What are some of the risks associated with the consumption of cannabis during pregnacy?
"Cannabis exposure during pregnancy has been associated with low birth weight, small-for-gestational-age neonates, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and perinatal mortality. Neonates exposed to cannabinoids in utero also demonstrate altered arousal patterns, regulation, and excitability in the first month of life....[Some] studies suggest potential risk for postnatal neurocognitive and behavioral dysfunction, including attention deficit disorders, behavioral and short-term memory challenges, and intellectual disabilities. "

Has any national drug administration approved a CBD-containing product for therapeutic use in conditions other than epilepsy?
Yes. The oromucosal spray Sativex (nabiximols) is a cannabis extract that contains the principal cannabinoids delta-9-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) in a 50:50 ratio, as well as specific minor cannabinoids and other non-cannabinoid components. Regulatory approval has been obtained in numerous countries outside the United States for the treatment of multiple sclerosis symptoms (nerve pain, spasticity, overactive bladder, and other symptoms).
