Is there a test that can be given to toddlers to tell if their parents are smoking pot? My brother-in-law is sure his ex is smoking around his baby. Thanks for any help! He is trying to compile enough evidence to take his daughter.

Thanks for all the answers - marijuana is the LEAST of his worries - he believes she is living in a meth house making, selling and doind meth and having meth parties with his 3 year old present! So, he KNOWS she is smoking pot and from everything we can find, it is the easiest to detect in a child who has been around a drug abusing parent.
Also - illegal drug use of any kind would prove her an unfit mother and he would undoubtly get full custody.

You brother-in-law should get his child to a doctor. Pot is inhaled and is found in urinalysis-- if your sister-in-law is smoking around her child, she is actually "inhaling" also- just like second hand cigarette smoke-- a simple urinalysis may be all that is needed- if not a more expensive test like a hair analysis for drugs but I'm not sure if that will disclose marijuana -- have him take her to a doctor.

I comprehend that as much as 50% of the inhabitants has smoked pot so may be logical this the biggest percentile of what might take place on a drug try. If that be the case some Canadian best Ministers, (not as specific interior the rustic) could have been out of artwork. i don't think of that smoking pot in small quantities could desire to be a determining element in employment, besides the undeniable fact that to be on the secure facet might abstain for no less than 30 days beforehand of an interview if such replaced into to be examined. There are in simple terms as many so stated as criminal drugs which could impede ones capacity to accomplish., yet can completely comprehend an employers view staring on the employment sought, I dont somewhat choose a pot head flying an airplane, yet do think of there are extra significant subjects, the uncommon occasion of pot smoking does not make one a pot head and in such circumstances in simple terms be smart.

Have your brother in law contact the local drug dog handler and have the dog check the child-if the dog alerts that could be enough for a probable cause warrant on the residence. Your basic test for residue will probably not meet the reporting criteria for just being in the same residence, for example it may pick up at 50 nG, but a dog can smell the slightest residue say 5 nano grams. And sorry Lochmessy, but yeah smoking pot in front of/around kids is bad (child endangerment, contributing to the delinquency of a child)-oh wait you were probably too blitzed to remember that part in school...
If your brother is serious about it he can contact the States attorney, but he has got to have solid proof, ie. articles smell of pot, stories from the child.

Even if your brother in law could prove it, smoking pot is probably not enough reason to take custody of a child.

pot is bad enough but, a meth lab is highly EXPLOSIVE!
he needs to go directly to child welfare and protection services. if they are closed go to the local police station. in fact go to the PD first. meth alters your thoughts, personality, and sometimes your sense of reality. get the kid out before she blows her to pieces!!!!

I'm afraid the child would not absorb enough to test positive in any way, your only chance is to have the clothes analyzed.
Good Luck!

Oh for god sakes, it is worse to have parents around kids who are drinkers. Would you have every child removed from a family if they drank. When will you people get it throuh your thick skulls that smoking pot is not the enemy,it doesn't lead to the use of heavy drugs, it is safer than drinking until you puke. And luckily there is no testing out there to tell is someone has been smoking a bit of pot.
