Is THC Crystals Exposure And Breathing Marijuana In Air Safe During Pregnancy?

I am 7 weeks pregnant. I do not smoke marijuana. However, in my state it is legal to grow and sell, and I am considering doing a job where I would be helping with the harvest of marijuana plants, including trimming the buds. I would be touching the plants and the THC crystals quite a lot. I have considered wearing gloves and even a painter's breathing apparatus to limit my exposure to THC. Is prolonged skin exposure to THC crystals and breathing in the air from the marijuana plant bad during my first trimester, and throughout my pregnancy?

hi
thanks for using healthcare magic

No, not by handling marijuana, but if you handle oils containing THC then you can. THC doesn't absorb into water, only things that extract THC are Fatty oils like butter and Alcohol. About inhalation of marijuana, its depend upon the dose. If ur dose is high, then u can get exposure of it. In That case u protection u r using, This is the only thing u can do in pregnancy.

thanks
