Cremains as a Cocaine Additive

Richards_keithPeople never stop coming up with unusual ways to use their loved ones cremains.  Recently on this blog, I discussed the use of cremains as a gasoline additive.

After the death of the father of Keith Richards, the Rolling Stones legendary guitar player, Keith mixed his dad’s cremains with cocaine.

According to AP, Keith Richards Admits, ‘I Snorted My Father’, April 4, 2007,

“He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared,” [Richards] said. “… It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”
