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.
“Thankfully he had not turned the oven on. “
Yes, Maybe it was the influence of the pot that actually kept him from turning on the oven....
This thread makes me want to spark up a joint. Where do you buy pot now?
When smoking da ganja, the only person that is supposed to get baked is the smoker.
