Rush Limbaugh has no idea on what side to land on here.

Ho didn't leave the store because there were two dogs in the store making him feel threatened? I'd get out if I were being asked to leave and was feeling threatened

Dang, I need to start a speed metal band now so I can call it "Death Utensils."

When bongs are outlawed, only outlaws will have bongs.

They can have my bong when the pry it from my cold, dead....

oooooh, look! Pie!

what the hell does the naacp have to do with bongs?

black people- the new white people.

For all the sun and fun, florida is really, really stupid sometimes. And Hell i live in "Jupiter, Florida".

I love how they call them death pipes and "Smoking drugs", come on, tobacco use only right guys?
 
2005-02-19 03:09:59 PM
Better ban these too...(used in personal experance to build bongs and pipes)

any plumbing fixtures.

Apples, carrots, wood.

1L - 3L pop bottles, tape and empty bag.

Plus many more

NAACP hasn't caught onto the fact that black people smoke blunts yet huh? How about going after White Owl for making those nasty ass vanilla flavored blunt wraps.

Time for my 420 an hour early.
 
2005-02-19 03:12:59 PM
Why don't they attempt to outlaw the War on Drugs instead? I guess that would make too much sense.
 
2005-02-19 03:13:02 PM
Like people won't find something else to smoke their drugs through. Just look around your average hardware store or WalMart.

/not into dumb, extraneous laws
 
2005-02-19 03:13:03 PM
Ah, more "War on Drugs" goodness.

Are there still folks who seriously think that the War on Drugs is actually working?

Is somebody flying a bong from the statehouse dome down there? I hadn't heard that.
 
2005-02-19 03:14:14 PM
In my younger,more idealistic days, I spent three months in between my junior and senior year of college working in a program to rehab "urban" crack addicts. Trust me,if no crackpipes were available,these people would gouge out the eyes of an 80 year old woman and pack steel wool in the sockets to blaze a rock if it took it. Sounds like the NAACP should focus on the glorification of CRACK DEALERS in movies and music instead of wasting their time with the actual pipes. Flame all you want,but I live in Atlanta where a lot of these rappers live and unless you live in Harlem or Watts then STFU about this subject.

Don't forget the Reynold's Wrap.

but that's what i smoke my fine, legal tobacco products out of!
 
2005-02-19 03:16:05 PM
If anyone had bothered to RTFA you would notice that they are talking mostly about "glass tubes constaining silk roses" which would probably indicate a crack-pipe.

Gatorade bottles are better; stronger plastic.


When we outlaw plumbing fixtures, only outlaws will have toilets.

What the NAACP needs is help from the world's foremost authority on crack smoking monkeys..

You ever notice how white people smoke weed like THIS, while black people smoke weed like THIS?

my best bong was a gallon gatorade bottle with a bowl in the cap and a four foot flexible rubber hose coming out the side. you could sit back, relax, and take a pull through a half gallon of ice-water. ooooh.
 
2005-02-19 03:23:38 PM
Joe, just too burned to figure something out and remeber all that I've done.

Yeah, my pipes got tossed by a officer last night when going through a ride program. Gonna have to improvise for a bit or fix the Vapo(rizor).

Any suggestions for intersting homemade bongs can be forwarded to my e-mail.

'NAACP chief asks for bill to stop sales of 'death utensils'

At least be honest about the risks, dickheads.

Except I guess "possible link to mental illness and lung cancer utensils" doesn't quite roll off the tongue so easily.

I've never been in a headshop that sold bongs. They always ask me to leave when I ask to buy a bong.
 
2005-02-19 03:32:27 PM
Well usually you can tell an NAACP rep is lying because his lips move...but this one takes the cake. Hey buddy, instead of robbing a man who is selling a legal device...you get the law changed!

I mean, that's what they told me when I complained about all the 'god' crap showing up on gov't buildings.
 
2005-02-19 03:34:39 PM
Well, I for one hope he starves.
 
2005-02-19 03:35:13 PM
they should also ban aquariums,television and video games.
 
2005-02-19 03:36:18 PM
I love how this moran makes a clear distinction between "death utensils" and "tobacco accessories". Is this the Day of the Stupids or something, for crying out loud???

/farking retards
 
2005-02-19 03:41:24 PM

You can have my bong when you pry it from my cold dead hands....
 
2005-02-19 03:42:40 PM
Hah! They can't ban gravity bongs!
 
2005-02-19 03:43:19 PM
did someone say outlaw?

2005-02-19 03:44:10 PM
some people just don't get it...it's called plausible deniability. the store owners don't actually know what the pipes/bongs are being used for. The "official" intended use is tobacco and as far as the store owners/employees know that's what it's being used for. It's not like some stoner is going into the store, buying a bong and sparking a nugget right in the store. (they have back rooms for that)

if the pres can "plausibly deny" the existence of area-51 then headshop owners can do the same with their products.

2005-02-19 03:49:27 PM
Wait a minute, what kind of firearms can an average 21 year-old legally buy in Florida. I'd say terming a Remingtin 12 gauge as a "death utensil" would be a tad more accurate.

Yes, I see your point. Media glorification of drug dealers has actually been the root cause behind peoples' desire to get high! Thanks for clearing that up.

This also explains that dratted opium war and the Boxer rebellion. Damn rappers!

I read the article and I nothing about the NAACP, other than the person in the article happens to be the local NAACP group president.
If you remove any mention of him being a local NAACP offical, it would just be someone trying to get places to not sell things that can be used for both legal and illegal uses, and that he is on some charges because he stole the stuff so they wouldn't be able to sell it.
I consider the NAACP stuff irrelevent and adds very little to the article, and the headline submitted is misleading.

Purple Haze's owner, Leo Calzadilla, and other employees repeatedly asked Rouson to leave the store at 1427 34th St. S, Calzadilla told police. Rouson said he didn't leave because he was frightened by pit bullterriers in the store.

So, the guy's in the store, and he's afraid of the dogs, who are also in the store, and therefore he didn't leave.

What a moran.
 
2005-02-19 03:53:36 PM
Headline makes little sense, looks like submitter attempting to look "hep" with the drug lingo. For shame.

Anybody ever drink a hit? Get a clear glass wet and put it in the freezer until it frosts over. Take a lit joint and stick the non-lit side into a straw. Put the straw/lit joint into the botton of the glass and blow slowly and circularly while rising until the cup is full. The smoke will stay there for quite a while. You then just drink it as usual except you breath it down instead of drinking (which is kind of tricky if you're already stoned). It's mostly just a cool visual trick but it's also about as big as a gravity hit.

hes just mad he cant do ne more drugs, so he doesnt want ne 1 else gettin high. the naacp are douch3bags
 
2005-02-19 04:13:49 PM
Convict him of trespassing. Then let the stupid bastard starve himself to death. The world will be short one jerk who can't seem to mind his own business, but I think we'll manage.

He said that nobody gives their girlfriend one of these for Valentine's Day... I think my girlfriend would love one for Valentine's.
 
2005-02-19 04:19:33 PM
Wait a minute... (puff-puff, ahem!) shiat! This stuff is illegal???
 
2005-02-19 04:20:39 PM
What time is it?
And yeah.. I got my girlfriend (now fiancee) a piece for valentine's day 3 years ago -- we still use it.

"The idea is to keep the public focused. The issue is not Darryl Rouson and a trespass charge. The issue is a legal lie we allow to exist in our society. Police and state attorneys have felt helpless to change it."
Yeah, those DAs and cops just are powerless. They can't use drug-sniffing dogs at any time for no reason at all, they can't seize property because of a drug bust, they can't obtain warrants that would let them give delayed notification... why, you can smoke crack right in front of the courthouse and all they can do is wring their hands and grit their teeth!

I recommend removing the Constitution. Monarchial Communist Muslim Terrorist shiate if I ever saw it. Everyone knows it only protects criminals, anyway. Let lead the way to a better tomorrow, today!

"But if convicted I will neither pay a fine nor costs and will go to jail under a hunger strike until the law changes and the deception is set aside," he said.

How exactly do a person's priorities get so thoroughly messed up?

"Mr Rouson, good for you for quitting drugs but...
