Hello and welcome.

If your brother chooses to continue his 'recreational use' then let him. Just make sure he does not do so in front of his girlfriend who is carrying their child. As long as she does not abuse or is exposed to the drug, the child should grow and develop fine.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
