To some extent: Data confirm that babies born to marijuana smokers have smaller heads. The data is conflicting at this point whether learning deficits are also part of this process. Like any drug, when it is powerful enough to do good it is powerful enough to do bad.I consider it as bad as alcohol to the fetal brain.
