I was just reading this one. Interesting quote:

"Physically, marijuana exposure was not correlated with any changes in head circumference at the mid-gestational stage (17–22 weeks), although a significant reduction in foot length and bodyweight at this gestational period was reported [ 48]. These changes in bodyweight and foot length were not present at birth [ 35],

although head circumference was reportedly larger in the exposed cohort at 8 months [ 49]. These anthropometric measurements were used as an indication of normal fetal development, which correlates with brain development [ 50]."

"Apparently cannabis use is a sign of higher socioeconomic status in Jamaica."

How is that possible? Doesn't cannabis consumption lower abilities? Why would there be an advantage for the cannabis consumers?
