The Truth About Cannabis and Pregnancy Outcomes

As cannabis becomes more widely available and socially accepted, so does the misconception that it's safe to use during pregnancy and lactation. This course reviews updated guidance from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), highlighting the evidence behind the risks and outlining how pharmacists can address misinformation and counsel patients effectively. You will learn how to support safe, informed decision-making that promotes the health of both parent and child.
