Authorities: 3 severely burned while manipulating pot
Three men were airlifted from Moses Lake to Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center with severe burns after igniting a flash fire in a small garden shed Monday night.
They were reportedly using butane in an attempt to extract the psychoactive resin from the marijuana, according to a press release from the Grant County Sheriff’s Office and the Grant County Emergency Management Department.
The injured men were identified as Jeffrey A. Beavin, 30, Ray A. Jones, 28, and Sean M. Jensen, 28, all of Moses Lake.
Butane accumulated in the shed and was ignited about 9 p.m. when one of the men went to light a cigarette in the shed adjacent to 4421 Airway Drive NE.
The men were taken to Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake and then transferred to Harborview’s burn center.
The sheriff’s office is continuing an investigation.

No offspring I hope…..

Hmmm, do you think Harborview will give them some medical marijuana? I mean, even if they don’t need it, it’s cheaper than them having another shed party…

Lucky, for them apparently, these three retardos ran out of the gas they had been sniffing . . .
Well, at least they only hurt themselves, unlike drunks who murder entire families with their favorite weapon of choice - their car!
We should sterilize all alcoholics and retards like this though!
empyrius on May 25 at 5:22 p.m.
And is there a reason why alcohol is called “booze”?
Whether they are alcoholics, stoners, meth-heads, or whatever, these three dudes are just simpletons.

Yep, we the people pay for their mistakes. And I wonder, did they learn their lesson?

Everybody seems to be having fun. Not one of the 15 comments say something like - “my thoughts are with those young men and there families…” ?
Where is the sympathy for fellow humans? Or is it all reserved for young men who crash their bikes while not wearing helmets?

Obviously, there are a lot of people here that do not know anything about cannabis (Marijuana). Go to leap.cc, click community—forums—War on Drugs—War on Cannabis. There are over 250 posts (excerpts from The Emperor Wears No Clothes, the History of Hemp by Jack Herer) with over 8,500 views. These guys did not follow the safety standards from Run From the Cure, The Rick Simpson Story. Danged if there ain’t more to cannabis than just smoking it!! Cannabis was in the service of man for over 10,000 years, it only took Harry Anslinger 95 minutes to make it illegal in 1937. Educate yourself, before condemning the plant that we depended on for food, fuel, fiber, medicine for thousands of years!

monkeyman: Empathy is different from sympathy, right? I can relate to the individuals as humans who didn’t exercise good judgement of potential consequences but I don’t feel sorry for them getting injured after engaging in obviously negligent behavior. Natural consequences are the best educators.
