Prenatal Marijuana Exposure and Neonatal Outcomes in Jamaica: An Ethnographic Study

Source: American Academy of Pediatrics
Conclusion: 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.
