Law & Politics

Florida Rep. Darryl Rouson introduced HB 49, which would outlaw bongs and pipes to be used with illegal drugs. The bill passed the House and the Senate, and now moves to the governor. Luckily, though, since all pipes can be sold as ‘for tobacco use only,’ this measure will do little to change the availability of our beloved smoking devices. Even after the passage of Amendment 64 here in CO, most pipe shops still refer to bongs as ‘tobacco water-pipes.’
