Podcast Episode: Navigating Cannabis Through Pregnancy and Postpartum

We’re excited to share a new episode of Chatty Doulas that dives into a topic many parents are curious about but don’t always feel safe talking openly about: cannabis use during pregnancy, lactation, and the postpartum period.

In this episode, three cannabis-informed doulas from the Mary Jane Doula Collective come together to explore cannabis through a harm-reduction and evidence-informed lens. This is not a conversation rooted in fear, shame, or blanket recommendations. Instead, we talk honestly about what the research does and does not tell us, why context matters, and how informed decision-making looks different for every family.

We discuss common misconceptions, the importance of reducing stigma, and why parents deserve access to accurate information and compassionate support rather than judgment. Drawing from both professional experience and real conversations with families, this episode centers autonomy, nuance, and respect.

Our hope is that this conversation creates space for curiosity, reflection, and honest dialogue around cannabis and parenthood. You deserve information that honors your intelligence and supports thoughtful, informed choices.

You can listen to the episode now wherever you get your podcasts.
