Hi Arly
this gives some info on social drugs, might be worth a look at.

I remember being told that THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) stays in
your fat stores for 3 months so 7 days to me is not going to achieve
anything. I don't have a reference, it was from a lecture given by a midwife
from our local Chemical Dependency Unit.
Perhaps the usual approach of 'if you cant cut it out, then at least cut
down' will do. I would find out how much she intends using it now and for
what reasons.

I guess i,d choose to breastfeed with councelling as well!
