Pregnant women with depression are more than 3 times more likely to use cannabis

Cannabis use is much more common among pregnant women with depression and pregnant women with depression are more than 3 times more likely to use cannabis than those without depression. Over one in ten pregnant women with a major depressive episode reported past-month cannabis use compared with 4% without depression who reported using cannabis. This is the first study to examine this relationship among pregnant women in a nationally representative sample.
