I didn’t say it was the sole cause of autism and adhd, nor did I say everyone who smoked weed during pregnancy will have a child with the conditions. There are studies out there albeit participation isn’t very high for obvious reasons - I was shown these by the adhd foundation due to links with a child on the spectrum/with adhd/mld. I am pro cannabis for a multitude of reasons, but like everything, it has to be used in the right way.
The link is via THC and how it crosses the placenta and blood brain barrier (it works well on brain cancer due to this, too - so can be great in some areas and bad in others for the same reason) - this can cause disruptions to the signalling that's involved in neurodevelopment in the foetus. Also been linked to impaired growth, impaired memory and learning disabilities in the foetus.
No offence intended whatsoever - just sharing information I’ve picked up along the way due to my own experiences. Just like not everyone who smokes will get lung cancer, not every child exposed will have these issues, and most children who do will not have them due to exposure.
Lou has also been drinking, taking antidepressants, methadone, smoking…. fing idiot. I was terrified to even consume a fing prawn when I was pregnant. I genuinely really hope and pray she’s just got a gut - it’s a fing big one, but we can hope hey.
