      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

          then someone should consider retirement & get an educated individual informed on the research in ur seat. news flash: a plant is def. more safer then ANY of your other pills you deem as "safe". & fyi thc isnt the onlyl cannabinoid in cannabis. I would expect U to know this sir.

          I only chimed in to get the research that you suggest you have saying THC does affect babies when given to mothers(b/c there are many cannabis alternatives w/o THC :). If you are coming from a position that opioids don’t affect babies when preg/young mothers take them let us see

          No reasonable person would suggest kids or pregnant mothers get high. And I think you know this. Thus making me question your intentions Your job is to protect, promote, & advance the health of our nation. Telling us babies shouldn't get high is a weak attempt at your mission.
