No “apparently” about it, Stuart. I was introduced to bible-page spliff-rolling more than 30 years ago. Not in prison, I hasten to add. The very thin pages from the bible made excellent spliffs, and we enjoyed many a “holy smoke”.

On the subject of ‘misuse’ of ‘holy books’…
our local prison has introduced a total ban on smoking – the only one in British Isles to do so and not unconnected to the influence of a teetotal, evangelical acting governor, I suspect. When the supply of legal fags stopped prisoners took to smoking dried teabags wrapped in pages of prison bibles. Probably the first recorded helpful use of those books in recent history.
BTW – just in case any smoker is unfortunate enough to get banged up, pages of the bibles issued to Catholics apparently make better ciggie papers.

If I had a gun and a Koran I’d pump it so full of holes right now along with a Bible, Torah, Communist Manifesto, and any other book of propaganda and lies that people use as an excuse to justify their might makes right philosophy of hatred and immorality.
