Michigan legislators may soon vote to slap a warning label on marijuana products.
The warning would be aimed at pregnant and nursing mothers.
The Journal of the American Medical Association Tuesday released a pair of studies linking marijuana use during pregnancy with low birth weights and an increased risk of pre-term birth.
Representative Thomas Albert admits a warning label might not discourage some pregnant women from using marijuana.
“That being said, I will say a warning label has a substantial impact on forming public opinion and change the decision making of those on the fence.”
Michigan’s marijuana industry does not oppose adding the warning.
But industry spokespeople worry about covering their products with a variety of warning labels.
