A Drug Test In The Delivery Room
Gale recently had her first child. Early on in her pregnancy, she admitted to a doctor that she was still using marijuana. The next -- and only -- time it came up was in the delivery room. It set into motion a chain of events that highlight the ways legal cannabis can still clash with policies meant to protect children.
This is the third and final installment of our miniseries, "Medicine vs. Marijuana," about the ways legal weed can intersect with healthcare in America.
Note: An earlier version of this episode contained a couple of factual errors that have since been corrected. First, to acknowledge that Colorado law changed in 2020. It no longer equates a positive drug test with a finding of child abuse -- though, as we mention, that’s still true in other states. Also, Gail got access to a lawyer through an advocacy group here in Colorado that provides free legal help to those who need it.
