No, absolutely not. Human sperm, while containing millions of genes that dictate the baby's characteristics, do not contain traces of substances such as drugs that may be present in a man's body. The true harm will come from a child being raised by a drug addicted father, but no, out of the womb the baby will not have any drugs from the father. However, the child's blood may contain traces of substances used by the mother during pregnancy.

∙ 12y agoSome drugs can affect the gametes (sperm or eggs), causing mutations in the DNA. With these, it doesn't matter whether the drugs were taken years ago or yesterday, the damage has been done.
Other than that, the father can do pretty much whatever he wants without impacting his gestating offspring. He doesn't even have to still be alive at the time the child is born.
Granted, this could mess up the family, but that's a separate issue.
