The Impact

A study of 1,690 mother/child pairs at Boston City Hospital was conducted to assess the impact of maternal alcohol consumption on fetal development when confounding variables were controlled. Level of maternal drinking prior to pregnancy was associated with shorter duration of gestation. Lower maternal weight change, history of maternal illnesses, cigarette smoking, and marijuana use, however, were more consistently related to adverse fetal growth and development. New findings in this study include a negative association between maternal marijuana use during pregnancy and fetal growth. Also when confounding variables were controlled, women who used marijuana during pregnancy were five times more likely to deliver infants with features considered compatible with the fetal alcohol syndrome.

The Impact

With the legalization of medical and recreational marijuana in almost half of the states, practitioners need to be aware of the interface between marijuana and estate planning. This Article provides a discussion of the major issues that arise in this context. After bringing readers current with the history of legalized marijuana, the Article focuses on how marijuana use may impact a user’s capacity to execute a will and other estate planning documents. The Article then examines other estate planning concerns such as will and trust provisions conditioning benefits on the non-use of “illegal drugs” and the impact of marijuana use on life insurance policies. The Article wraps up with a discussion of how an estate planner may deal with marijuana-based assets when planning an estate and how to value those assets after the owner has died.

The recipient of the Clifford G. Grulee Award for 1963 was born in 1888, and later this month he will be 75 years of age. Dr. Harold H. Mitchell attended Syracuse University for both his premedical and medical education, receiving his M.D. degree in 1914. He served as House Officer at Boston City Hospital and then spent 2 years studying public health at Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Columbia University. In 1931 Dr. Mitchell was accepted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. In the "History of the American Academy of Pediatrics," Dr. Marshall Pease wrote that soon after joining the Academy Dr. Mitchell became a member of the Committee on School Health, which was organized in 1931. In 1936 he was appointed Chairman of that Committee and served in that capacity until 1948, though he continued to serve as a member of the Committee until 1954. After a lapse of 8 years, Dr. Mitchell was again appointed to the Committee on School Health and has served an additional year on this committee since October, 1962. In all, he has served 24 years as a member of the Committee and 12 of these years as the Chairman. It is believed that this is a record for service on an Academy committee. The reports of the Committee on School Health, if read consecutively are an impressive survey of the development of this area of child health and during most of this time Dr. Mitchell was a great motivating force back of these developments.
