A US father has been charged with putting his five-week-old baby in the oven for several hours while under the influence of marijuana.
Larry Long, 33, allegedly put the child in the oven after claiming to have hallucinated while smoking marijuana "laced with something", TV station Lex18 reported.
The Kentucky man had been drinking whiskey with the baby's mother before putting the infant in the oven after she had gone to bed.
Thankfully he had not turned the oven on.
The mother was awakened by the baby's crying at around 5:30am on Monday and took the child out of the oven.
The infant was unharmed after being taken to a local hospital.
Police arrested Long after hospital staff called law enforcement officials and charged him with wanton endangerment.

This grog-drinking, pot-smoking 'father' should have his baby taken from him!
At least he didn't turn the oven on and fry the baby to death.
He must have watched the “LSD” Dragnet episode
I don’t buy this.
I’ve heard of having a baby in the oven.
Ya, it’s an easy mistake to make when you’re smashed. Probably thought it was a crib...

Maybe he thought the oven was Molech. The god Molech was used to sacrifice babies by heating up the hands of the Molech statue to almost red hot and putting the baby in them. Post birth abortions were pretty popular back then.
At least it’s not as bad as that woman who microwaved her baby to death

Sensational headline notwithstanding, I’m sure the pot wasn’t the main reason this scumbag put the baby in the oven.
Hee hee hee! Very good.
NOW, if he got his hands on some laced nugs, yeah, maybe.
Otherwise, the effort in and of itself was too much for a stoner. ;-)
Looked like the booze was the problem to me.
Not buying it either. When I smoked pot, it was generally the dumbest thing I did.
Ummm, that’s a bun.
Baby is thrown out the window with the bathwater.
Get your abuse facts right.
Is this the Libertarian ping list?
Just checking :-0
Thank God he didn’t turn it on.
Something tells me there was something more than pot and booze.
One bakes in an oven and fries in a pan.
Do you often "fry" things in your oven?
Oh, no.
I am sure we will see someone post... I smoke pot every day and I have never put a baby in the oven so we should legalize pot....
