CO women - marijuana question

[emilyj]

In CO, where pot is legal...can a pregnant woman be criminally charged if she smokes pot?

I'm asking because my H and I are talking about a woman arrested here in AL who was charged for smoking pot and using meth while pregnant.  One of the official charges was "Chemical endangerment of exposing a child to an environment in which controlled substances are ingested, produced or distributed."  I am not happy with that charge, because personhood.

We are debating the opposition and contradiction of laws. Which brought me to the question...what happens in a state where pot is legal, and you are of the legal age to possess/smoke?

So I googled briefly. You can use pot while pregnant, but if your child tests positive at birth you can be charged with child endangerment.
