Question: Can cannabis drying in the home with a baby under one year affect a child’s brain or nervous system

Brief Answer:

Possible

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

If cannabis is drying at home, definitely cannabinoids (the chemical constituents of cannabis) could be in the air and therefore could enter the systems of a child under one year of age who is there, thus affecting the nervous system and the brain of the child.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
