Greater social acceptance of cannabis use may result in some prospective parents to think that it could be used to treat morning sickness. Does cannabis use have any implications for fetal neurodevelopment?
A recent study posed the following question: "Was there an association between cannabis exposure in pregnancy and child neurodevelopmental outcomes in a Canadian cohort?" The results of this retrospective study in Canada found that children exposed to cannabis in utero had a moderately elevated risk of developing autism spectrum disorder. Autism incidence was 4.0 per 1,000 person-years among children exposed to cannabis in pregnancy versus 2.42 among unexposed children.

Are symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) significantly reduced after smoking or vaporizing marijuana?
In a recent study, data from an app that tracks the changes of medical marijuana patients' OCD symptoms over time was analyzed. The results indicate that inhaled cannabinoids appear to have short-term beneficial effects on symptoms of OCD. However, tolerance to the effects on intrusions may develop over time.

Some CBD manufacturers claim that their products are manufactured in a NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) compliant facility. What does "NSF compliant" mean?
"Businesses, regulators and consumers look to the NSF for the development of public health standards and services that help protect the world's food, water, consumer products and environment." The NSF performs "extensive product testing and material analyses [as well as] unannounced plant inspections... every aspect of a product's development is thoroughly evaluated before it can earn our certification."
