Inmates at a prison in British Columbia are said to be combining the search for a higher power with the search for a high — by smoking joints rolled in Bible pages.
Prisoners can’t obtain rolling papers under Canadian jail rules, but they’re entitled to free copies of a religious text — and in recent times, officials have seized seven partially ripped Bibles and 11 loose scripture pages from inmates suspected of drug use.
A prisons officer says, “Normally you’re allowed to have a Bible. But once you start using it for some other purpose, then that’s when [we] seize it.”
