Weed Free Baby Toolkit
Marijuana is now legal and may seem relatively safe because of the perception that it is “natural”. However, smoking or taking weed in any form while pregnant or breastfeeding can have serious and lasting harmful effects on unborn and newborn babies.
To help pregnant and breastfeeding moms understand the impact of marijuana use, First 5 San Joaquin launched a public education campaign in May 2018 to help increase awareness about the health risks associated with marijuana use. Various campaign materials and collateral were developed for the community, with community input and feedback included.
