Reefer Madness 1936 American propaganda film
Extolling risks of marijuana use in high school students Suicide, hallucinations, attempted rape, manslaughter
Film “rediscovered” in early 1970s and gained new life as an unintentional satire among advocates of cannabis reform.
“Turn on, tune out, don’t worry be happy.”

Maternal Comments “It must be safe, it is legal.” “It is natural, not a drug.” “The internet says it is safe and can improve
developmental outcomes.” “Pot shops say it is safe and effective for treating
morning sickness.” “Better than methamphetamines, cocaine, or heroin.” “I will take the chance.”

Marijuana, the New Panacea Morning sickness Intractable childhood seizure disorders Autism spectrum disorders. “Good for what ails you, modern day equivalent of
epsom salts.” Pure mineral compound: magnesium and sulfate.

THC, Autism, Questions Define exactly what child is receiving.
How much THC or CBD in current product? May be efficacious in a few selected cases of refractory
seizures What is the safety profile of THC and CBD? Recommendation for use of benzodiazepine (valium,
ativan) before THC. (behavioral health/psychiatry) Is the state legislature now determining who has
autism and appropriate treatment modalities based on a few testimonials?

Marijuana Source: dried leaves/flowers of hemp plant: Cannabis

Pot, Hash, Hash Oil Getting up to date
Edibles, Waxes, Tinctures Increased potency

Hazardous Cannabis Use Miracle Plant of Evil Weed?
Polarized debate.
Unlike alcohol: Use thresholds not well-defined.
Problematic pharmacokinetics

Is Cannabis Addictive? Chemical Reward>Pathology of
drive/reward>Addiction.
9% cannabis users become addicted.
16% when use begins in teens.
50% with daily use.

Cognition Divergent literature. Acute: Impaired learning, memory, attention and
executive function. Pharmacokinetics: Cannabinoids accumulate with
regular use. Heavy users: Impairment for days to weeks after
cessation.

Cognition: Children/Adolescents Not neurotoxic like alcohol.
Dunedin Cohort: 1037 New Zealanders: Birth to 38 yrs. Adolescents with heavy use: decrease 8 IQ points @ 38
yr. Hazard: Irreversible cognitive loss. Insidious life trajectory effect.
Role of genetics, environment?

Withdrawal Severity: Think nicotine
Common: Irritability, dysphoria, sleep difficulty, decreased appetite, restlessness. Dysphoria: anxiety, depression, restlessness
Less Common: physical symptoms: GI, tremors, sweating, fever, chills, headache.
Hazard: Sustained daily use: likely withdrawal.

How Marijuana Harms a Developing Baby’s Brain Dana Smith; Scientific American: Nov 7, 2018 Previous research: infants exposed to cannabis inutero
50% likely to be low birth weight and premature. Society for Neuroscience: Nov 2018, 3 new studies
suggest prenatal cannabis exposure: serious consequences for fetal brain development.

Washington State University Study Newborn rat pups exposed to THC, similar to 2
joints/day took longer to learn new rule (pushing a lever for food).
Finally press correct lever x 2 then press wrong lever.

University of Maryland School of Medicine Finding of impairments of memory and changes of
glutamate in brains of rats exposed to THC. Increased levels of kynurenic acid, decreased
glutamate levels with THC exposure. Kynurenic acid regulates glutamate and other
important neurochemicals. Glutamate: important neurochemical for brain growth
and neuronal electrical transmission.

Pediatrics: S.Ryan, 9/2018 Marijuana: most common recreational drug used by
pregnant and lactating women. Up to 36% of women report having used marijuana at
some point in pregnancy. 18% report using it while breastfeeding. Level of THC metabolites in breast milk was 8 times
higher than in mother’s plasma level.

THC Highly lipophilic Accumulates in fat-rich organs: brain. Accumulation of THC in brain tissue when growth is
greatest: 1st 2 yrs of life. Brain grows for 1st 20 years of life. THC can disrupt normal axonal growth and
development in growing human brain.

THC use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Safety:
No known safe level of use. Increased risk of premature birth, low birth weight Increased risk of behavioral and learning complications. Neonates exposed to THC: may manifest:
Tremors in arms, legs, Poor eating coordination. Difficulty with weight gain. Delays in motor growth. Visual complications.

Is Marijuana safe while breastfeeding. No known safe level of use during breastfeeding. Benefits of breastfeeding
Maternal infant bonding Less obesity Decreased incidence of reactive airway disease (asthma) Improved developmental outcomes.
Value judgment: Breastfeeding with or without THC “Just say no.

Law Marijuana now legal for recreational use in Colorado. Child welfare laws are set by federal government. THC is a scheduled 1 substance (www.dea.gov). Exposing child to marijuana during pregnancy is
considered a reportable offense to county child welfare agencies.
Reality: These agencies overwhelmed with cases, THC is low priority.
