IN DEFENSE OF POT

Re "Pot and pregnancy" (SN&R Editorial, July 16):

Regarding the use of cannabis by pregnant mothers: There is research 
on this topic. It just fails to show any harm, so more research is 
required to find the elusive harm proclaimed by the prohibitionists.

I would direct those with questions to the "Five-year follow-up of 
rural Jamaican children whose mothers used marijuana during 
pregnancy," available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1957518. 
The children of cannabis-using mothers apparently did better than the 
others. What about the children!
