      Hi @okelly
      If a mother smokes while pregnant it can do damage to the baby. It can effect the baby before it’s born, or can lead to problems as the child grows up.
      However, I don’t think that a mother smoking cannabis during pregnancy would affect their daughters tolerance of the drug them they get older, but I’m not sure whether any research has been done on this.
      I will try and find out and if I find anything out I will let you know.

      Smoking anything while pregnant is a bad idea though, and should be avoided if at all possible.

      I hope this answers your question a bit.
