Experts warn misinformation about the use of THC products during pregnancy and breastfeeding are dangerous for moms and their babies.
There are some myths going around, including some who say, “It’s not harmful to me or the baby” or “It’s not addictive.”
It wasn’t that long ago that mothers drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes through pregnancy, but we are all better educated with warning labels and public service announcements spelling out the dangers of those types of decisions during pregnancy. The Florida Alcohol and Drug Abuse Association says the prevalence of marijuana use among pregnant women in Florida increased from 2.1% in 2002-2003 to 15.6% in 2017-2018 with experts warning that no amount of marijuana has been safe to use during pregnancy., studies show when marijuana is used by pregnant people -- regardless of method like edibles, smoking or vaping -- THC travels to the baby’s brain and fat cells and binds to areas that affect central nervous system development.
