The lack of information leads me to believe that Mr. Herer is full of shit on this one.
It should be noted that there are several limitations posed by this study and caution must be used in interpreting the results. First, the means by which the study participants were recruited may have introduced a bias in the sample. Second, the sample size is small, obviating the use statistical procedures that might be able to account for the many environmental variables that seem to influence some of the outcomes. Third, in a prospective study of this nature it is impossible to foresee and control for all the potential environmental and maternal confounders. Finally, this study has not eliminated alternative explanations. It is possible for example, that the outcomes at 1 month are related to neonatal exposure to marijuana constituents via breast milk or to prenatal influences that simply were not manifested at the 3-day examination.

Also, seeing as no one really understands how cannabis works in the brain of the mother or the fetus/infants, it would be extremely irresponsible to post things like this that could encourage mothers to smoke cannabis during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy itself has shown to have adverse effects on fetus development because of the carbon monoxide and various carcinogens that can cross the placenta into the delicate and developing fetus.
No one really understands exactly how cannabis works: Jack's being an ass in posting something so unexplained and unaccompanied with warning.
