Previous studies have looked at the direct effects of cannabis on health, but this is the first study of its kind to look into – and find – a causal relationship between legal cannabis and junk food sales. Though recreational drugs all come with their downsides, it’s often been found that cannabis is far safer than the world’s favorite drug, alcohol, which is associated with 2.8 million deaths each year.

Like many people, I went into my pregnancies with grand plans to eat a balanced diet that nourished both my own body and my baby. I’m typically a healthy eater, so I figured that throwing in some extra organic produce and superfoods would be easy enough. Three pregnancies later, however, it’s safe to
