Can Inhalation Of Drying Cannabis Aroma Cause Brain Damage To A Toddler?
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
