Q: How does marijuana affect a baby? A: Marijuana exposure in utero has both short- and long-term effects on the baby. Short-term effects include: lowered response to light stimuli, decreased ability to "self soothe," more tremors, more easily startled/scared, and more high-pitched cries. Long-term effects include both physical and developmental problems.
