No, marijuana will not show up in a baby's DNA. However, if a pregnant person consumes marijuana, its metabolites can be detected in the baby's meconium or urine after birth. DNA testing specifically looks for genetic material, not drug metabolites, so marijuana use would not be reflected in the baby's genetic profile unless there was a specific test for its effects.
