Addiction Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Ok.... would get some other input from GYN BUT in general:
1) MOST people do NOT have a significant withdrawal effect from marijuana, and the worst general is mild irritation.
2) there wouldn't be babies with their families if they took everyone that tested positive
3) depends on the level of marijuana smoking whether it might already be low levels (with ONE use) or... about 1-2 week and probably cleared from urine, not sure about meconium (low use to most days) to NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CLEAR IT IN ONE MONTH.. with multiple uses on a daily basis... it will stick for over a month.
