A Pennsylvania man reportedly stole a human brain to get a better high.

Joshua Long is accused of stealing the brain, draining it of its formaldehyde, soaking marijuana in that embalming fluid and then smoking the pot.

Long's aunt came across the brain in a Walmart bag while she was cleaning out a trailer, according to court documents. She called Long, who was already in prison at the time on multiple burglary charges, and he reportedly confessed to having the brain and using the fluid to get high.

He even nicknamed the brain "Freddy."

The coroner determined it is a real human brain, saying it was likely a teaching specimen.

Long was charged with abusing a corpse.
