Cannabis Use For Pregnancy & Birth with Sydney Parlier

Sammy & Rick Sniegowski Season 3 Episode 23

Birthkeeper and cannabis advocate, Sydney Parlier, joins Sammy for a conversation about cannabis use for preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum. She touches on the current conflating evidence about plant medicine & pregnancy, who may benefit from mindful use of cannabis, and her personal experience with marijuana during her current pregnancy. Sammy and Sydney also unpack the stigma surrounding certain drugs and not others, and why glorifying the over-consumption of cannabis is harmful to the larger advocacy conversation.

  • Sydney’s ever changing relationship with cannabis 
  • Cannabis use during pregnancy, birth and postpartum: safety & legality
  • Ancestral consistency of plant medicine
  • Examining your own stigmas: unpacking your relationship with other drugs you may be consuming (caffeine, food, etc.)
