What is the name of your state? Texas

My daughter's ex has Visitation and the baby is now 2 1/2 years old, she has always been flexible about the schedule until recently he started "acting up" so she has started going by the papers. Every other weekend and Wednesdays. Now the papers also state he gets to keep the baby for 1 month in the summer. He has no day care planned for the baby for that month and is refusing to tell her who will watch the baby, and although we live in the same town, he says he is going to refuse to let her see him the entire month. He lives in an efficiancy apartment that doesn't even have a place to prepare meals, he has a refrigerator that is dorm room size and no way can it hold food to take care of a child. AND she has recentley found out that the daddy smokes pot. Can she refuse to let him keep the baby for the entire month because of the circumstances/drug use and living environment? She is afraid if she doesn't let him go she will be in violation of her paper's.

No, she cannot refuse visitation. She has to abide by the court orders. If she thinks that changes need to be made, then she should take it back to court.
