Another important study on the effects of cannabis on pregnancy was published in late 2015. In this study, scientists report that babies exposed to cannabis during pregnancy tended to have better vision at age 4. However, their brain development could also be affected.
«It is difficult to be certain about the effects of cannabis and products containing it on fetal development,» says the representative of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. «Further studies are needed to investigate the effects of cannabis on pregnancy and lactation.».
