A member asked:

How long does it take to get marihuana out of babys meconium?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

months if ever: The meconium begins to form at 12 weeks and may carry traces of discarded debris for months. The higher the exposure the more likely the material would show up on the gas chromatograph used for testing.
