Impact of Cannabis on adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder: An exploratory study

Cannabis use is a common strategy for FASD individuals to ease the mental, physical, and emotional FASD-related effects. Still, there is no evidence about its impact on FASD-associated symptoms.

Preliminary findings suggest that cannabis can be helpful when adults with FASD are aware of the impact of cannabis on their bodies and can regulate their use.
