🤰🌿 Cannabis Use in Pregnancy: Context, Evidence, and Clinical Reality

How should clinicians discuss cannabis use during pregnancy when the evidence is complex, evolving, and often influenced by stigma, policy, and research limitations?

This SCC resource examines the current scientific evidence, the role of the endocannabinoid system, harm reduction considerations, and the need for patient-centered conversations that are compassionate, evidence-based, and clinically practical.

The article highlights the importance of moving beyond simplistic messaging toward a more nuanced understanding of risk, uncertainty, and real-world patient experiences.

What happens when rigorous science meets real-world patient outcomes?

A new publication in Med Cannabis Cannabinoids explores the quantitative impact of cannabinoid therapy in prostate cancer, integrating biomarkers, imaging, and clinical outcomes—an important step toward evidence-based precision care.

Even more exciting, this work features collaboration from Dr. Shiksha Gallow, Board Member at the Society of Cannabis Clinicians—highlighting the growing leadership and global contribution of SCC experts in advancing cannabinoid science.
