Does The Intake Of Marijuana Cause Any Harm While You Are Pregnant?
I have a friend going through a custody battle and his wife smoked marijuana and took Vicodin while pregnant with his twins. The twins are now almost 2 years old. Would any of the pre-birth drug use show up in a hair follicle test? She also used while breast feeding the twins as well.

Hi,
Since the twins are already 2 years old it is not possible for the marijuana to show up in any test done on the kids.
Marijuana can get secreted in breast milk and cause developmental delays and sudden infant death in kids who are breast feed by women taking marijauna. A lot depends on the source of marijauna itself as if it is contaminated, then the complications will increase.
But it is very very unlikely that any thing will show on blood, urine or hair follicle test conducted.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
