Federal agents raided Chong's California business in February. They said they found financial records linking Chong to the bong sales.

riggerrob 643 #11 May 15, 2003 And this happened the same week Canada was considering de-criminalizing posession of small amounts of marijuana? Too bad the Yanks won't let us write laws for our own citizens. I guess Canada will just end up with another meaningless law on the books that everyone (cops, courts and crooks) ignores. I have not smoked in the last decade. I just do not see the point to wasting trees to write laws that have no meaning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobsled92 0 #16 May 16, 2003 This is pitiful crap. 450 years of Family, people paid for "THe Law of The Lands",I was conceived and born to be an "Enforcer of Law" yet, I still can not see how ANY pipe without resin or evidence of banned substances in them,--can be an illegal item in possession, sale or held with intent to sell. It is abuse of the laws that were written on this matter. I have gotten used to not being "the one that doesn't wear the Badge" but, recent politics that have our good men wasting their careers doing Politicians bidding for "re-elections", has made it a lot easier for me to not feel that sorrowful_______________________________ If I could be a Super Hero, I chose to be: "GRANT-A-CLAUS". and work 365 days a Year. http://www.hangout.no/speednews/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #17 May 16, 2003 Y'know, pipe fittings available at any hardware store, can be quickly and easily made into about any combination and used to smoke anything- When I was a kid we called 'em "Plumbers' pipes" -- You make a good point - Unless there is evidence it has been used, it's nothing but an object- Nothin but a brass 90 deg. street elbow-- From what I understand, 1/4" drive deepwell sockets make for popular paraphernalia- We better shut down Sears, and Snap-on, etc--- Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
