Using cannabis during pregnancy linked to aggression and anxiety in children, a study suggests
Researchers have found a link between marijuana use by expectant mothers and autism and childhood psychosis. Now, a small study has shown how cannabis use can affect the placenta and may be linked to higher levels of anxiety, aggression and hyperactivity in children. The US researchers looked at 322 mother-child pairs based in New York City who were part of a wider research project on stress in pregnancy.
"We know that cannabinoid signaling plays a role in modulating stress, which is why some people use cannabis to reduce anxiety and relax," said Yoko Nomura, professor of psychology at The City University of New York's Queens College and Graduate Center and first author of the paper, in a news release.
