Not Satire, Just Stupid: Colorado’s ‘Pot Pregnancies’ Birthing New Generation of Crack Babies [View all]

Considering the so-called "crack baby epidemic" has now been completely debunked as Reagen-era Drug War BS (see the NY Times expose just a year or two ago called 'The Epidemic That Wasn't" for further details), this is some very, very funny stuff.

From G. Becks's "The Blaze", natch.

"In order to treat symptoms as well as help alleviate the pain of the withdrawal process, the physicians in Colorado report they have had to reintroduce doses of THC to expectant mothers, which of course leaves their babies susceptible to addiction and the complications above which often must be treated in neonatal units.
