> mothers who don't smoke enough weed

I don't see any part where the talk about the "amount" of drugs consumed?

There were rougly 1600+ babies who were used as control and ~338 who tested positive for "weed". Some of the things that aren't broken down is the distribution for infant mortality. Perhaps there were outliers in the control group such as premature babies, which, if taken into account might explain some of the differences in mortality rates.

Very funny though, with actual data to back up some part of your claim, made me think... :)

What I meant is that if cannabis does confer some sort of protective benefit, then by definition the benefits would have to come from use that was above some minimum level, and perhaps also below some maximum level.
