I know it's hard to find a head shop in some towns, but this is taking things a little too far.
Three teenagers in the Kingwood community of Houston, Texas have been charged with "misdemeanor
abuse of a corpse," a phrase that makes me wonder just what more
serious abuse of a corpse would be. (Actually, forget I said that, I
don't want to know.) What they did was dig up a body and turn the skull
into a bong. Yes, gentle reader. To smoke the merry-jee-wanna.
Even better -- one of the sacreligious stoners actually offered this information, unasked, to police while they interviewed him regarding a
stolen debit card. Asked why [the teen] would volunteer such a story, [police officer] Sgt. John Chomiak said,
"We can only speculate and guess to what goes on in the criminal mind." Somehow I think he said something slightly more unprintable.
The police had to notify the next of kin to tell them that not only was the grave dug up, the skull was used to smoke pot. "So how was your day at work, dear?" "Oh, the usual. A couple of robberies, a drunk. Oh yeah, and a skull bong. Had to call the family. What's for dinner?"
At the end of the news item is this little tidbit: all three doped-up
gravediggers are homeschooled. I always knew those homeschoolers were
trouble.
Stories like this remind me of my teenage years growing up in New York.
Not that we dug up graves. In fact, for all the crazy stuff we did
(sorry, mom) we never did anything remotely this insane.
