3 accused of using corpse head to smoke pot
no i also think this story is fucking hilarious
not so much the graverobbing, but hey, people have done that for stupider reasons [i'm guessing]
i just find it hilarious that they went through the effort to make a skull a bong, i understand it might be hard for teenagers to get real bongs or pipes but damn, or worse yet use computer paper
skulls have so many cracks and holes that it would take too much effort for the average stoner to give a crap after a few minutes
though personally, i'd have just turned it into a hookah
with the tubes coming out of the eyes and nose, now that would have been trippy

Story sounds a bit sensational (like some sort of terrible attempt at negative mj propoganda..it makes you dig up people and smoke through their heads!!!!), On the other hand there's some huge weirdos out there so you never know I guess. Disgusting though.

That's so effing nasty man....really.
Whatever happened to an apple, a bottle with a hole in the side, a freaking pop can even...all easily used as smoking devices.

How To Make a Skull Bong
A guide for the ultimate deadhead.
By Arthur Delaney

On Thursday, the Houston Chronicle posted a story on its Web site about three teenagers who, according to Houston police, dug up the grave of an 11-year-old boy buried in 1921, removed the corpse's head, and used it as a bong to smoke marijuana. Police have not found the head and say heavy rain has prevented them checking the open grave for a casket. If it's true that the kids stole a skull, could they really have used it as a bong?
Maybe. If the Texas teenagers recovered a skull in ideal condition, they would still have a lot of work to do before they could smoke weed out of it. There are different types of bongs, but any workable model must offer a seal tight enough that water and smoke cannot escape. Assuming the skull was used right-side up, and that the pot-smokers used the brain cavity as their bong chamber, thin fissures in the eye sockets and any other holes would need to be sealed with something like grout to prevent the smoke from seeping out. The teens would also have to cover over the base of the skull, which contains a large opening through which spinal nerves reach the brain. And there are dozens of small nerve holes, called foramina, which might produce a watering-can effect if left unplugged.
The most effective skull bong might include a removable "slide," a tube that holds lighted marijuana in a bowl on one end and carries smoke into the water in the chamber at the other end. The slide could be inserted into the chamber via a snug hole in an airtight seal over the nasal opening. The user would need to drill a hole in the top of the skull to use as a mouthpiece. While lighting the marijuana in the bowl, the user would suck on the mouthpiece to draw smoke through the water and into the chamber; then he would remove the slide and inhale the smoke.
If the skull were too brittle to be easily drilled, the teenagers might have flipped it upside down. Then they could put the slide through the nose as before but use the large hole at the base of the skullâ??the foramen magnumâ??as the mouthpiece. The disadvantage of this method would be the tendency for the skull bong to roll over when set down.
This all assumes that the teenagers had gotten their hands on an undamaged skull. The decomposition of a corpse depends on a number of factors, such as whether the body has been embalmed, what type of casket is used, and the conditions of the surrounding environment. In ideal conditions, an embalmed body might be covered in leathery flesh for years, which would make using the head as a bong unappealing to squeamish stoners. (There might be some residual brain tissue left inside.) In less pristine conditions, groundwater might have eroded everything, even the bones.

This seems like so much effort for a doubtful payoff --- I think if I found out I was smoking out of a real skull, I'd probably puke.

I wonder if on "cop forums" they post this story and then post lots of replies and rants that have nothing to do with the people in the story, but instead go on and on bashing all "pot heads".
I am sure there is that rogue cop though that sticks up for us and tries to explain that is just "those" people, and is not representative of EVERYONE that uses cannabis. I bet he gets flamed too.:D:jointsmile::D
It's a funny story, those people are dumbfucks. And I hope you all learned a lesson, and think twice before you let your own personal rage about cannabis being illegal and all that goes along with that fuel a hate filled rant against "cops" in general when someone posts a video of some cop being a douche. I am sure that you could find just as many examples, example for example of people using cannabis, being jack asses too. I would hope that everyone that knows me does not assume that I would do what these people did just because I use cannabis too! Do you get it?:jointsmile:
