What can weed/pot do to a baby?

Pregnant people should not use cannabis (marijuana, hashish, hash oil). Developing babies exposed to cannabis are at higher risk for low birth weight.  After they’re born they might not be able to self-soothe and have problems with sleep. There may also be long-term effects such as:

  • abnormal brain development
  • slower growth
  • learning disabilities and behaviour concerns
