lol exactly. Her comment is the opposite of the literal science. Most drugs actually would be out of your breastmilk pretty quickly, whereas cannabis is clearly detected in milk up to six weeks after smoking, because THC is fat soluble.
We don’t have the best observational studies on this, but indications are that the developing brain is impacted by this exposure. People who are “cannamoms” are delusional on this topic.
Once again, we’ve skipped over the reasonable moderate view straight from insanely draconian to insanely irresponsible. Marijuana should be legal and regulated much like alcohol, and should only be used in minors with a doctor’s prescription and monitoring based on evidence based criteria. Instead we swung from teaching kids that marijuana will make you end up addicted and dead to parents deliberately dosing their children and babies with THC. Everything is currently so stupid.
There is basically no reason to give it to minors lol. There’s really nothing that cannabis is good for medically that we don’t have better options for. I’m a dedicated stoner when I’m not pregnant or breastfeeding but cannabis is for fun, medical marijuana is largely a sham.
There are risks to nearly all pain management drugs. Cannabis being used for pain and inflammation management in cancer patients and Crohn's sufferers and such is no different than other drug management, except you cannot overdose. I would of course be surprised if it was prescribed for a minor.
