How to save a Parse Object that has a reference to a User object?

I have a function that creates a new Comment object and saves it to the database. Before saving it the comment text, the id of the object it is attached to, as well as a pointer to the user object that posted the comment are set on the object before it is saved. However when run I get the error:

Cannot create pointer to unsaved parse object

Here is the code in question: 

this.postComment = function(comment, objectId) {
   // Get logged in user
   var currentUser = Parse.User.current();

   // extend and create new Comment object
   var Comment = Parse.Object.extend('Comment');
   var comment = new Comment();
   // Set fields to be saved
   comment.set('object', objectId);
   comment.set('commentText', comment);
   comment.set('user', currentUser);

   // Save new comment to db
   comment.save(null, {
      success: function(comment) {
         console.log("success");
      },
      error: function(comment, error) {
         console.log(error);
      }
   });
}

This leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the User object that I am pointing to but the User exists in the database and is even retrieved using Parse.User.current()

I've looked at other posts with the same error but I have yet to find a solution to this problem. Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide.

Just change the function parameter name or handle local comment object assignment. Check if it works after.
