Sixty-two million Americans use cannabis—but could this habit impact future generations? New research reveals concerning links to birth defects and autism.
Recent studies, including in vitro investigations, have uncovered chromosomal abnormalities in human egg cells. This suggests potential fertility issues for women who use marijuana.
Specifically, THC, a key chemical in cannabis, is now linked to these abnormalities. A case-control study further supports these findings, raising serious concerns.
Scientists are urging further research to fully understand the extent of the risks. Future studies will focus on long-term effects and potential interventions.
