Cannabis For Postpartum Depression

Everything you need to know about how cannabis and CBD work for postpartum depression

In this course you'll learn the safety and risks of using cannabis or CBD after childbirth to manage postpartum depression or even just the exhausting, stressful nature of new motherhood.

You don't have to struggle alone with this highly stigmatized condition, or expose your breastfeeding baby to toxic pills. Cannabis can be safely used by new mothers just like it has been safely used by millions of women around the world to deal with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Cannabis can even be a safer alternative than prescription antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and opioids for new mothers.


HI! I'M DR. MICHELE ROSS

I'm a neuroscientist who has studied the effects of drugs on the developing brain and also am a cannabis patient myself.

I've written four books including Vitamin Weed and CBD Oil For Health. I ran a nonprofit research institute on cannabis and women's health for 5 years and have educated and coached thousands of mothers, doctors, and nurses. I'm here to help you make an informed decision on whether cannabis is right for you, how to properly use it to minimize any negative impact to your child, and how to avoid any legal issues or social stigma surrounding your use. If you still have questions after this course, I will be available via email. To learn more about me, visit www.drmicheleross.com.

IT'S TIME FOR SCIENCE, NOT STIGMA

We hear a lot of sensational headlines in the news about cannabis being so dangerous for pregnant moms, but much of this is based on poorly designed studies funded by anti-cannabis groups or taken out of context.

You can use cannabis or CBD safely during any stage of motherhood, it is all balancing risks and benefits and choosing the right products at the right dosages.

Most doctors and scientists are not educated on the endocannabinoid system, which is the largest neurotransmitter system regulating all of your other neurotransmitters, including serotonin, dopamine, GABA, glutamate, and many more. They don’t know that people can have an endocannabinoid deficiency, similar to our body can have a deficiency in Vitamin D or other nutrients.

These healthcare professionals definitely don’t understand why a woman would choose cannabis or CBD to treat their symptoms of pain, nausea, anxiety, or other health issues instead of using a traditional prescription drug. And they don’t know the current research showing how cannabis and CBD show little harm to mother or baby during pregnancy, especially compared to alcohol, cigarettes, and other prescription drugs.

So when a woman asks their doctor about using cannabis or CBD, especially if they are pregnant or breastfeeding, she is often told to stop immediately. Even worse, the patient might even referred to Child Protective Services or substance abuse programs, instead of having a real conversation about the potential risks and benefits of using cannabis or CBD.

As a neuroscientist, founder of the first 501c3 nonprofit research institute on cannabis and women’s health, and cannabis patient advocate, I realized I was uniquely positioned to shift the conversation from stigma to science. I decided to create an online certification program on Cannabis & Motherhood to increase the number of healthcare and cannabis industry professionals that understood the risks and benefits of using cannabis during all stages of motherhood.
