I don't have it with me, but the latest Mothering magazine has an article
about using marijuana during pregnancy for severe morning sickness.  There
are several references quoted following the article about the studies done
showing no conclusive correlation between THC exposure during pregnancy and
any subsequent effect on the child. These may be helpful to take to the
hospital that is threatening to prohibit this poor mom from breastfeeding.
Since transmission would presumably be higher during pregnancy than during
breastfeeding, these articles should be relevant. If the mom does have a
drug problem - wouldn't the parenting techniques that arise from
breastfeeding and skin to skin contact be better than being able to pass
the baby off with a bottle??  JMO.
