A member asked:
I just recently moved to alabama and i just recently quit smoking marijuana at 21 weeks and don't plan on smoking anymore can they detect weed in mines and my baby's system after birth ?

No: First of all, drug testing in newborn infant is usually done when mother tests positive. If you continue to abstain from taking marijuana, same substance will not be detected in urine or blood sample.

Depends: If you showed up on a Child & Family services watch list in my state I would be obliged to do some specific tests that could detect such exposure. Baby does carry some evidence for exposures after 12 wks. However, if you don't hang with a crowd that triggers the question of drug use they won't even look.
