1. I am nearly certain that infants can be born with cocaine dependency. Ergo crack babies exist.

And then Ugly girds her loins for battle:

4. Once they withdraw from the drug

They develop normally, with deficits that can be attributed to poverty, not drugs.
 
The form of cocaine an infant has in its blood stream can't be identified as either crack or lines of powder. The name "crack baby" was only to whip up public hysteria about another thing hung around the necks of the poor that really didn't belong there in order to demonize them.

7. fortunately, it leaves quickly

and then the kid develops normally.

That's really the bottom line.

2. #1 is especially pernicious

I read in a medical journal (forgot which one, this was in the 90s) that the per capita number of opiate addicts had not changed from the days opiates were over the counter. Some people have funky brain chemistry and it seems they will always find the appropriate drug for self medication.
 
A longitudinal study of people who had taken LSD also concluded at about that same time. They found few differences between former trippers and their sober counterparts except that former trippers tended to gravitate to the more altruistic professions. I certainly did.
 
Personally, I don't find that a big down side to that drug but the plutocracy undoubtedly disagrees.
 
I'd rather deal with crazies high on PCP than drunks.*

In any case, the drug war was misguided when it started and is now a proven failure. The pipeline is wide open to adults and children, alike and the street drugs are unsafe, cut with trash and of questionable potency. Violent gangs are flourishing, financed by black market prices on the stuff.
 
It's time try something else.

5. The dirty secret is that opiates are kinder to body systems

than non opiate analgesics are.

They're enormously kinder to body systems than either alcohol or tobacco.

9. I've seen a few people react badly to grass

All of them have to be evaluated as to risk versus benefit.

Most people want clear heads most of the time. After the third day postop after heart or abdominal vascular surgery, patients would try to cope without pain medication because they wanted their brains to work right, even the ones who'd gone "whee!" the first day and scared us to death. There is no reason to believe such people, the overwhelming majority of the population, would run to pharmacies for drugs unless they were in pain and needed them.
 
The drug war has been a dismal failure, but no more obviously than in the number of people who live their lives in untreated pain.

21. Pretty much

One rheumatologist in town was infamous for never prescribing pain medication. I got one of his patients one night, an elderly "failure to thrive" man with a minor cardiac problem. I saw a skinny old man writhing in bed, holding his knees.
 
I knew the rheumy was a shithead, so I called the cardiologist about it and got him some Percocet. An hour later I went into the room and he'd changed into his own PJs, was sitting up in bed doing a crossword puzzle, and asked me if there was anything to eat. He downed two boxed lunches. Failure to thrive, my ass. It was failure to get his pain treated. While he was in the hospital, he was kept comfortable on three pills a day (not a huge dose) and put on weight. Unfortunately, he was stuck with Dr. Shithead when he got home.

In DUmmy Warpy's case, that "altruistic profession" was drug theft, for which she is still paying the price.

Ugly misunderstands the meaning of "altruistic."

There was a time when nurses were poorly paid--and this was nowhere in Ugly's time--and so it demanded sacrifice on the part of those who wanted to work in the profession, as they could've made more money working in some other job.

My mother was a classic case of this, in New York City during the 1940s.  Even though a registered nurse, she was paid less than salesgirls at Macy's department store.

That ain't true any more, nor has it been for a long time now.

Being altruistic involves sacrifice.

It certainly seems to be arguing just that and, regardless of whiny marxist foolishness, there are most certainly effects on the child's development in addition to the societal ones mentioned.

However, it feels good so, by all means, do it.

I wondered that myself.

It seems an odd defense of drug use.

You stupid hag, kids born addicted have plenty of problems in childhood and throughout life. There are delays in development and it really screws them up. Tell me then how is it when addicted babies that are adopted by well to do families continue to have issues then?

That is a bold face lie, but just as important is the revelation that the handouts we give the "poor" is enough for them to afford cocaine.  Just shot yourself in the foot there, Sparky.

Some drugs, like alcohol or nicotine, constrict blood vessels in the brain producing a temporary sedating effect. Others like THC (marijuana) affect the neuro-transmitters in the brain and alter the genes producing permanent damage. GOOGLE THC.

I think that moron is high herself. Does she really believe that an infant exposed to something like cocaine during brain development might not be affected in some way?they are not mature; they are developing critical human functions while in utero.  As a former nurse that she supposedly was can she please explain then why any legal medications have any sort of discouragement against pregnant, breast feeding, and even childbearing women using them if exposure to drugs just washes out of a baby's system No problem. I tend to think we play a bit of mockery and stereotyping with duers but in this case I'm starting to believe coaches assessment of the shamed and road out on the rail exnurse who was swiping meds to support a habit.

My aunt and uncle are foster parents.

Every single one of them has issues with health and/or delayed development. Hardly seems "normal".
