Sorry, but you're misrepresenting the study ...it didn't say that cannabis is beneficial for fetal development. At best if found that maternal cannabis hadn't harmed their children.

CONCLUSIONS: The absence of any differences between the exposed on nonexposed groups in the early neonatal period suggest that the better scores of exposed neonates at 1 month are traceable to the cultural positioning and social and economic characteristics of mothers using marijuana that select for the use of marijuana but also promote neonatal development.
