If _I_ had a lil spatula like that I’d possibly use it to [hot-knife butane honey oil](http://www.breedbay.co.uk/gallery/data/500/t_Phifep.jpg). [More info here.](http://skunkpharmresearch.com/vaporizing-oil/) ---

Mixing weed? WTF? I have never heard of any stoners who needed a tool to combine multiple strains. A fancy coke spoon is possible but my guess would be a dabbing tool - that is, a small metal tool for transferring ‘wax’ (aka ‘dab’ or ‘shatter’ or lots of other names) to either a nail or a vaporiser.

Why did you assume it purpose was “drug” (nudge-nudge) related? Envelope opener? Measuring food additive for a cat. ---

> [@usedtobe](#): > > Why did you assume it purpose was “drug” (nudge-nudge) related? Read the OP. There were beer and liquor bottles and the place was dirty. Cries out drugs. (We have a cleaning person and have a pretty tidy place. My paraphernalia is in a locked file cabinet.:D) ---

It could be a dab tool, but my money is still on coke spoon. Dab tools are usually discolored from being exposed to heat or flames, and I suspect the OP would have noticed that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-sort-of-drug-paraphenalia-did-i-see/690636.md?page=1)
