Can using cannabis harm my baby while I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes. Using any form of cannabis is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or who plan to become pregnant soon. Research shows that if you use cannabis while you are pregnant or breastfeeding the growth and development of your baby's brain can be harmed, and your baby is more likely to be born with a lower birth weight and to have health problems. Talk to your doctor about any questions you have about cannabis.
