marijuana is not addictive, its has no addictive chemicals. just give it up. if your concerned about your baby, then just stop smoking it. some doctors drug test if your on medcaid and the last thing you want is cps knocking at your door.

I haven't done drugs but I did cut down on my smoking. Quitting is obviously the best choice. I went from 7 a day and Im down to 1 a day if that and have been since 6 weeks. Sometimes I can go two or three days without needing one. Smoking anything cuts off the oxygen to your baby. As someone put it once its like making your child hold their breath everytime you puff and I thought that was an appropriate and realistic way of describing it. Lets face it though, if quitting was that easy it wouldn't be called an addiction, theres a lot of women who find the power to quit cold turkey which is great for them, but it doesn't mean everyone has that power and I dont believe anyone should be judged because of that, the best you can do is try. Im not sure about the marijuana, ive never smoked but there seems to be mixed reviews on it, so im not going to touch that subject because I have lack of information :) good luck! You can do it!
