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.
“At least he didn’t turn the oven on.”
Attribute that to either blind luck or the hand of God at work,this guy is a waste of skin.
Errrr....than why did he put baby in the oven? This story stinks of....... BullSh@t.
Jail. For a long time.
Good thing the pot took away his motivation to turn the knob. /s

I smoke pot every day and I have never put a baby in the oven so we should legalize pot.
LOL. That’s the one!

I always thought the Dragnet writers were secret dope smokers. The marijuana smokers always seemed to have better arguments than Sgt. Friday.
The episode you may be referring to is from the second season of the 1960s ‘Dragnet.’ It’s called ‘The Big High’ and features a young couple that routinely gets high on marijuana, but at the end their baby daughter drowns in a tub because they were too high to appreciate what was going on.
The LSD episode everyone remembers is the first regular episode of the first season.
In ‘The Big High’s’ epilogue, the mother of the child isn’t sent to prison, but rather is sent to a mental hospital.
In Webb We Trust!
FWIW I don't smoke much these days I just cut and pasted a stupid comment.
It’s a good thing the baby didn’t suffocate in there, too.
LOL Sure did on that show.
Chief Wiggum: Now, what I am about to show you next may shock and educate you. Hold onto your values as we step through the looking glass into a hippie pot party.
While Johnny Welfare plays acid rock on a stolen guitar, his old lady has a better idea.
That's right, she's got the munchies for a California Cheeseburger.
That was a great episode!
I call Bravo Sierra on this bogus story blaming pot. There’s more to it.
Those damn evil potheads!!!
This would never of happened if not for that evil weed!!
