Deputies Concerned About New ‘Wasping’ Trend Among Meth Users

Authorities in Central Kentucky are concerned about a new trend with meth users.

It's called "wasping" and deputies in Franklin County say it's becoming more and more common.

They say addicts will mix and dilute their meth with wasp spray to give it a longer life span. Deputies say users also are heating the spray up and then huffing it.

Deputies believe the trend came from West Virginia and has since made its way across Kentucky.

So far, they are responding to medical emergencies where people are either beginning to overdose or facing hallucinations related to pesticides.

"This is wasp spray....do you know what it does? Kills wasps so it obviously has something in it that is pretty dangerous let alone the meth being dangerous but when you mix poison with another poison it's obviously going to have a bad outcome," Sgt. Lucas Deborde said.

Officials say the problem with this is that wasp spray can be bought just about anywhere, which contributes to the growing problem.

Great...now we will have to get the clerk to unlock the cabinet where they store the wasp spray. One more product that will become hard to buy and require ID.

This grim new and stupic reality earns multiple Darwin Awards -

The Darwin Awards are a tongue-in-cheek honor, originating in Usenet newsgroup discussions around 1985. They recognize individuals who have supposedly contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions.

Liberals In a couple of decades, if left alone to their life styles, will have destroyed themselves via their abortions, drug use age, homo sexual life styles, both DNA wise and soul wise due to their stupid and terminal life choices.

The Democratic Party is morphing into the Donner Party on a daily basis.

Here we have another: Darwin Award Winner!Wasping!

Yep! In short order, the problem will take care of itself. Funeral directors should see a real big uptick in business fairly soon

Sounds like a win-win situation to me!
