I saw (and heard about) a lot of stuff and I was assumed to be a user myself - I remember being asked where to find drugs: <br />"Know where I can score some weed bro'?" <br />"Uh... sorry, no."<br />"How 'bout some trips?"<br /><br />I was even handed little 'gifts' now and then (even during performances) and began to suspect anything anyone handed me.

I mean, if there can be tuning forks, why not spotting knives (whatever that may be)?<br /><br />But my hopes that this would be something embarrassing to pin on the media has been dashed. <br /><br />I guess there's always the hope that this was <i>planted</i> there by the cops, or the knife was a sentimental thing brought by one of the Poker-8 as a reminder of their fond times, 2.5 to 6 years earlier, when they say they last smoked pot.kushibohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306033998028548550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869680.post-16767843051330242782009-07-21T11:39:22.711+09:002009-07-21T11:39:22.711+09:00Allow me (the not so innocent Schplook) to enlight...Allow me (the not so innocent Schplook) to enlighten you.<br /><br />Those are 'spotting' knives.<br /><br />As my background as a music student, and later a musician, put me in a good position to witness such activities, I'll pass on this valuable (so you know it when you see it) information to you.<br /><br />Using either a gas or electric range, the knives are heated until red-hot. This heat is often conducted through the metal to the handles so gloves or cloths are needed to hold them. Also, this is why knives are used rather than flat spoons - knives have thick handles that don't get hot as quickly.<br /><br />Marijuana is then made into small balls ('spots') and placed on the red-hot knife blades. The weed immediately begins to produce smoke which is then inhaled through the mouth. A funnel (such as a bottle with the bottom removed) can also be used to direct more of the smoke into the desired location.<br /><br />All this I say as a witness, you understand - not as a participant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
