We scan national

possible give you the opportunity to read them. For obvious

Black people. REMEMBER
these are not our words, but where the subject/person is
listed in on our site you will also be able to view things
from what we believe to be a wholly Black perspective

CANNABIS DANGER TO EMBRYOS
Women risk losing their babies if they use cannabis when they conceive or early in pregnancy, a study has suggested. Researchers found that THC, the mind-altering ingredient in the drug, can prevent an embryo reaching the womb.
It can cause a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy, where the baby grows in the fallopian tube. |
