Montana Couple Accused Of Letting 2-Year-Old Boy Smoke Marijuana

A couple in Montana is facing charges for allegedly allowing a two-year-old boy to smoke marijuana, NBC Montana reported.

On Feb. 27, Lucas Keith Wilson and Camilla Rose Samuels were charged on felony and misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child, followed by a $50,000 arrest warrant for Wilson but no arrest warrant for Samuels.

According to court records, an investigation into the couple began in August after Samuels' mother told authorities she saw a video on her daughters phone of Wilson's son putting a pipe in his mouth.

Both Wilson and Samuels allegedly told investigators that they let the boy smoke marijuana a total of five times since August because it calmed him down.

Additionally, official documents claim they recently had a baby that tested positive for marijuana and meth when he was born.

In January, a two-year-old girl in Colorado tested positive for marijuana.

When Aida Hernandez noticed her daughter, Evelyn, seemed weak, she immediately took her to the hospital where tests showed she had ingested pot, which is legal in the state.

However, Evelyn's mother claimed the incident occurred after her daughter ate a cookie she found on the grass outside of their apartment, which she reportedly took away from Evelyn immediately.

While local authorities believe the mother, they decided to pursue an investigation. However, after searching her house, they found no evidence of marijuana.

"It's everywhere now that it's legal they have it everywhere," Hernandez said to CBS News, referring to the state's legalization of marijuana.
