Counseling About Cannabis Use During Pregnancy and Lactation: A Qualitative Study of Patient and Clinician Perspectives
Clinicians and pregnant and lactating people report desiring the same things from a counseling interaction about cannabis: sharing of information, identification of values, and facilitation of a decision. Both groups endorse an open, nonjudgemental counseling approach that explores the reasons why a patient is considering cannabis consumption and reflects these reasons against available evidence and alternatives known to be safe.
