Does Marijuana Cause Lactation?
A young lady I know (21 yrs old) was recently told that she may be lactating as an effect of marijuana. She has a 2 year old but has not breastfed since Nov 2012. She has continuous migraines, and sharp back pain. But pregnancy tests have all come back negative so far. Can marijuana really cause lactation. I am aware that simulation can cause it same as being pregnant and/our hormone imbalances. But unsure if that s the case. Her doctor is the one telling her is due to marijuana use. And feels ridiculed by get doctor for it.

HI
Well come to HCM
There is no such scientific data available that could prove that Marijuana could stimulate the lactation in feeding mother, even if this is true then also you can't use this because this drug could easily induces addiction and not advisable at all, here looking to some physiological effects of marijuana either good or bad, this is highly prohibited, hope this information helps.
