I got the feeling that Marroquin was not kidding about his son’s mental instability. After learning about his son’s situation he started reaching out to all the men and women that make up the St. James Missionary Baptist Church. When I started interviewing them, my intent was to find out more information about an unusual practice in Cuba known as “vitat de cebolla.” This practice is when a man uses a pipe to smoke marijuana into his mouth into a glass jar or a coffee cup.
