If cannabis did harm baby production there would be no more Asians, who have a 10,000-year history of cannabis use. As well, the Rastifarians of Jamaica would have obliterated themselves long ago. Teens should be keen to tell their parents all about the new birth-control methods they employ to make themselves responsible when they enjoy sex. Thank you, Dr Dawson, for showing up the moralisers.
