Unborn babies exposed to cannabis from mothers could end up experiencing increased aggression at 5 years of age along with other adverse developmental impacts, according to a new study.
The peer-reviewed study, published in JAMA Pediatrics on Oct. 28, investigated how cannabis use among pregnant women affected children. In their analysis, researchers studied data from 355 pregnant women who planned to give birth at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. When the children were 5 years old, researchers contacted the families to collect additional relevant data.
