Abstract
Cannabis use among pregnant individuals presents ongoing challenges and opportunities for nursing professionals. This practice article examines current trends, motivations, and implications of cannabis consumption during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Nurses play an instrumental role in patient education, screening, and intervention strategies. By understanding the legal landscape, potential risks, and patient perspectives, nurses can provide evidence-based, nonjudgmental care that optimizes parental and neonatal health outcomes. This article outlines best practices, policy considerations, and clinical recommendations for perinatal nursing practice.
