      NO!!! Cannabis components can be passed to baby in utero and in breast milk, and there are numerous concerns regarding exposing the developing brain to cannabis - especially with more potent strains and consumption methods that mean even more THC for baby. #nocannabis4kids!

      So can a ton of chemicals and pesticides found in food that is available at every supermarket in the country. Where are the warning tweets about those? Your focus on cannabis and not the thousands of other things found in utero and in breast milk is suspect.

      Whataboutisn is rarely productive- or reasonable. Additives/ chemicals in food are legal & tested to be below scientifically determined safety thresholds- NONE of which is true for cannabis. If we can’t even agree that babies shouldn’t be consuming pot, I worry for us all.

          Or put another way, your comparison seems to suggest the US surgeon general should prioritize warning people about the dangers of an apple a day, over the dangers of kids (babies!) getting high on cannabis / THC. Sorry, but I will never consider that a reasonable position.

          You should talk to the guys @strainprint . They have the largest Cannabis use study in the world. A lot of other Cannabinoids in that plant and a lot of ways to help solve this problem without getting anyone #High on THC or OPIOIDS. #CannabisisMedicine

          Who thinks babies should be consuming cannabis? Although you're right, regarding safety and testing. Realizing, of course, that we've been unable to really test this stuff because of prohibition.

          I worry for us all when the man "in power" has less education then myself. You scare me over these knowledgeable individuals and professionals who clearly surpass you in conducting necessary research and data to provide factual information. SMH

          Additives in food might be tested, but when was the last time you warned anyone about the ergotism or rye bread mold? I unexpectedly TRIPPED BALLS on acid as a kid when I ate half a tuna sandwich on bad rye, had I eaten it all I could have died. Why doesn't rye have a warning?

          Basically, there is ALL KINDS of stuff that will get you higher than pot that is 100% legal and has no warning on it, and it's all already in the kitchen for kids to access. Oh and did you hear about the kids getting drunk off almond and vanilla extract?

          food gets recalled all the time And cannabis can't be tested fully as a schedule 1 drug there seems to be always something like promoting road blocks That's why cannabis is not ever on a national ballot for votes. It is set up for government to win on those issues we care about

          Chiming in! When you say pot are you referring to CBD? Or just THC?
