Pakistani junkies getting high on scorpions
By Michael Christie

QUETTA, Pakistan (Reuters) - When they're in season, Ghulam Raza smokes 
scorpions.

He says he dries their stingers in the sun and grinds them, then lights the 
powdery venom and sucks the smoke deep into his lungs.

"Oh yes," he said when asked if the scorpions make him high. "When I smoke 
scorpion, then the heroin is like nothing to me."
