What we'be been saying all along

Mortality Within the First 2 Years in Infants Exposed to Cocaine, Opiate, or Cannabinoid During Gestation

Mothers testing positive for cannabis have half the infant mortality rate of mothers testing positive for NO DRUGS AT ALL.

"No drugs at birth" deaths....... 15.7 deaths per 1000 live births
"Cocaine positive" deaths.......17.7 deaths per 1000 live births
"Opiate positive" deaths..........18.4 deaths per 1000 live births
"Cannabis positive" deaths....... 8.9 deaths per 1000 live births
