Alright, buckle up folks, because this is where things start to get really interesting. Out of the whopping 117,130 pregnant individuals included in this study, a mere 4.6% tested positive for cannabis use during the early stages of pregnancy. That’s roughly 5,388 soon-to-be moms who were indulging in a little bit of the green stuff, if my quick calculations on the back of a rolling paper are correct. But what did the researchers discover? Brace yourselves, because this might just blow your mind: there was no significant association between maternal prenatal cannabis use and an increased risk of their offspring developing ADHD or disruptive behavior disorders (DBD). In fact, the adjusted hazard ratio for ADHD was a measly 0.84, which in scientific terms translates to “Nope, no link to be found here.”
