'Keith Richards has acknowledged consuming a raft of illegal substances in his time, but this may top them all. In comments published Tuesday, the 63-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist said he had snorted his father's ashes mixed with cocaine.

"The strangest thing I've tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father," Richards was quoted as saying by British music magazine NME.'

In the Swedish Big Brother a few years back, a few contestants tricked a Blonde into snorting fruit salt.

That reminded me of a funny thing that happened in college. I walked into a friends room where he and couple other guys were seated around an empty chair. So I walked in and sat down. As I sat down they start gestualting jerkily and making strangled sorts of mewing sounds. Finally, someone was able to talk and they told me I just sat in a pile of MDA (I think it was) that they were snorting. Well the natural reaction was to jump up and brush my butt off, which I did.

If I knew then what I know now then I would know more now than I know.

If I answer that question, I'm gonna look almost as bad as Keith Richards...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Don't try this one at home, or anywhere.

I didn't snort them, but in or around 1964, I ate three commercial packets of white and blue morning glory seeds, after (if I recall rightly) reading a fascinating article in Scientific American by a certain Dr. Timothy Leary.

As I lay on my bed, sweating profusely, I hallucinated a series of glowing, multicolored concentric rings against blackness, and "knew" that I was at the center. All was well and right, and I felt exhilarated.

After an unmeasured interval, I became aware of a Darkness greater that blackness pressing against "my" outer ring of light. I was terrified. One ring after another was devoured by this inimical force, and my panic grew. Finally, my last central redoubt was overwhelmed, and there was nothingness.

Another interval passed. Then I suddenly saw a vividly glowing green leaf sprouting from nothing againt the darkness. The leaf sprouted another, and that one budded another, until there was a whole plant. And it was Good. I awoke, laying in sweat-soaked sheets.

I later learned that commercial flower seeds such as those I ate are laced with strychnine to deter pests. I learned that the seeds should have been soaked in water for many hours to get out the poison, then dried. I think my "trip" may haver almost killed me. But I did almost believe in reincarnation for a few months. This experience also made me both understand and avoid LSD in the hippy years that were soon to follow.

News flash/snort...Richards says comment was a joke taken seriously. I still think, yeah, he could have done it.

1) Keith Richards died in 1971.

The drugs has been moving the corpse ever since.

2) Keith Richards is the healthiest person alive because the toxicicy of his body due to drug use makes it uninhabitable by any germ.

3) PSA of Keith Richards saying "Don't do drugs". Response from viewers: "We can't, Keith. You did them all".

Yeah. Old jokes. Sorry.

"Six Feet Under" (an HBO drama about a family that owns a funeral home) had an episode where a young woman died of a cocaine overdose and her friends have her cremated and then snort her ashes. But these were her dippy young friends, not exactly the same as snorting your own father's ashes. Guess the old saying that reality is even stranger than fiction holds true.

They were surprised anyone took him seriously? I'm surprised anyone understood what he said at all.

Wow Three Stooges Syndrome, I thought Mr. Burns was the only one with that.

I never snorted anything worth mentioning, though Ive been to those places the Bene Gesserit will not look and I saw HalfMooner staring back at me.

Im back from the dead now though and Im well rested.

How high do you have to be to think that snorting the ashes of a dead person is a good idea?


Ignorance is preferable to error; and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing, than he who believes what is wrong.
