Putting a bag on the baby means they are going to do a urine drug screen on the baby. It could potentially affect your custody status if it is positive. The good news is you are only 33 weeks. Hopefully, you won't deliver in the next four weeks. Marijuana takes about 4 weeks to get out of your system. I implore you to stay clean for the remainder of your pregnancy. Good luck and I'm sorry about your mom.
