Weed Makes You Stupid

Facebook mom posts photographs of her 11 month old baby with a bong:

A teenage Florida mom thought it'd be funny to snap a picture of her 11-month-old son playing with a bong and slap it on Facebook, but the half-baked scheme landed her in the clink.

Cops busted Rachel Stieringer, 19, of Keystone Heights, after a computer user in Texas saw the picture and called an abuse hotline to report her.

Stieringer was charged late last month with possession of drug paraphernalia and posted $502 bail.

It doesn't appear the baby boy was injured, and drug tests on him came back negative.

Musta been a Democrat

Funny, I was gonna say she's a shining example of the Republican policy, No Child Left Behind. Pregnant teenager letting her kid get stoned sounds like typical Republican *lack of* education to me.

No, she's just an idiot.

A Democrat? In FLORIDA?! Surely you jest.

Weed does not make you stupid, but apparently living in Texas and/or Florida does. This girl is dumber than a sack of dead gerbils for posting the picture on facebook and assuming there'd be no problems. But the person who reported her and the cops who work the beat in Keystone Heights (seriously? Keystone cops? Fucking seriously?!) are every bit as stupid. What do you think would happen if this same baby was photographed in his high chair holding his little baby fork with a huge T-bone steak right in front of him and someone posted that on facebook? Would the exact same thing have happened? I highly doubt it. But why? A steak is WAY more dangerous in this circumstance (esp. considering that the fucking thing wasn't lit, and even if it were a baby can't drag on a goddamn bong. Most ADULTS can't, for that matter). Everyone involved with this situation (except for the baby) deserves a firm smack and a good scolding. No more, no less.

I'm walkin' back the "Texas and/or Florida" crack. It's 4:15am and even now I think it's too broad a brush stroke. The rest I totally stand by.

I think it's more that being 19 makes you stupid, myself.

I know I was.

My old man was put out of business for selling "drug paraphenalia" back in the day when crusaders decided bongs and the like ("head shops") should be outlawed. They were in NY.

I'm glad to see one of them slipped through the cracks and was put to good use.

Most intoxicants make you stupid. It's not a bug, it's a feature . . .

On the other hand, being the parent of a toddler also makes you stupid. Been there, done that.

Celine, lotsa Democrats in Florida. Just, not quite a majority.

Dusty, something odd with your blogger ID verification -- asks me to type in the word, but the captcha doesn't show up *until* I try to publish once. Using Firefox on a Mac.

Actually, I'd say her biggest mistake was having unprotected sex a couple of years ago.
