Dr. Melanie Dreher, the Dean of Nursing at Rush Medical Center in Chicago, studied 30 Jamaican mothers and their babies for five years until the children were school age In the early 1990s. Results showed that infants whose moms utilized cannabis socialized and made eye contact more quickly and were also easier to engage than the babies of nonsmokers. Nor were the kids in the study developmentally disadvantaged. In fact, the 5-year old children of smokers scored higher on tests for verbal ability, memory, mood, and motor, perceptual, and quantitative skills than children of non-users.
