Cannabis, THC and Breastfeeding
The Boob Coach
03/19/24 • 28 min
The use of cannabis has increased over the last 10 years. This is in part due to the decriminalization in various areas of the United States as well as in other countries around the world.

The Infant Risk Center in Amarillo Texas is currently doing studies on Cannabis (as well as many other medications).
