Abstract
The purpose of these experiments was to determine the effects of Cannabis extracts on fetal development when administered to pregnant rabbits In doses calculated to approximate those that may be reached in human consumption. Two series of experiments were conducted using 84 New Zealand rabbits. They were treated with Cannabis extracts administered by gastric intubation or by subcutaneous administration from days 6-18 of gestation. The animals were sacrificed on day 29. During pregnancy, treated rabbits showed a lower mean gain in body weight than did the control animals.
