Hello,
Marijuana and all other recreational drugs must be avoided in the pregnancy especially in the first three months. Alcohol is also not safe during pregnancy.
You can go for an anomaly scan to look for any congenital problems. Problems like preterm also be anticipated. Marijuana will not be detected in the blood or meconium.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
