Mom Charged With Teaching 2 Year Old To Smoke Pot

An Ohio mother has been accused of teaching her 2 year-old daughter to smoke marijuana after she e-mailed friends a video of her child taking puffs of a joint.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said that 21-year-old Jessica Gamble of the Cincinnati area was arrested Sept. 10th and remains in jail on a charge of corrupting another with drugs. Bond was set at $10,000.

Deters says Gamble is accused of providing her daughter with marijuana on June 12. He says the case will be presented to a grand jury to determine the nature and scope of the charges. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has removed the child from Gamble's care.

Prosecutors released the grainy mobile phone video after Gamble's indictment this week. On it, the child appears to take a puff from a thickly rolled marijuana cigarette as a woman identified as Gamble laughs and tells her, "Don't blow on it."

When the girl brings the joint to her, the woman asks, "What is that? What is that?" Taking the pot from the child, she chuckles and says, "Bad."

The 21-year-old mother could face up to 11 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
