@futurebird also, the “crack baby” fear mongering? They’d show videos of low-birth-weight babies with tremors and predict low-intelligence, lives of crime, and future drug addiction.
Premature babies weigh less and often have those tremors. Yeah, crack usage resulted in earlier labor, so they were often born prematurely, but they were otherwise normal for preemies.
And a decades-long study shows no lingering effects on behavior or intelligence.
