You're narrowing the subject down to a single homemade smoking device.
What about "bongs" made out of aluminium cans and the like?
There are lots of possibilities people will resort to when they can't buy something purpose-made.
That's the point I am trying to make, anyway.
It's ok, I don't expect you to agree; but if you don't acknowledge that people are likely to take bigger risks if they can't buy drug paraphernalia, then I'm not sure you're being sincere.
Wow your post smacks of arogance, Im pretty sure I didnt say anything about plastic bottles or garden hose. My point is that anyone with an imagination and common sense will know that inhaling burning plastic will not be good for your health, and with that knowlege in mind most people will make a bong with the crucial parts that are exposed to heat will consist of materials that arnt likely to break down under heat.
i was waiting for this to surface...not to mention the stems are aluminium, no?Adding to their danger also sees to be that most cone pieces seem to made of brass which is known to have health hazards when heated.
^ i guess the fuss is about the fact that the bans may be vague enough to include vapes in the legislation.
i haven't read the particular bills in question - each state is likely different - apart from my own state, which i believe may cover them (in law, if not in practice - yet). someone else might have a more enlightening view on this however; i'm not very legally minded.
if vaporisers are technically illegal, then i can see plenty of reasons to be disturbed by it. i guess i just meant it in a more general sense though. prohibition = more harm.
