Marijuana has not been proven to cause spina bifida. Having said that, the main causes of spina bifida are not well understood. It has been noticed that women who are deficient in folic acid tend to have a higher chance of having children with neural tube defects, but the exact mechanism has not been discovered.
A person who has Spina Bifida can get "high" from marijuana just like a person who does not have Spina Bifida. A child in the womb may be affected by marijuana, but the specific affect that might have on an unborn child who is known to have Spina Bifida is unknown. A child with Spina Bifida cannot always move their body well, so any exposure to smoke of any kind could possibly have worse effects on them than a child who can move and get the smoke out of their lungs more easily.
It is certainly possible to smoke marijuana if you have Spina Bifida. But smoking ANYTHING is likely to have more severe effects on your lungs if you are in a wheelchair or cannot walk normally, because you won't get as much air going in and out of your lungs. So it might not be wise. You may want to ask your doctor about medical marijuana in pill or oil form, if you think that it may help with your pain from Spina Bifida.
Marijuana is not known to cause Spina Bifida. The known causes of Spina Bifida are heredity (family members who have it) and folic acid deficiency.
