Herb Your Enthusiasm (THC in Pregnancy) | Code Periwinkle: Women’s Health for Men (and Women)

Описание: 🧠🌿 Is Marijuana Safe During Pregnancy? | Women’s Health for Men (and Women)

In this episode, A.I. Dr. Beeman—OB/Gyn, addiction medicine doc, —breaks down the science behind cannabis use during pregnancy.

You’ve heard it all before:
👉 “It’s natural.”
👉 “It helps with nausea.”
👉 “My friend used it and her baby turned out fine.”

But what does the research say?

We cover:
🔹 How THC affects fetal brain development
🔹 The risks of low birth weight, preterm birth, and NICU admission
🔹 Long-term neurodevelopmental concerns
🔹 Placental complications and maternal health issues
🔹 What the American College of OB/Gyn (ACOG) and the American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) recommend
🔹 Safer alternatives and where to turn for support

📣 This is not about shame—this is about support. Because pregnancy is already hard, and you deserve clear, evidence-based info.

👶 If you’re struggling with nausea, anxiety, or substance use—talk to your OB or a provider who understands. Veranova Health and other supportive clinics are here to help.

Music: No Ganja While Gravid ft. (AI) SnoopDoc by dAIrthbeeman

"Aw, heck nah…
Ma’am, is you smokin' while you're pregnant?
Fo’ real?
Before you spark that jay, ask your O-B what baby gotta say,

[Verse 1]
Baby girl
Your baby’s in distress
You lightin’ up that reefer like you tryin’ to impress
Hotboxin’ the Honda while junior in the womb
That ain’t aroma therapy, that’s a cognitive tomb
Yo, your kid don’t need no indica high
Don’t teach that baby how to roll before he cries
OG Kush don’t swaddle me right
I’m tryna grow lungs, not vibe through the night.
[Snoop Interlude #1]
"Now look, I done seen a lot in my day, but passin' the bong to the placenta?
Nah baby, that ain’t it. That’s a hard pass from Uncle Snoop."


[Pre-Chorus]
Just say no

[Chorus – Call & Response Style]
No weed — (nope)
No spliffs — (nah)
No blunts — (chill)
No joints — (why tho?)


No vapes — (buzzkill)
No bongs — (let it go)
No chronic — (not today)
No dope — (nuh-uh)
No
No
No
No
No bud — (too loud)
No grass — (sit down)
No gas — (put it out)
No kush — (baby frown)

No herb — (nope)
No loud — (shhh)
No boom — (boom gone)
No bush — (baby’s mad)


[Verse 2]
"It's medicine, bruh!" — nah, that's a myth
Your baby's sayin', "Mom, I ain't down with this spliff!"
Swap that kush for a gummy with folate inside
Stop takin’ off while your kid’s tryna ride.
You say it chills you out, takes the edge off fast
But baby’s tryna build a brain, not get high and pass
That cloud you love? Ain’t helpin’ the vibe
Kid’s still cookin’, not tryna subscribe.
💬

[Snoop Interlude #2]
"Let me break it down like a G:
If you high, your baby flyin’ coach with no seatbelt.
You think it’s chill… but it’s turbulence in the nursery."
🎤

[Pre-Chorus – Repeat]
Just say no


[Final Chorus – Extended Version]
No green
No tree
No leaf
No G
No bowl
No roll
No hit
No key
No skunk
No smoke
No resin
No roach
No moon rock
No dabs
No wax
No toke
🎶
No edibles
No mints
No gummies
No spray
Not today
Not this trimester
Definitely Not on Labor Day
🎤
Girl, you got this
Put that bowl down
Baby’s first words should not be,
“Yo, pass it around.”
