as it relates to cannabis use, pregnancy, and lactation. 

It's important to note, as she discusses in our conversation, that there are so many scenarios that change the game, many factors to consider, and still so much we don't know about cannabis. 

But in this fascinating chat, we cover a lot of ground with the questions we all have surrounding this increasingly popular topic. 

In this episode, we talk about: 

• How cannabis interacts with the endocannabinoid system and why the endocannabinoid system is important to developing fetuses and infants. 
• What the research is saying about cannabis molecules in human milk. 
• Ways we can take a harm reduction approach as opposed to a risk reduction approach with cannabis use. 

While we come to the conclusion that there is no straightforward answer to these questions about whether or not cannabis is safe during the perinatal period, this episode is packed with scientific findings and the overarching message that there are many paths to take toward optimal health and well-being for moms and babies.
