Smoking Weed While Pregnant & Breastfeeding: No Regrets

In this raw and unapologetically honest episode of Tamara Unfiltered, Tamara (@notdrtamara) speaks openly about one of her most controversial truths: using cannabis while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Across five pregnancies, she shares how weed helped her survive everything from crippling morning sickness to suicidal ideation and the relentless pressure of doing it all alone. She reflects on her choices without shame - because for her, cannabis wasn’t recreational, it was life-saving.

Tamara also dives into the science, referencing the landmark Jamaican study by Dr. Melanie Dreher, which followed cannabis-using mothers and their children over five years. Spoiler: the kids not only turned out fine - in some areas, they actually developed faster.

And then comes the second most-asked question: Did she smoke while breastfeeding? Yep. She breaks down exactly how she managed that, what she avoided (edibles, oils), and what she’s learned about the natural endocannabinoids already present in human breast milk.

This isn’t advice - it’s experience. A candid, thoughtful conversation about a healing plant, the realities of motherhood, and the double standards society still puts on mums who refuse to follow the “good girl” script.
