Hi, I am pleased to note that you have decided to get rid of marijuana.

Any drug of abuse can affect a mother's health. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the main ingredient in marijuana can cross the placenta so there is potential for problems in the foetus. THC can depress the foetal heart rates and change foetal brain wave electrical patterns. Studies have found that babies born to mothers who used marijuana during pregnancy were smaller than those born to mothers who did not use the drug. In general, smaller babies are more likely to develop health problems.

THC gets stored in the fatty tissue. Hence it is very difficult to remove it from the body actively and fast.

I am indeed very sorry, there is no definite answer to your requirement of getting rid of marijuana from the body. Please take care not to ingest it hence forward any more and let the existing marijuana get excreted from your systems.
