Abstract
We review recent evidence describing the effects of prenatal exposure to cannabis in pregnant individuals. In the context of changing cannabis policy, more pregnant individuals are using cannabis, despite profound risks. Recent studies show possible perinatal and longitudinal neurodevelopment risks associated with cannabis use during pregnancy and lactation. Healthcare providers are reluctant to discuss this topic with patients for a variety of reasons. With increased access to cannabis comes the possibility of increased adverse effects of cannabis upon pregnant individuals and their children. A concerted effort to educate pregnant individuals about the potential risks of cannabis might mitigate those potential effects.
