Jenelle’s affinity for marijuana has followed her into adulthood. During her appearance on Vince Russo’s podcast, one of the hosts brings up the fact that many of Jenelle’s “haters” have accused her of smoking weed while pregnant with Ensley, and she boldly confirms it.
“[Viewers] were saying it was at the hospital when [Ensley] was born,” the host asks. “Is that true? If the baby tests positive, you can’t take the baby home, right?”
“Oh yeah!” Jenelle admits. “I’m not going to lie about that.” She reveals: “I tested positive for THC and Ensley did not test positive, I did. So [Child Protective Services asked], ‘Did you smoke while you were pregnant?’ I said ‘I did within the past 30 days… I have really bad esophageal spasms and I throw up every 5 minutes, can’t even eat.’ [CPS] said, ‘Okay, some moms do that; we’re not here to judge.’”

She revealed that CPS planned to do a wellness check on Ensley after she was born. “Everything [was fine]; they closed the case,” she said. She revealed that CPS had come to her home numerous times due to “haters online who say that [she abuses] her kids.”
Although Jenelle’s marijuana use clearly doesn’t faze her at all, it has worried members of her family. Nathan Griffith’s mother and grandmother to Kaiser, Doris Griffith has recently been in custody battles with Jenelle over her grandson. In the papers, she brings up Jenelle’s marijuana use.
“DSS became involved due to Ensley testing positive for marijuana and opened an investigation,” court documents filed by Doris Griffith read, according to Radar Online. “Upon information and belief, both Plaintiff and David had positive drug screens for marijuana.”
