The general consensus is that there was no negative impact
of marijuana exposure on the physical health of newborns.
The researchers used data from the long - term Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, which includes 25 years of repeated measures of
marijuana exposure starting in early adulthood.
Reto Auer, M.D., M.A.S., formerly of the University of California - San Francisco and now the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, and coauthors used those measurements to study the association between cumulative years of exposure to marijuana use and cognitive performance in middle age among study participants who had
marijuana exposures typical to the communities in which they live.
Owners should not rely on the results of over-the-counter human urine drug screening tests to diagnose dogs
for marijuana exposure because the success rate is highly inconsistent and false negatives do occur, according to the Pet Poison Helpline.

One of the more famous studies that has been cited by the National Institute of Health, among other research papers, is Melanie Dreher's «Prenatal
Marijuana Exposure and Neonatal Outcomes in Jamaica,» published by the University of Massachusetts and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which also found no significant difference in birth weight, and actually found substantial benefits to children who were born.
