Need Pics.

I went to high school with a chinese guy named Bong. I thought that was hilarious.

Umm.. bongs are illegal now? I guess I should tell the owners of the five pipe shops in my town.

Wanted for questioning.

/it's for my tobacco, man!

Holly jolly christmas?

/need pics

And a beer?

Seconding the legal bongs bit. What's the deal?

Blown glass is illegal in the US?

Time to dispose of all your illegal glassware people.....

Do not think citizen - just comply.

Is there some sort of law about importing water pipes? I'm pretty sure the sale of water pipes is legal in the United States as I have purchased several from several different states...

Why did they put a paper with Department of Homeland Security there in the background? Are they afraid that somebody else would steal their credit for confiscating this?

The twelve bongs of Christmas will be as late as the pizza.

If people stopped using bongs and started using Sherlock Holmes pipes instead, would they get confiscated at the border and bongs be let thru?

this is great news, we need to cut down on all these Chinese imports. homeland has got the right idea. we need more USA HomeBlown glass. This is why china's got all our money or something heard like that.

Squirls, ducks, sheep, Hens, Turtle doves.... Awesome line up so far

I used to smoke weed out of several hundred dollar tobacco pipe.

Ask this guy.

Yay for Pittsburgh, again.

However, for those in the neighborhood, I hear those in need should stop at Trader Jack's.

You make an excellent point, sir. There are several talented artists right here in our own backyards. Literally.

GRagrgargagrr. The bongs are legal, and probably will be returned. But someone's gonna pay for trying to evade the import tax. And that's prolly a lot of tax, too.

NobleHam: Umm.. bongs are illegal now? I guess I should tell the owners of the five pipe shops in my town.

Bongs aren't illegal, lying about what you're importing is.

I hope this doesn't delay beaver bong!

bongs disguised as christmas ornaments

No. Christmas ornaments that look like bongs.

WHYYYYYYYYYYY? Someone think of the Doggiewoggies!!!

The states don't care, but the Feds go crazy over bongs, and they can pretty much do whatever the hell they want, can't they?

Wow, now i can say i lived thru the great Bong depression of 2009.

But what about the straight shooters disguised as flower vases!!

Bongs aren't illegal...

Only if you let them.

The government can stomp one man, imprison thousands, but if everybody tells them to bite the wax tadpole at the same time they're powerless to stop it.

LavenderWolf: Bongs aren't illegal...

DaPinto: Bongs aren't illegal, lying about what you're importing is.

Dang. I love glass ornaments - now how am I going to decorate my tree?

oh wait:






Guess I'll just have to get 300,000 of these now.


/ooooh - an interesting shape too
//'Gee, how purty on the tree... and they go 'round n 'round...'
///hotter than a yule log

Bongs are illegal, tobacco water pipes are legal

/wink wink
//nudge nudge

This not the actual bong seized but it is what a Christmas bong looks like

since bongs are "tobacco" smoking paraphinalia they have tax requirements that xmas ornaments wouldn't.

I don't know anyone that uses bongs for tobacco, but that is another story.

That's ok. The pot smokers will make do. There is nobody more ingenious than a stoner who needs a bong water pipe RIGHT NOW.

we need to stop importing anything and everything.

/JOBS

You get those filthy marijuana smokers USC&BP! Yeah!

Otherwise, could you imagine the chaos and evil that would go on if those bongs ever got sold? For example... umm.... well...

This is kind of a waste of government resources, isn't it?

What's wrong with using an upturned milk jug, a paper clip and a piece of blu-tac?

/old school

"I'llllll be stooooooned for Christmas..."

ThreeEdgedSword: That's ok. The pot smokers will make do. There is nobody more ingenious than a stoner who needs a bong water pipe RIGHT NOW.

They grow on trees.


/hot like my nosehairs when trying to light one of these.

Dammit, I really wanted a new one for Christmas.

Water pipes are not legal according to the Feds. Look up Operation Headhunter and Operation Pipe Dreams. This is the operation that sent Tommy Chong to jail. Of course, he got off light. When they searched his studio, they found a pound of marijuana. The federal government considers water pipes to be paraphernalia. Now, depending on your state, water pipes may be legal there. These will not be returned. I run a smoke shop and I've known distributors that have imported. From time to time shipments get seized. It's the cost of doing business.

We do have some great local blowers. The appeal of imported class is that it's usually been of decent quality at a fourth of the price.

TsuDohNim: The appeal of imported class is that it's usually been of decent quality at a fourth of the price.

This kind of class can't be imported.

Dreyelle: TsuDohNim: The appeal of imported class is that it's usually been of decent quality at a fourth of the price.

Doh! I meant glass.

Thank god the dept of homeland security picked those up. I know I would feel safer.

Anyone smoke out of a gear bong? Pretty nice pieces, filtered through water three times. Your tobacco of course, none of that devil weed, that stuff is illegal.

DaPinto: NobleHam: Umm.. bongs are illegal now? I guess I should tell the owners of the five pipe shops in my town.

Bongs aren't illegal, lying about what you're importing is.

So do you think if a shipment of soldering irons was seized because the manifest said "Phillips Screwdrivers" this would be newsworthy? It's a glorification of a dinky little bust that no one cares about.

TsuDohNim: Dreyelle: TsuDohNim: The appeal of imported class is that it's usually been of decent quality at a fourth of the price.

I think it was funnier the first time...ha.

I'm all for taxation of water pipes, which I think is what was really going on (tax evasion)

/closest thing to a pot thread today :)

Anyone out there vaporize? Hear it's quite awesome, and much better than water pipes.
