Cannabis Retailer Advice on Blunt, Tobacco, and Cannabis Use During Pregnancy

How do cannabis retailer employees counsel pregnant individuals seeking information about the safety of prenatal use of blunts, tobacco, and cannabis?In this cross-sectional study of 505 California cannabis retailers, 79% of employees said prenatal blunt or tobacco use was unsafe, and 40% said prenatal cannabis use was unsafe.These findings suggest that most cannabis retailers advised against prenatal tobacco use, but fewer did for cannabis, highlighting the need for better retailer education and consumer information.
