Are there any studies on cannabis usage during pregnancy that show positive outcomes either for the baby or the gestator? I overwhelmingly see negative effects studied and am curious about other studies out there

It's a good question. It's true that it's not a large part of the literature, but mostly where you see the benefits is for protection from insults. Whether they be toxins or bad nutrition or maternal stress or preclinical simulations of severe human diseases, you can see some studies showing a protective effect from either cannabis or CBD. This is especially true when you're talking about protecting the brain.

However, for the gestator, I can't ever remember seeing any studies about protection.
