has not been thoroughly investigated, Daniele Fallin, director of the Wendy King Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said in an email.
To take a closer look at possible neurodevelopmental impacts of cannabis on developing fetuses, Corsi and his colleagues reviewed data from all Ontario births that occurred from 2007 to 2012, which was before the drug was legalized in Canada. Their final analysis included 503,065 children, 3,148 of whom had mothers who used cannabis while pregnant.
When the researchers accounted for factors that might skew their results, they found that the risk of autism was increased by 50 percent when mothers"This finding gives some clues that exposure to cannabis in utero is associated with autism, but many questions remain,” Ziva Cooper, interim director at the UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative, said in an email.
wierdduk Angstzaaiers. Ik ken genoeg blowende moeders. Kinderen zijn ok.
wierdduk Did the control group smoked regular cigarettes or didn't that group smoke at all? If so, cannabis wasn't the only variable test in this study.. We all know that smoking and drinking during a pregnancy is bad for the baby (and mother)..
Now this makes sense. Thinking about all the pothead that gave slow kids.
This is clearly a ridiculous study.
Research found a 50% increased risk of autism spectrum disorder in kids whose mothers had been getting information from nbcnews In other news, Research proves people are 50% more likely to be awesome if they used cannabis
Don’t think so .. major flawed pseudoscience study ...when did autism become a major issue? Where are all those autistic 60’s and 70’s babies? What happened in the early to mid 80’s that caused this huge spike in Autism to happen? 🤔People been smoking weed for eons
“the observational study cannot prove that cannabis use by pregnant women causes autism.”
wierdduk I will talk to my mum about that....
In MD, USA medicinal marijuana is legal by law and shops are open. Prophylactic dispensation of hydroxychloroquine is banned by governor's order. 🤪
wth.., knew it...
This 'story' brought to you by big Pharma.
One report isn’t peer reviewed science 🤦♀️
Which pharma co paid you to write this ?
Now is this just a white thing? Reason I'm asking is because I know a lot of black women that smoke weed while being pregnant and none other kids turned out with autism. They might not have been the brightest children but they didn't suffer from autism
I wondered when they were finally get to that. I am not a scientist, but I always suspected that cannabis would be harmful to fetuses. They tell mothers not to smoke, makes sense to me. When will people understand that the only thing you should inhale is oxygen?
What Researchers? And, WHO paid for the research?
This is good research and the reason we should do extensive testing on weed. We know alcohol and other items impact embryo development but have stayed away from weed studies, pro or con, due to legal status. I still support decriminalize and legal with control - but need info.
Yikes! This grand experiment will not end well and early signs already on west coast.
Researchers, MY ASS.. Paid Hacks..
Isn’t this the same as don’t drink while being pregnant or else?
Okay, who paid you to write this article ?
The important percentages
I have more than 20 cases of friends who smoked, and a lot, marijuana during pregnancy and the children are totally healthy.
I don't believe it. Fake news.
BREAKING NEWS: Consumers found a 50% increase in the manner in which nicotine/tobacco products are marketed/consumed!
I witnessed it first hand, and both children with autism, were exceptionally bright math students, and a yearning to learn! I was proud to help teach, and care for them! 💓💓💓
Omg, they won’t stop till they find something wrong with weed, just legalize it already!
'Fallin, who was not involved with the new research, said that the observational study cannot prove that cannabis use by pregnant women causes autism.' You may want to reconsider your headline, which is a blatant lie as it is now.
And I suppose the kids became scientists when the Moms glugged Vodka, Whisky and rum. What bosh.
I’m sorry but you also said that smoking causes baby a babe to be underweight? I had one kid that I did not smoke with she was 7.12 the second kid I smoked and she was 8.9 lol so sorry if I don’t believe this crap anymore. Anything in moderation is OK
jaypo1961 I thought pot had zero side effects.
Do they have any idea how does unexpected pregnancy happen ?! What if male is on marijuana ? Or is this study just blame female ?
Doh.
I'm sticking with The Lancet, BMJ and american university papers such as Yale and Harvard of which i've read all and of which non supports even remotely this 'research'
😂
When you say used what do you mean? Is CBD oil as dangerous as smoking the flowers?
Ask Richard Engel about this.
Wow. NBC, in consecutive weeks...is up and going anti-cannabis. With reports on studies that are, never duplicated by cannabis users. Must totally be a coincidence that they're doing it just months prior a national election.
Did they check if the husband was smoking pot during conception? Since sperm is constantly being produced could it carry the drugs into the egg?
Dr. Yan Limeng spoke for the first time: The new crown virus is a product of the Chinese Communist People’s Liberation Army Virus Laboratory!~~！
I heard its only when you inject it
Those are some good looking buds. Mmmmmm.
All the weed heads are mad about this! Face it, you’re selfish if you’re smoking anything during your pregnancy!!!
Let's see, the rate goes from 1.6 to 2.2 and the researchers say a 50% increase in the POSSIBILITY of the disease. Tempest in a teapot, someone needed to publish a paper to get their next degree. Focus on real problems like children in cages.
Well shit
“We emphasize a cautious interpretation of these findings given the likelihood of residual confounding.” Read the actual study. Also they say association not cause.
Hooooollly shit
1. Lingering high or 2. Withdrawal? Offer them some THC & Retest. Lastly 'nobody really cares, do you?' bebestdistraction RussianBounty BreonnaTaylor ElijahMcClain VanessaGuillen Beirut BoliviaEnRevolucion BelarusStrong COVID19 protests poverty evictioncrisis
what is with all these anti weed stories showing up We have been smoking weed since the dawn of time and will continue until its end. Just stop
If this were true there'd be an autism rate of 90% among the children of white suburban women.
What woman smokes during pregnancy tho
Sure.
and vaccines dont create autism that goes directly into the blood. but a mother that uses some pot, which i disagree with and the unborn child get autism. sure fuck off with this bullshit
Im not even a crazy anti-vaxxer and I think this is some bullshit.
Ya think
sure
😂LMAO! F-Up Otta Here NBC! As my Native American ancestors used to say while passing around the cannabis-laced peace-pipe; WE’LL SMOKE THIS SO THAT THERE’LL BE NO LIES BETWEEN US!
BS No mention of the 'inert' ingredients in vaccines though, right? No reports from you on that.
We haven't had that problem, but we haven't vaccinated our child so... fuck who and bil gates
Now wait a second I thought Autism came from those big Yuge vaccination needles.
Reefer Madness 2020 Edition
Haven’t you noticed all this data lately showing how dangerous cannabis is? 1) Never ingest anything during pregnancy not endorsed by your MD. 2) Heart DZ? Same thing!
I have a horrible disease please help
Reefer Madness bruh GTFOH!!!
50 percent increase? 50 percent increase in an extremely low rate ( 2.2 percent, as compared to 1.4 percent ) which could be caused by other issues with that many pregnant women. Did you ask what their food diets were?
Lol😹😹😹
What about second hand smoking?
Smoking anything while pregnant can cause significant harm.
Bull shit!
You shouldn’t be smoking or taking drugs while pregnant in the first place. It’s no longer your body alone that you have to chose for. What you take in effects them. So sober up if your expecting. We learned this shit from tobacco and alcohol. Stop hating on weed.
What researchers?
That shit stinks!!!
Fake news.
many of my pot smoking friends have had children with a bow legged condition.
I don't think pot or vaccines cause this. My son is autistic I just believe it is genetic. It is not the fault of pot or the fault of the child. Please stop perpetuating narratives that cause more grief.
Do you know how broad the spectrum is? Every child today could be put into this study. Kids can't be kids anymore, because 'researchers' want to connect everything to something.
Lies
Duh
BS
Huh. So it isn’t Vaccinations? Imagine that.
FakeNewsMedia
This science angers people!
I thought marijuana was a miracle drug? Smh
Careful - the anti-vaxers might jump on this.
Propaganda.
My mother never ingested cannabis. I still turned out autistic.
Add ADHD, ASMA and Defiance disorder
So what’s really going on? I feel maybe the liquor companies are funding for all these recent “studies “
87.09% of all deaths occur in bed. Bed, therefore, is the most dangerous place on the planet.
People have been smoking weed for 2500 years but all of a sudden when it will effect big pharma profits these paid for pharma studies & research finding things. Reefer madness 2020 propaganda in full effect. NBC is perfect place to show this because Democrats believe anything
Yeah, I don't think that's the cause.
SilverbearHeart 😒
Oh no, you posted an article that is negative about weed! You’re going to get it now.
Did you expect anything less?
Your headline is dishonest and suggests something that the underlying data and results do not. Thanks for manufacturing more bullshit!
What about their fathers?
You sure it wasn't the vaccines? Are these the same researchers who say HCQ doesn't work? Are these the same researchers who guaranteed a Trump loss Hillary victory in 2016? I'm going with organic plants. Divided by fear.
This is what happens when people who report this can't distinguish correlation and cause. Liars or dim wits.
Want to comment on the effect Vaccinations have?
Life is 100% fatal, nobody having babies for the sake of their own happiness, y’all just want to have someone to bury you, selfish bastards.
Who would smoke pot when they were pregnant?
“May”
Not surprised. Terrible.
What about smoking meth? Any evidence it can create superhuman children in the womb? I’ve heard good things.
😐 Correlation is not causation and there’s no way to compensate for all the other factors involved, including genetic predisposition and chromosomal mutation. It’s extremely irresponsible to make this conclusion based on such a narrow, weak study.
Garbage...there was an actual study done years ago in Jamaica that would disagree with your dishonest propaganda
Its crazy how many dumb comments are in here
Because all those mom are smoking the wrong weed. So please just say no to bad weed and yes to good weed .wee wee .because it feels so good. 😏🤪🥳😠🤡🙊😷👍
People conceived during this pandemic are going to inherit a messed up world.They will witness the rise of China and decline of America. They will participate in the wars triggered when Thucydides trap is sprung.
