Pregnancy and lactation


 

Use is not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding, since cannabinol can reach the fetus or infant (excreted in mother's milk).

Some studies suggest a relation between consumption of the drug during pregnancy and certain behavioral aspects of the infant, in the context of what is referred to as the executive function - attention/impulsiveness, and any problem-solving situations that require integration and manipulation of elemental perceptive visual skills.
