Teen uses Bible page to roll cigarette

[snopes]

A 16-year-old boy who used a page from his Bible as a rolling paper for a marijuana joint was charged with drug possession.

So was the mother more upset over the marijuana or the use of the bible?

Personally I think the rolling of cigarettes of any type from the Bible's paper is a better use of the bible than some peoples reading of it.

It has long been known that the fine paper in a Bible makes an acceptable substitute for rolling papers. If he was smart he used the blank page in between the testaments, so that he would not be smoking ink as well.

The Lord on High, indeed.

I've heard of this before, is it that unusual?

I would guess it would be fairly common in prisons.

The tissue-thin pages out of the official school Bible were very commonly used as cigarette rolling papers when I was in high school. You could tell just how bad a nicotine habit someone had by how much was gone- Concordances, the index, Philemon, Titus, and so on.

Yeah, nicotine.
