Notes from the Field:
Pregnancy
& Cannabis
A recent inquiry on social
media asked mothers
who are cannabis patients
if they had continued to
use cannabis during their
pregnancies, and if so, what were the effects.
Here are some of the responses:
“It’s important that everyone is educated to the fact that
the allowed anti-nausea prescription medications are
known to actually cause birth defects. Cannabis, on the
other hand, feeds the endocannabinoid system of both
mother and child.”
 ­– Rhea G.
“I ingested two, 35 milligram cannabis suckers a day. I made
it through my entire pregnancy without being hospitalized
for malnutrition or dehydration. Today, my son is a thriving
three-year-old, and is verbally ahead of his peers.”
 ­– Ashley K.
“I primarily vaped cannabis concentrates throughout
my pregnancy. I had to fight the Brigham and Women’s
Hospitals, along with Partner’s Healthcare, and won.”
 ­– Cara C.
