Melanie Dreher, RN, PhD, FAAN explains her cannabis and pregnancy research study in Jamaica. Pregnant women and their children were studied for over ten plus years, both marijuana smokers and non-smokers were included in the study. One of the first scientific studies of the effects that cannabis may have on pregnancy and the child's development thereafter.

  • Besides, I don't think the children in Jamaica are healthier because of ganja smoking. It has to do with their food. Their food is mostly fish and other vegetables and that is why.

  • @dbrebi You think this is an easy topic? I'm sorry but you do need to watch and understand this video. This is not about comparing Jamaican children to any others, it's about comparing Jamaican kids in similar circumstances with the variable being the mother uses cannabis. You had your moment being ignorant now take the time to educate yourself.

  • Ok so marijuana smoke good for fetus and tobacco smoke bad right..thought it was smoke either way didn't know that marijuana smoke goes to a different location in the body I learn something new everyday!!it just amazes me how many people step up to say pot is okay when you are pregnant and we are absolutly certain that it does no harm..risk your baby for a high or morning sickness that other women have dealt with since the beginning of time!!

  • @cyron4028 This study was on the effects of smoking marijuana, not a comparison study of it's effects against other remedies, such as ginger. I for one believe we, as humans, should use whatever works the best for us and not limit our arsenal of choices because of myth or politics.

  • @cyron4028 its not the smoke produced whilst smoking cigarettes that is extremely harmful, its all the toxins found in the tobacco.

  • About time the myths were expelled...

  • Is there somewhere I can see this study without having to listen to her talk for 30 minutes?
