AvoidGeneral guidanceHome exposure

Cannabis, marijuana, THC and CBD products

Avoid cannabis and CBD products during pregnancy, including smoked, vaped, edible and topical products marketed for nausea, sleep or pain.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Tell your clinician what you use, how often and why so the symptom or dependence can be treated without shame. Keep smoke and vape aerosol out of the home, and keep edible products locked away from children.

What changes the answer

  • The exact product, task, temperature, duration and ventilation
  • Whether exposure is through breathing, swallowing, skin contact or injury
  • Any label warning, spill, symptoms or repeated occupational-level exposure

General guidance

When to get individual help

Choose a lower-risk alternative when possible. If the exposure already happened, record the product, amount, timing and symptoms and ask for advice instead of assuming harm.
