7baz Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) due to the new laws put in place in VIC state all bongs and devices have been removed from retail outlets. it is not illegal to have a pipe , either it glass , wood etc but golly even the glass cone part is now illegal. all shops are now selling the glass pipes without the glass cones.. this is ridiculous. i sincerely cannot in any possible way comprehend being arrested for possession of a tiny 1 cm piece of glass... you would think law enforcement have much more important things to do..... so i ask politely.. is it OK if i ask a ACT member to buy me a glass cone as it is legal in that state ? i checked with grass city web site and they said yes.. we still happily ship our products to VIC. i was not too sure where in the world i should have posted this... so i put it in here lol Edited March 3, 2012 by 7baz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted March 4, 2012 What makes you think that Victorian retailers will adhere to this law ? In Sydney there are heaps of tobacconists that carry bongs, inncense etc that are either behind a curtain or in a cupboard on their side of the counter. Just don't ask such questions when there are other customers in the store, as they often play dumb. It helps if you look like a stoner too LOL (ie if you look like a clean-shaven, nice haircut, conservative clothed person then they may not help you) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted March 4, 2012 ok baz, wasn't aware that youre looking for a specialty cone. Admittedly the dodgy Sydney shops only sell standard stuff (think "Agung") For what its worth I ordered a bong from Off Ya Tree a year ago via their online store and it turned up without issue. also, this mob might have what youre after http://www.onlinesmoke.com.au/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bread Filter Posted March 5, 2012 bread filter your the best here is a pic of what she looks like.... They won't have anything that big in glass. Your best bet is to buy an SG14 glass cone from http://www.ozbongs.com.au/Cones-And-Parts/ They should fit your pipe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't have an Off Ya Tree store here though. Actually we do. It just opened up in civic where Overboard used to be (across from David Jones). I've been in there recently for a pearcing and seen those pipes, they'd probably sell you the cone piece. I've gotta go tomorrow to get my pearcing changed, guess ill have a look for you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted March 6, 2012 why not just order from OYT online? Failing that, if you get a confirmation from the darlinghurst shop, I guess I could grab you one next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
