Medical bodies agree: avoid cannabis in pregnancy and breastfeeding

STRONG EVIDENCE Safety & Risk

ACOG and pediatric associations recommend against use: THC crosses the placenta and concentrates in breast milk, and studies link prenatal exposure to lower birth weight and attention effects in children. THC stored in body fat can persist in milk for weeks.

What "strong evidence" means here:
Convergent evidence: controlled trials, systematic reviews, or long-established pharmacology.
