She is currently using marijuana and I would like to have the most
recent studies related to the effects of marijuana use on the unborn
fetus. Thanks for any information.
>> The problem is not with marijauna, per se, as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is not a proven teratogen. The problem is the fact that most users don't get their THC from a pharmacist or other appropriately licensed source and the other elements in the "package" are undefined.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
