Is marijuana healthy for pregnant women?

As a rule, pregnant women should not smoke anything.

That said, there are studies originating in Jamaica that show little effects on newborn babies, and follow-up studies of those same children when they reach school age show no abnormalities. However, there may be complicated factors, such as the cultural acceptance of marijuana in Jamaica versus the United States.

In short, the medical question of THC's effects on neonates is still open to debate. As a rule of thumb, it is ultimately irrelevant as pregnant women should not be smoking any substance. Always refer to the advice of a medical professional before making health decisions.
