As far as we know, ADHD is a chronic and genetic neurobiological disorder that is not caused by bad parenting, too much sugar and screen time...or did we? Because new studies have shown that some red dye and prenatal cannabis use has more long term impacts than you'd think!

In today's episode of The Lucie Pod we mention it all! Judgement free of course, however, we mention it and we discuss the possible long term consequences of prenatal cannabis use and red dye 40 and how these new findings will impact wider ADHD understanding and conversations. It's a lottie but a goodie (lol yikes)
