Abstract
Marijuana is a popular psychoactive substance in Thailand in this period after a recent Thai law announcement allowing the opportunity for its legal use in some medical situations. However, the increasing inclusion of marijuana in foods and beverages as well as its illegal recreational use may increase its use, including possibly by women during pregnancy and lactation. The aim of this article is to address the scientific knowledge, Thai law concerning marijuana, maternal and fetal effects of marijuana use during pregnancy and lactation, and to offer some suggestions about marijuana use in patients for obstetricians.
