Has anyone ever smoked pipe dope?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) January 22nd, 2013

People are now snorting bath salts even though they have no Earthly idea what’s in the stuff. So it just dawned on me that somebody must have concluded anything called dope could be smoked. What happens when someone gives pipe dope a try? Is there anything so obviously a bad idea that nobody will try it to get high?

You’re not referring to the stuff you rub on plumbing fixtures before attaching them are you?

^ This.

Though, if people will huff spraypaint, there has to be at least one person stupid enough to go for the Darwin award this way.

@ETpro, “bath salts” is how unscrupulous companies market a new synthetic stimulant under the radar. Much the same way that herbs and supplements which are not federally scheduled substances, but still not cleared by the FDA, must be marketed as something “not for human consumption.”

What?
No thanks, I like my bath salts in my bath, not my lungs.
I DO like smoking “dope” on occasion though. lol

PVC cement? Dude that stuff is hella incendiary. I mean the flash point is really low. I would imagine people might try to inhale it.

Nope, just plain ‘ol home grown for me thanks. All that other stuff hadn’t been invented (or discovered) in the little town I grew up in.

The bath salts that are designed to be snorted are quite different from the bath salts that are designed to scent your bath (or whatever it is that they do).

As far as I know, there is no “pipe dope” that is designed to get you high.

However, people do smoke oregano on occasion. Since getting high must be at least half placebo effect, I’ll bet a lot of people actually do get high on oregano.

Nahhh I’ll just stick to jenkem :P

Love that fox new fell for some trolls on the web. Butt Hash :P

Gotta say its weird seeing a gov related drug video that’s actually informative, then again I guess thats cause bath salts are pretty fuckin horrible all around so there is no way to use propaganda there lol
The navy guy talkin about bath salts looks high as fuck…

Probably shouldn’t admit this but when there was no pot available (rarely occurred) when I was in HS, we would powder asprin and smoke it with tobacco. Different, more face numbing than mind numbing but would do in a pinch. No pipe dope however. Did try glue once (contact cement). Too f*@kin’ weird. Never did it again.

@Adirondackwannabe Talking about this.

@Seek_Kolinahr So does anybody huff the stuff, then?

@bookish1 Yeah, they keep tweaking the formula by one chemical bond or another. Who cares what long-term effects the crap has. If it doesn’t instantly kill the lab rats, then there are fools big enough to buy it.

@Coloma I wouldn’t even recommend putting those bath salts in an actual bath.

@woodcutter Right, easy to light.

@majorrich Nice holistic attitude.

@wundayatta I’m talking about the kind we have all know since we were kids. It gets water high in your pipes without letting it leak out.

@uberbatman Ha! Here’s a less hyperventilating report on butt hash.

@rojo Ha! Next question, Anybody ever glue their nose to the tube when sniffing glue?
