Three teenagers were arrested after two of them told police they dug up a secluded grave north of Houston, removed the skull from the coffin and converted it into a marijuana bong.
Police believe the grave is that of an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921.
They found a grave in the city of Humble that had been disturbed, but were still investigating the rest of the teens' story, Houston police Sgt. John Chomiak said.
CBS affiliate KHOU-TV in Houston reports that police do not have any physical evidence yet to confirm the story, but felt confident to pursue charges based on statements from the three teens.
Kevin Wade Jones, 17, and Matthew Richard Gonzalez, 17, both of Kingwood, were arrested Wednesday night and were being held on misdemeanor charges of abuse of a corpse, Chomiak said. A 16-year-old was referred to the Harris County juvenile justice system.

there is absolutely nothing about taking hits out of a skull that is even remotely funny.
-
I think moral outrage is funny.
-
Wow.
All I can say is W-O-W.
Some people must be hard-pressed for money for a new bong. Sheesh.-

Besides, what the hell is this all about?
"Houston reports that police do not have any physical evidence yet to confirm the story, but felt confident to pursue charges based on statements from the three teens. "
They don't even have evidence! Even if you have a level 5 pothead on your hands who talks about how sweet it would be to have a skull as a bong, there is no way this person could muster up enough motivation to leave the couch. And the ability to engineer a bong out of a skull? The technical skill to achieve that is pretty advanced.
I'm guessing that this story is manufactured propaganda directed towards the war on drugs. And also designed to distract us from stuff that matters. Stuff like smoking weed out of normal bongs with pretty ladies. -

That is going to fuck with their heads, seriously, the ghost spirit of that child will haunt them forever. Probably until they will end up killing themselves to try to get away from the ghost, but lifes irony, is that if you are dead, you are still a ghost & can still be haunted by another ghost. It's true, I saw it on Scooby Doo.

I think this may explain why someone would do something so twisted.

Am I the only one grossed out by this?

This story is very creepy, I'm for people getting stoned, but this is morbid.

Come on, you can get resin casts for that kind of thing. Theres also that store in the Bay Area that sells bones.

Yet more proof that drugs are stupid and the people who use them...are, well, very weird in this case.
These people have redefined the term "pot-head"-

It was called "Frankenstein Zombie" man.... -
i also think it's morbid but owell,
I'm also a card carrying member of P.O.O.P

Throughout history there have been dysfunctional people, with no morals, adults and children. Some abuse animals, some rob, murder ...
Their crime is not due to marijuana. It is due to their lack of morals. They should be shamed and locked up, just like any other criminal.
Grave robbers for any reason is a terrible, terrible thing. Shame on them. It's hard to think of what could be worse, but sad to say despicable things are done every day.
Despicable people who do despicable things are the ones who should be in jail. -
sweetdeal, you are so right. The chances that they dug up a body, prepared a skull for smoking is probably slim to nun.
In a few months they will report on the back page of some paper, 'it was all a hoax', they didn't dig up a grave to get a body, remove the head, prepare the skull, just to get high.
Lately there has been a dialog on current and other sites regarding cannabis and industrial hemp. A story soo despicable will stop the conversation. No one will want to talk about cannabis or industrial hemp, because people will think about these three kids in this story smoking from a skull.
There have been distractions put out by mainstream media and the government every time legal cannabis/hemp is discussed. Thereby stifling the conversation. If they manage to stifle the conversation through yellow journalism, it benefit’s the people who are making money from competitive products.

I can see how this can be very taboo to a lot of people. Skulls remind us of death and people are scared of death. At the same time these kids are not that weird. I mean they are weird but so are a lot of people. Case in point you ever hear of the Capuchin Church of the Immaculate Conception? Those guys used skeletons for art and more importantly the worship of god. Now that to me is weird. -
i thought poop standed for protesting outrageous oil prices...jk
ummm i do not think these kids are anything like the average pot head. They were ither severely disturbed, or on other drugs besides pot.
when was the last time you've heared of a pot head motivated enough to do all that work. I think it's a horrible thing that was done and these kids should pay.
But trust me something got to them before the weed.-

here is a better one -
It's disrespectful brats like this who give others excuses to hate marijuana more. They will see this story and think that it's the drug use that causes them to do these acts when in reality they are just punk kids and would be just as disrespectful whether they are smoking pot or not.
... I wonder what there parents are like.-

This proves that pot is a gateway drug, and causes necrophiliac tendencies.
-
lwhi, this does nothing of the sort. It proves nothing other than kids do bad things and lack respect. Causes necrophiliac tendencies? Because a couple kids act up? Kids steal cars, doesn't make every driver a car thief. Group punishment is wrong! Others should not be held accountable for individuals bad behavior. Punish the ones who misbehave and move on.
If kids steal legal drugs from their parents medicine cabinets, should we make legal drugs illegal? Doesn't make sense!
Some comments sound good, but they are misguided, none the less. It's an 'Assault on Reason'. -
I'm sorry Conneipae - the previous poster mentioned that people will read the story and associate the acts with cannabis use.
Something very childish rose-up in me, and prompted me to do just that. It was silly.
-
Oh yeah by the way, pot doesn’t necessarily make you lazy. I use to smoke pot so I can say from experience that it is a little absurd to claim they were incapable of digging up a body. They could’ve done it when they were not on pot just as easily as they could of done it on pot. Stereotypes are lame, come on grow up. Do you know how many people there are who work construction jobs on pot? How about the number of people who smoke pot and play sports? Like I said lame argument. I suspect none of you have actually smoked pot which is really silly since you’re commenting about pot heads.
-
Generalisations are generally lazy.

We all know that pot ruins lives.

Oh my god they are potheads! I get their agenda now. They're just mad cause those guys came up with a better idea for a bong. Sneaky bastards.
-
sarahjesse,
Is it really the pot that ruins lives, or the illegality put on cannabis/hemp that ruins lives? Do you really know anyone that has had their lives ruined due to cannabis/hemp? Would their lives have been ruined due to their own personal problems, had cannabis/hemp not been added to the mix?
The terms 'pot'/'marijuana' are used to demonize cannabis/hemp. People say it's a gateway drug. I tend to disagree. The gateway comes from the fact that cannabis is not strong enough to wash away the problems they are trying to get away from. Many turn to harder drugs and alcohol searching for a stronger substance to escape from personal problems.
I have to admit, life is hard and with the propaganda put out about marijuana, they smoke thinking it will make their lives easier. When it doesn't, they move on, in search of some other substance which they think will ease their misery. -
Cannabis and Cannibal sound so similar, what a horrible thing to associate with something so miraculous. Here are two words together that could play on people's fears.
Although I only say horrible, because it is mostly on religious grounds that people object to both. Frankly I don't see a problem with either.

so many differant and interesting comments ive read. in my oppinion however, i do believe that this is a true story and also they might not have been high at the time it happened ,or possibly on some other type of drugs. i do feel that it was a complete violation to the childs corpes inside the coffen. how sad (rest in peace) not for him. i think that kids get so incredibly bored with the things that have already been done that they feel they need to up the anty, and make there own story.

i knew a guy once who'd brought back the skull of some dude he met on iwo jima , and had had an argument with over something to do with who should leave the planet first , and he filled it with sand and used it as a doorstop , but only after his wife insisted he couldn't use it as a paperweight on their desk . skulls can be useful , though smoking through one seems sort of weird to me .
-
Ha this is funny. I really can't get mad. The kid was dead he's not using it. I'm more curious what would prompt him and his buddies to do something like this. It's really out of the ordinary. Thinking outside the box is a good thing so good job guys, you messed up when you told the cops though.
