PENN TOWNSHIP, Pa. —

A Pennsylvania man was arrested Thursday after police said a human brain was recovered from under his home porch, which he used for smoking marijuana.

Joshua Long, 26, was charged on Thursday after his aunt found a human brain kept inside a Walmart shopping bag beneath the porch of Long’s trailer-home, The Washington Post reports. The aunt contacted Long in prison to ask about the brain and he told her it belonged to him and he used the embalming fluid to get high.

“The defendant related that he knew it was illegal to have the brain and that he and (another man) would spray the embalming fluid on ‘weed’ to get high,” Trooper John Boardman told the Associated Press. WPMT added the brain was real and was kept for teaching purposes before being stolen.

“At this point now we’re just trying to figure out where it came from,” Trooper Robert Hicks told WPMT. “We’re hoping that if anyone is missing a human specimen brain to bring it to our attention and maybe we can return it to its rightful owner.”

Long is in prison on several burglary convictions, but faces new charges of misdemeanor abuse of a corpse and conspiracy to commit abuse of a corpse.

    He didnt used the brain to get high.

    The brain came in a jar of embalming fluid.

    He named the brain Fred or Frank, took it out of the jar, put it in a bag, and tossed it under his porch.

    Then he sprayed the embalming fluid on his weed. Also known as smoking “wet” or when it’s a joint, its a “sherm stick”.

    Whats even more dumb about stealing a brain from a teacher for the formaldehyde? You can buy a whole bottle for less than weed costs. https://www.amazon.com/Science-Company%C2%AE-NC-1930-Formaldehyde-16oz/dp/B01ATO8VZ2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469070573&sr=8-2&keywords=formaldehyde

  • Wasn’t that a Steve Martin movie ? The Man With Two Brains ? I guess if you are going to keep a spare brain , under the porch is as good a place as any !

  • I was going to clean my room but I got high,
    I was going to pass my tests but then I got high…

    “Afroman”

      That song was really funny because it got passed around at first as a stoner song.

      Took the stoners a few listens to realize it’s actually an anti pot song.

      Us functioning stoners knew from the start though. Afroman is a punk b&*^%.

  • Anyone missing a brain please call area code 666 666-6666. Due to the political convention in town we expect to have a flood of responses, so please provide evidence that it is your brain that is missing. A CAT SCAN would be helpful ;-)

  • Incredible stupidity.
