Thats kinda the way it was explained to me by a police officer in high school (6 years ago, so very possibly could ave changed). He said that you could have a bong and a pipe and things, but they are illegal once they've been used with a dangerous drug ( I think it adds an extra charge if you are busted, can't remember what it was), but he also said that it is cause to be searched and stuff if you admit to an officer that the pipe of bong is going to be used for the use of a dangerous drug. The example he gave was of those little pipes you could get on key chains. Saying that if an officer saw you with one, and asked what it was for, he couldn't do anything if you said it was for smoking tobacco, or just cause you like it as a key chain, but if you said "It's for smoking weed man" (thats the way he delivered it), then they will probably take a closer look at you. sobriquet : re shops that sell bongs... have you tried of ya tree in the city? I haven't been there for quite a while, but they used to have a wide range. Does HHH sell bongs and stuff? I haven't been to the one at west end... and I didn't realise there was one in the valley until I walked past it at the markets a month or so ago. -bumpy
