No statistically significant difference between babies exposed to crack before birth and those not so exposed.
Oddly enough, there is a drug that will really, really mess up the baby, permanently.
That drug is alcohol.

AFAIK, there is no evidence of longterm damage to the baby from exposure to meth.
“How can there be a right”.....
“Mallory Loyola of Madisonville, Tennessee” obama’s sister?
