"Legalizing" marijuana does not make it safe for breastfeeding mothers, breastfeeding babies, and users.
There is much data as to why Tom Hale correctly categorizes it as a L5.
There is a reason why it still remains a Schedule I controlled drug.
Finally some sanity: a federal judge just ruled that marijuana was properly placed as a Schedule I controlled drug.
Hopefully, one day we get an executive branch administration that will enforce this federal law.
•
Mother also potentially abusing other drug
substances: marijuana users usually do
•
Exposure to marijuana smoke is potentially
hazardous and toxic as is cigarette smoke
•
Current evidence indicates that marijuana during
lactation may adversely affect neurodevelopment, especially during critical
brain growth during adolescent maturation
•
Marijuana impacts neuropsychiatric,
behavioral, and executive functioning, which may affect future adult
productivity and lifetime outcomes (delinquency, depression, and substance
abuse)
•
Law passed in States, which makes recreational
use of marijuana legal render toxicology interpretation complex (is
mother using recreational and/or medical marijuana “legally” or illicitly and
thus exposing breastfed baby to “legal” or illicit marijuana?)
