Rick Scott Signs Bong Ban

Sal wrote:They've got nothing better to do?

Seriously??

Stores selling certain hardware typically used for smoking marijuana have until July 1 to unload those items, reports the News Service of Florida.

Among about a dozen bills signed Wednesday by Gov. Rick Scott was the “bong ban” bill (HB 49), which prohibits the sale of metal, wooden, acrylic, glass, stone, plastic, or ceramic smoking pipes, chillums or bongs. The bill allowed pipes to continue to be sold that are primarily made of briar, meerschaum, clay or corn cob, which are typically used to smoke tobacco.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Darryl Rouson has said the bill wouldn’t eradicate pot smoking, but “we’re going to stop making it convenient.”

Because there's nothing quite as convenient as a giant water bong.

The original bill also included a surtax on the sale of paraphernalia, a provision that went up in smoke in the no-tax Legislature.

People in Florida will still continue to spend money on these accessories, only after July 1st that money will go to an online supplier rather than a Florida business. Brilliant!

I guess it depends on how you define "reputable". Most tattoo shops or smoke shops sell many of the products that are being banned. I even see them at gas stations from time to time.

Poor gas station owners....first they ban spice now they are banning the bongs to use with spice.

Why would it matter to drug users? They will just buy this stuff online. It matters to the Florida businesses that sell the stuff.

But if you have to order it, then you have to have a credit card and you have to wait for it to come in the mail or by UPS.

If you're living at home with mommy, a bong is probably not your best bet.

They're smelly and hard to conceal.

I'm getting an education on bongs. Thanks.
Really, I had in mind mostly younger people buying them. And hiding them under their bed or whatever.
For the old hippies, they'll just have to order online now.
