We compared levels of cannabis and other substance use before and after the legalization of cannabis in the obstetric population of the Kingston General Hospital (KGH). Urine samples were collected from patients admitted to KGH labour and delivery in September/October 2018 and September/October 2019. Urine was anonymously screened for cannabis and other substances. Approximately 9.5%-10% of patients screened positive for cannabis. We found no difference in the prevalence of cannabis use in our sample after legalization. Health care providers should discuss cannabis with patients who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
我们比较了金斯顿综合医院(KGH)产科人群在大麻合法化前后大麻和其他物质使用的水平。2018 年 9 月/10 月和 2019 年 9 月/10 月,我们从 KGH 分娩病房入院的患者中采集了尿液样本。尿液样本匿名筛查大麻和其他物质。大约有 9.5%-10%的患者大麻检测呈阳性。我们发现合法化后样本中大麻使用的流行率没有差异。卫生保健提供者应与孕妇或计划怀孕的患者讨论大麻问题。
