HealthDay (3/24, Solomon ) reports a study found that “children exposed to maternal cannabis use disorder (CUD) during pregnancy and postpartum have an increased risk for later behavioral disorders.” Researchers discovered “significantly higher risks for disruptive behavioral disorders in children of mothers with CUD during the antenatal…perinatal…and postnatal…periods versus nonexposed dyads.” They concluded, “Cannabinoid ingredients can cross the placenta and enter breast milk, potentially affecting brain development.” The study was published in Psychiatry Research.
