How Long Does Marijuana Remain In The System?
Hi I m 12 weeks pregnant and smoke marijuana when not feeling well but not nearly as much as I used to. I found out I was pregnant when I was 6 weeks. Before getting pregnant I was smoking marijuana regularly. How long will it take for me to get clean if I stop now?

Hello,
First of all, do not panic. Let me congratulate you on getting pregnant and taking responsibility of parenthood. It's great to hear from you that you want to stop using Marijuana. As you might be aware that it can lead to substance abuse and later on addiction. It also has got unwanted side effects on your physical and mental health as well as on the health of the developing baby. Usually, it takes around 10 to 20 days for the active ingredient in the Marijuana to get cleared off your body. Once you stop the intake of the substance, elimination will be faster than before. Please seek proper counseling services.
Opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen.
Indulge in recreational activities.
Take folic acid and vitamin B 12 supplements regularly.
Do Medication regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
