To Recap Last Week:

The studies have looked at 800+ people and have studied pregnant mothers and children in some cases through adulthood. In looking at collected data since 2002 - today, we have learned a couple of things:

  • Cannabis Use in Pregnant Women is Rising
  • Cannabis use during pregnancy can cause deficits to social learning as well as the way in which we learn (Temporal Order Learning)
  • Cannabis Use during pregnancy can cause children more likely to exhibit symptoms of social disruption
  • Molds and microtoxins are very common in cannabis flower and it is hard to know what you are consuming
  • CBD is not without risk to pregnant women, although the research is difficult
  • CBD potentially has some really great uses like treating epilepsy and addiction - but Andrew would not recommend taking it during pregnancy
