March 13, 2025 -“Cannabinoid ingredients can cross the placenta and enter breast milk, potentially affecting brain development,” senior researcher Rosa Alati, head of population health at Curtin University in Australia, said in a news release. “This research provides critical evidence to help shape health policies aimed at minimizing harm.”
For the new study, researchers analyzed records on more than 222,000 pregnancies in New South Wales, Australia, between 2003 and 2005.
The team tracked the children of mothers who used cannabis to see if they were diagnosed with behavioral problems at a greater rate than the kids of moms who didn’t use weed.
“We found children of mothers with cannabis use disorder were at a significantly higher risk of developing behavioral issues such as oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder,” lead researcher Abay Tadesse, a doctoral student at Curtin University, said in a news release.
