Does Marijuana Cause Placenta Previa?

Does marijuana cause placenta previa? I can only find factual based answers about smoking cigarettes. I am 20 weeks and they just found that I had partial placenta previa. I recently started smoking marijuana about a month ago to help with nausea and anxiety. I did not smoke for 16 weeks of my pregnancy. I bled at week 8, 10, and 15. I have not been bleeding since I started smoking. I would love some factual, non judgemental answers.
