Pot Is Being Smoked By More And More Pregnant Women

More and more pregnant women are smoking pot to ease their morning sickness or to ease their anxiety caused by hormonal changes. According to cnn.com, “The prevalence of marijuana use among a sample moms-to-be in California climbed from 4.2% to 7.1% from 2009 through 2016.” Unfortunately, smoking pot while pregnant can cause low birth weight and developmental problems. Marijuana use is growing mostly in women who are 24 or younger.
