Joshua Long, 26, was charged with abuse of a corpse after a relative discovered a human brain stuffed into a WalMart bag.

Mr Long, who is already in jail awaiting trial for a string of burglary offences, allegedly admitted to his aunt that he and a friend used the embalming fluids from the brain, which they nicknamed “Freddy”, to enhance their marijuana smoking experience.

He and another man, who lived in the trailer where the brain was found, used the formaldehyde in the brain to create “wet” marijuana.

Mr Long’s friend is currently wanted for his role in the burglaries.

According to the US Drug Enforcement Agency, soaking marijuana in embalming fluids is an “emerging drug trend” among teenagers and adolescents.

The use of the extremely carcinogenic fluids have a hallucinogenic effect and can even function as an aphrodisiac for women.

But the DEA says most offenders source their fluid from morgues, funeral homes, or from companies over the Internet.

Mr Long’s use of a human brain is a bizarre and unique deviation from the norm - and ironically the drug is reputed to cause permanent brain damage.
