While
authorities may have encountered formaldehyde-laced marijuana, using
a dead person’s brain for drug purposes shocked some
investigators.
In
the heyday---or I should say Mary Jane's day (or grassday) of my
pot-smoking life---the last thing that I wanted to do is to spray
anything on the marijuana that I smoked.
The
thought never crossed my mind.
In
fact, very little crossed my mind when I was stoned.
I
was aware that the government was spraying herbicides on marijuana
fields, but again, I didn't think about that when I was getting
high.
The
peculiar news story above really got my attention.
Someone
had been using a human brain to get high?
Wow!
How?
It
was strange just that there was another person's brain in someone's
house.
Forget
that the brain was being used to get high.
Of
course, as it turned out, it was other things in the brain that were
being used to get high, not the brain itself.
“It
(the
brain)
even had a name: 'Freddy'.”
I
thought that my own mind would be blown away, or at least become high
from this news story.
No
such luck.
“The
defendant related that he knew it was illegal to have the brain and
that he and (another man) would spray the embalming fluid on ‘weed’
to get high,”
Trooper John Boardman, an investigator involved in the case, wrote in
court documents cited by the AP.
It
made me a little sick.
One
more thing that was kind of strange and amusing was the offense that
was cited:
“...misdemeanor
abuse of a corpse and conspiracy to commit abuse of a corpse.”
Wow!
Even
our dead bodies have rights!
One
more thing is I wish that the news story had been written like this:
“At
this point now, we’re just trying to figure out where it came
from,”
Pennsylvania
state trooper Bob Hicks
said.
“We’re
hoping that if anyone feels like they’re missing their brain, bring
it to our attention and maybe we could return it to the rightful
owner.”
IT'S
ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES
