Jenelle made the revelation during her appearance on Vince Russo’s podcast. One of the host 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.”

Despite Jenelle’s claims that her doctor approved her marijuana use, fans weren’t buying it.
“As someone with an esophageal disease (spasms and nausea included) I got medication safe to take while pregnant after talking to my DOCTOR about it,” wrote reddit user Iknowyous. “It would have been easy for her to do the same, This is an excuse and a poor one at that.”
User LittleDickB*tchMatt wrote, “I doubt CPS told her it’s ok. If it was ok they wouldn’t have been testing them in the first place.”
User Shelovesthem80sbby was alarmed by how often CPS was stopping by Jenelle’s home. “How she casually talks about CPS is crazy,” they wrote. “I’m not sure if she understands that normal women who give birth, don’t just have CPS visits as frequently as she does. It’s not normal.”
