Pregnantwomen's cannabis usage in US states where it is legalized raises calls for screening
, the research shows pregnant women were around 4.6 times more likely to report using cannabis where it is legal for medical and recreation, compared to where CBD is only allowed.
The team is calling for prenatal and primary care providers to screen and counsel patients regarding cannabis use in pregnancy, particularly in states where it is legal, for the potential effects on fetal development. Among the least studied are pregnant women, but cannabis has been known to be used to treat some symptoms associated with pregnancy—notably nausea and vomiting.
"The unweighted dataset consisted of 426 CBD-only, 1,114 medical, and 394 recreational group respondents," they claim. Weights were applied to each datapoint to obtain the population they represented. Of this weighted data, 2.4% from CBD-only regions reported cannabis use, while 7.1% from medical regions and 6.9% from adult-use regions reported the same. Respondents from the medical and recreational areas were 4.5 and 4.7 times more likely to use cannabis than those in CBD-only areas.
However, safe usage depends on having a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and risks of cannabis when weighed against the risks of untreated or refractory conditions such as hyperemesis gravidarum.
