Lynnwood Kid Drinks Meth Bong Water, Later Dies

Want further proof America is going to hell? The Seattle Times reports kids in Lynnwood are drinking the bong water from meth pipes to get high.

According to the Times, “Worb water" is the meth-laced water that's left in a water pipe after it's been used to smoke methamphetamines.”

Move over crack-pipe scrapers, there’s a new scumbag on the drug-desperation block and he’s called “worb water." Silly us thought drinking normal bong water was an all-time low on the desperate drug-ingestion scale and now we get to find out kids in Lynnwood are drinking the skin-melting afterbirth from meth bongs. That’s literally worse than snorting the sand out at Hanford, in terms of blatant disregard for one’s health.

Pot bongs are smelly, in a murky/organic sense. Meth bongs probably glow in the dark and emit electromagnetic energy. The willingness to drink the stuff is nothing short of insane.

Apparently the drinker became suddenly involved in a lustful trip-out which resulted in his fatal beating. The story is no doubt sad; we can only hope this fatality was the result of some lone junkie pioneer and not a sign of things to come from the Lynnwood High School system.

what the hell is wrong with people?

Ron - yes.

BGF - The Times' article insinuates that this is not a one time deal. I'm sure you can at least agree that if it wasn't a trend before, it will be now.

And please, lose the fear mongering. There was none. It may have been sensationalized, but there is no mongering of fear when talking about the drug called meth. It is an epidemic. Period.

Troy,

A quick google search shows that the ONLY mention of Worb Water is from this news story.

While it's difficult to say that this is the only incident EVER, it's certainly not "proof America is going to hell" or evidence of some sort of "trend".

Fear mongering from the Seattlest...

Damn liberal media...

Apparently that kid wasn't aware of the "Hugs NOT Drugs" slogan. Can't have it both ways, holmes. That's just selfish.

I hate to say it (I guess) but I didn't even know meth generated bong water.

nice picture troy - is that what someone looks like after drinking worb water?

Troy Morris

Except the good stuff.

This is why I dont leave the city.

There are no drugs in the city. None.

BigGreen,

Do you really think it was one kid? I doubt it. And if he was the "first," he certainly isn't the last now that the story has gotten out.

Honestly, I hope the trial goes well. People on meth are dangerous enough, I can't imagine having to deal with one on Worb.

Also, if the shit has a name, it's not unique to one individual. Sensationalism? Maybe, but it's not isolated either.

The Seattle Times reports kids in Lynnwood are drinking the bong water from meth pipes to get high.

SENSATIONALISM ALERT!!!

The Seattle Times reports that ONE KID in Lynnwood drank meth bong water.

No doubt, this is tragic that a young man's life has ended at the hands of what was presumably a friend, but let's not make this some "epidemic" or even a trend.

ONE KID did some thing stupid and died because an acquaintance overreacted to his odd behavior.
