Nug in Nose – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny.
Go into any emergency room, and someone there will tell you about the light bulb. Is it necessarily a light buld? No. But let’s just go with a light bulb. And if you can already guess where this is going, good on you, but it’s where it goes, or rather, where it went that’s important here.
Yes, it went in the butt. Which some people treat as a comfy pocket for their personal items, and even, under the wrong circumstances, their drugs. But thhere is a stash orifice that automatically comes to mind. A little smaller, a little less give, but the human nostril has been a runner up for boofing. And just as much can go wrong.
Take the story of a former inmate in Sydney, Australia who had hidden a small plastic capsule of marijuana up his nostril. This was eighteen years-ago. Over the years, it had calcified, and the inmate had a few symptoms, but nothing major. A few months ago, his symptoms got worse, and a CT found his stash.
The calcification part isn’t crazy, per se. It happens to kids all the time who put things up their noses. Stickers, beads, little stuff. But even kids are smart enough not to stick a bag of pot
I have no idea if the pot was still smokeable. Petrified pot, damn.
How do you not know something like that is up your nose for eighteen years? He had to have wondered why he was always having sinus infections and nasal discharge. He must have lousy insurance.
But you know, here’s the thing too. The jail never found his pot, so is a nostril actually a good place to stash if you’re in the joint? That’s gotta equal a Yelp review for that jail.
Eighteen years. That pot is old enough to be hitting college. It’s old enough to vote and go to war.
