Oddity Central: As bizarre as it sounds, smoking scorpions is not unheard of in South Asian countries, but according to regional media, the practice has recently been gaining popularity in several parts of Pakistan.
The scorpion venom can apparently put the smoker on an intense high, becoming highly addictive with time.
So how does one smoke a scorpion, anyway? Read more – w/ video.
“… smoke with … hashish …”
Man, lose the scorpion …
izlamo delenda est …
“O Death, where is thy sting?”
“Never mind – I found it.”

If I had to live there, I’d be finding ways to stay hammered.
I tried smoking a scorpion once, but i couldn’t keep it lit.
It must be real hard trying to get a scorpion into rolling papers in order to smoke it. And do you put the tail end towards the front or the back? And just how stupid would you have to be to smoke a scorpion in the first place?
G-d, my life is so boring.
@crazyeighter – I tried smoking a scorpion once and the little bastard kept trying to sting me.
@geoff – This is Afghanistan, yes? How stupid would you have to be to boink a goat? (-:
And do we even know if the first idiot who smoked a scorpion lived to tell the next idiot about it. Maybe that’s why they boink goats, nothing quite gives you double the pleasure like smoking a scorpion after a good goat boinking session.
I smoked a turkey once, didn’t get the least little bit of a buzz, but man, it sure tasted good!
I truly hope this catches on.
Lazlo lives in scorpion infested climes.
I shall produce a fine scorpion sting creme placebo that will sell nicely.
I’ve been stung by the bad ones (the tiny ones) and it hurts like being hit with a hammer.
I would have happily shelled out dearly for anything that had a picture of a scorpion and the word ‘relief’ on the label.

No thanks…I’ll stick to licking toads.
@geoff – This is Afghanistan, yes? How stupid would you have to be to boink a goat? (-:
Never mind how stupid, how horny would you have to be? More than High School days?
@crazyeighter – I admit NOTHING, but you do have a point.
Gosh. By doing donuts outside an 80’s arena concert? How else would one smoke the Scorpions?
