Cannabis, pregnancy and breastfeeding w/ Beth Skinner Jasinski!

In this eye-opening episode, we explore the controversial and complex topic of using cannabis during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. While mainstream medical advice generally discourages any cannabis use during these sensitive stages, some parents have made informed decisions to continue cannabis for medicinal reasons, including managing chronic pain, severe nausea (like hyperemesis gravidarum), anxiety, or PTSD.

We break down the potential risks, such as concerns about fetal development, low birth weight, and the transfer of THC through breast milk. At the same time, we highlight personal stories from parents who felt that continuing cannabis helped them function better, avoid more harmful pharmaceuticals, or manage debilitating symptoms.

weighing in on:

The lack of long-term research
The use of medical vs recreational

The role of honest, stigma-free dialogue with healthcare providers

This episode doesn’t aim to promote or condemn—it aims to inform. Whether you’re a curious parent, healthcare professional, or advocate, this conversation encourages thoughtful consideration and empathy for individual choices made in complex circumstances.

🎧 Tune in to learn how some parents are navigating cannabis use during one of life’s most delicate chapters—with care, caution, and conviction.
