DEAR DR. GOTT: My question is for my daughter who is pregnant, going on her 9th month. She has stopped smoking pot but recently relapsed and smoked a couple of joints in this past week. She is due in three weeks. I do not want her to have her baby taken away because of her mistake/relapse so she needs to get the pot/THC out of her and her baby’s system.
