ABOUT
The increased legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes has created the impression that marijuana is harmless for adults, including pregnant women. Most dispensaries and online sources support the use of marijuana to reduce morning sickness. However, marijuana, particularly daily use, has significant ill effects on pregnancy, the fetus, and the child's development.
