Jenelle Evans Smoking Marijuana While Pregnant? Friend Reveals Text Messages
"Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans has reportedly not stopped smoking marijuana even though she is in her second trimester of pregnancy with her second child. Text messages exchanged between Evans and a friend have been made public and show that Evans, though pregnant and on probation, is still smoking.
"We can smoke and chill on a huge [expletive] blunt lol," Evans wrote in a text message to her friend on February 10. "Let's drive and smoke I don't want to be here," she wrote the day before. Just down the strip and back or something I need to get away."
According to Evans' friend, Evans explained that she needs to smoke marijuana in order to help ease her morning sickness. And while marijuana is often used to ease nausea, it's not generally recommended for use during pregnancy.

"When Jenelle runs out of weed she will drive from her house in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to Brunswick County in North Carolina, which is a 2-hour round trip to buy $120 worth of weed," the source told Radar Online.
And apparently boyfriend, and father of the baby, Nathan Griffith, doesn't mind if Evans lights up while pregnant. According to the friend, he has actually encouraged her to smoke with him.
"I have been over at her house before when Nathan asked Jenelle to take fireball shots with him. Jenelle smelled it and claimed she almost threw up because she is pregnant. Nathan told her a couple shots wouldn't affect the baby, but calm Jenelle's nerves," the source revealed.
The two live together, and Jenelle is currently on probation stemming from prior drug use arrests. Should she be arrested again, it would most definitely mean some length of jail time. Her lawyer has managed to keep her out of prison thus far, but as the charges continue to build up, it will be increasingly difficult to keep her on probation.
Evans is due in early summer.
