Family Living in a Homeless Shelter Named Baby After Their Favorite Drug
The mother and baby photographed in Denver, Colorado, while participating in the 2008 Democratic National Convention:
The baby in this scene looked so comfortable in the 90° plus heat that I had to stop and say hi. The young woman told me that she was living in a homeless shelter with her husband and the baby. When I asked what she had named her baby, I got a big shock. Sativa I recognized instantly as part of the scientific name for marijuana, which is Cannabis Sativa. This child has been named after a drug. Sweet and befuddled might describe the mother’s demeanor. Heartsick and disturbed would describe mine.
I wonder if they will have enough sense not to share their smokes with the little one until she is at least, I don’t know… 8?
