Part of being a good parent is making sure you put your offspring before your selfish desires. The first and easiest step in that process is to stop getting high, because if you don’t your child will suffer. In some cases the child’s suffering will be horrendous and unfortunately fatal:

INDIANA, Pa. — State police said a western Pennsylvania woman was high on marijuana when she rolled onto her infant son while sleeping, killing him.

Jessica Wojno, 24, of Indiana, remains in the Indiana County Jail on involuntary manslaughter and marijuana possession charges.

Police said she found her baby, 4-month-old Joseph Wojno, dead beneath her when she woke up July 11. Authorities said her estranged husband came to the house that morning and she told him the baby was sleeping, even though she knew he was dead.

The boy was taken to the emergency room of the Indiana Regional Medical Center and was pronounced dead a short time later.

So tell me again how legalizing pot would have prevented this tragedy?

This woman’s selfishness and irresponsibility killed her baby. She had a choice to make between being a good mother or dwelling in her immaturity, and her choice was to pretend she was still a child herself with no responsibilities and no tiny life depending on her for safety and security.

Anthony Smith of Knoxville is one of the foot soldiers of the New World Order, carrying out secret missions at the behest of his shadowy reptilian masters. His masters are learning the hard way that it’s hard to find good help these days:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – It wasn’t the preferred way to enter the Knoxville Museum of Art, but Richard Anthony Smith told police he was on a mission. The 25-year-old Knoxville man called 911 from his cell phone before dawn Wednesday saying he was trapped in an air conditioning duct leading from the museum roof, Knoxville police spokesman Darrell DeBusk said.

Police and firefighters reached the roof, found a rope and cable and followed them to a vent shaft. Peering inside, they spotted Smith about 45 feet down.

“Mission failed,” he told them.

Hoisted up and read his rights, Smith told police he was a “special agent from the United States Illuminati, badge number 0931” and had rappelled onto the museum from a helicopter, a police report said.

He said he was following orders to “defuse and confiscate” a Soviet-made nuclear warhead, specifically a “MERV6SS-22AN” warhead, according to the report. The bomb supposedly was hidden in a blue, plastic cow sculpture in the museum basement, he said.

However, Smith told officers his “agency” called while he was in air-vent limbo to say it made a mistake and the bomb might be in a Memphis museum instead.

Police charged Smith with aggravated robbery. He was being held on $2,000 bond at the Knox County Jail. Authorities said he did not have a lawyer.

“Fortunately he was able to reach his cell phone,” DeBusk said, “or he may not have been found for quite some time.“

In other words if this moron hadn’t been just sane enough to call for help he would have died in that air vent. I guess all that trutherism and N.W.O. nonsense isn’t just a harmless eccentricity that allows you to milk suckers of their hard earned money after all. Alex Jones, I’m looking at you.

Anyone here think a little pot was involved?

Timothy Wood got high and started driving down a lonely Alaskan highway. But that’s O.K. right? It’s not like drinking and driving:

ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A driver who was under the influence of marijuana was sentenced to three years in prison for criminally negligent homicide in the death of a 53-year-old woman killed on the Seward Highway.

Timothy Wood, 33, was behind the wheel when his Chevy Blazer crossed the center line and slammed into a car driven by Diane Bahnson of Girdwood in 2005.

Wood’s blood tested positive for marijuana.

Troopers said Wood was driving erratically before the accident.

Wood was originally charged with second-degree murder, but technical problems with the blood test evidence made it hard to take the case to trial, according to prosecutors. In a plea agreement, the charge was reduced to criminally-negligent homicide.

Bahnson’s parents and husband came to Wood’s sentencing hearing. They urged Superior Court Judge Philip Volland to give the stiffest sentence possible under the agreement.

“I believe Mr. Wood has gotten away with murder,” Bahnson’s husband, Reid, told the judge. “He destroyed not only one life, but many.”

Wood apologized to the family. He said not a day goes by that he does not think about what he has done.

I bet. Any pot heads want to claim this had nothing to do with marijuana?

Another case where whether or not Marijuana was legal wouldn’t have changed the outcome of its use. I’m willing to hear arguments as to how legalization would have helped this baby:

Maybe we should decriminalize pot smoking but still allow the drug’s use to be a factor in child welfare checks and allow employers and landlord’s the option of not hiring or renting to drug users without fear of legal reprisals? Oh but then legalization proponents would be homeless and out of a job.
