Behind the scenes - Pregnancy and Cannabis

Ever hear of someone smoking a little ouid to alleviate pregnancy nausea? 👀

Well we are here to talk about it!!

A significant study often cited in discussions about 🍃 use during pregnancy is the 1988 Jamaican study conducted by Dr. Melanie Dreher and her colleagues. This study explored the effects of prenatal 🍃 exposure in a cohort of Jamaican women.

Key Findings:

✅Study Design: The study compared two groups of pregnant women: those who used 🍃 and those who did not.

Researchers followed the children born to these women for five years.

✅ Newborn Assessments: Initial observations showed no significant differences in birth weight, length, or head circumference between babies born to 🍃 users and non-users.

Infants were assessed at three days, one month, and at regular intervals up to five years.

✅ Developmental Outcomes: At the one-month assessment, children of 🍃-using mothers scored higher on measures of reflexes and autonomic stability. By the age of five, no significant developmental differences were observed between the two groups.

✅ The children of 🍃 mothers actually scored higher on their IQ tests after year one, two and three but became statistically insignificant at year 5.

✅Cultural Context: The study noted the unique cultural context in Jamaica, where 🍃 use is more integrated into daily life and often used for medicinal purposes.

The socioeconomic and nutritional status of the mothers were carefully considered in the analysis.
