The results of a massive study detailed the potential health risks associated with using marijuana during pregnancy. Researchers combed through the health records of five million California women who gave birth between 2001 and 2012 and found more than 20,000 women who received a delivery discharge diagnosis of cannabis use disorder.
The study found that infants born to women who had a cannabis use disorder were more likely to be born prematurely or with a low birth rate. They also found that those infants were 35% more likely to die within a year of birth than control group infants.
The researchers and said they need to conduct more detailed studies on the issues and cautioned women against using marijuana while pregnant.
