Is It Safe To Use Cannabis While Pregnancy or Breastfeeding?

 

Cannabis is a known psychoactive drug that is isolated from the cannabis plant. Cannabis is a plant widely cultivated in extract compounds like cannabis and CBD. Almost all parts of this plant (flowers, leaves, weeds) are used either for medical applications or recreational purposes, and cannabis is one example.

Cannabis compound contains a very important ingredient called THC, and most people know it with Delta-8 THC and delta 9 THC. Both of these chemicals are used to make products like thc gummies, edibles, oils, etc. Cannabis is very effective for the conditions like;

·         Pain and inflammation reduction

·         Help to deal with anxiety and depression

·         Improves heart conditions

·         Lower blood pressure

·         Used to treat skin conditions

·         Effective in cancer treatment and many more

This drug treats such broad health problems and is legally used as a safe compound. That is why people widely take this compound in Europe, the USA, Canada, etc.

Despite the benefits that this drug offers, there are a few conditions in which you should avoid using it that many users are unaware of.

In this article, we will talk about the use of cannabis during pregnancy and breastfeeding and the consequences that can occur.

Relation of Cannabis with Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Many studies are going on the effects of cannabis on newborns or premature babies during pregnancy. However, according to the researchers, cannabis is not safe to take during pregnancy and breastfeeding. This drug causes many health and mental problems in premature and newborn kids.

These conditions include;

·         Lower baby weight than usual

·         Effect on memory and learning abilities

·         Abnormal social behavior

·         Lack of problem-solving skills

·         Neurocognitive vulnerabilities

You might be wondering how cannabis reaches the baby's system. So, when the mother consumes cannabis in any form, it crosses the placenta and effect on baby's growth. In other cases, if the mother consumes cannabis while Breastfeeding, it reaches the baby's body through milk. As cannabis remains in the system for quite a long, the kid may get the drug even after the mother stops consuming it.

Cannabis smoking can also cause the same effects as its consumption in the form of edibles or carts. So, every mother needs to know what delta 8 thc, delta 9 thc, cannabis, and other such drugs are the only way to avoid them and their effects.  

Why do Mothers Consume Cannabis?

Cannabis consumption by the mothers can be intentional (due to depression and anxiety) or unintentional (to treat vomiting or nausea). In many countries, the dispensaries give this drug to mothers to treat such conditions without any medical prescription.

However, it is the responsibility of mothers to ask their doctors first before taking any medication, especially one that contains cannabis. As delta-8 and delta-9 are also the chemicals of cannabis, it is also recommended not to use such products that contain both these components.

Final Words

Hopefully, this article will be helpful for all the mothers out there as there is nothing more important than your child's life and health; the mothers should stay away from cannabis products until their kids grow up. Also, avoid cannabis smoking in front of your school-going kids, as it's not a safer option.
