      LOVE THIS!!! Drug's ruined my life and I only had a short stop of alcohol then got high. I was already caught up in a drug group and that was my entry to the rave scene. I remember the first time I heard cheech and chong, went over to my first lasting friends house across the way and he had some old records and we were in love! Jbornick....... huhh...... good thing we no step in it. Years later that friend overdosed me on LSD because he Thought that I had slept with his long time on and off again GF. Anyways, despite the years spent in solitude because of malice it has NOTHING to do with pot, perhaps not even LSD. It was a mix of pre-existing conditions and enough lsd to swallow. That friend was murdered a few month's ago and even though he stole 20 years of my life, I told my counselor month's before he got shot, that I still loved him like a brother. I'm not sure what my point is, my brother that I never got to sit down with and have a reconciliation, introduced me to something glorious, something that I still love today. Even though I can't touch pot as I'm schizophrenic....... I believe in it being legal for people of age.

    • @devilsoffspring5519
      @devilsoffspring5519 Před 4 lety +14

      It depends. The judge can say "It's a bong, so it was originally designed, made, sold, and possibly bought with the intention of smoking pot with it, and therefore it's drug related even if it's never been used (yet)."
      I find it a little weird myself because you could always buy rolling papers at corner stores and gas stations, commonly sold as "cigarette papers", even though most people that bought them used them for rolling joints instead of tobacco cigarettes. It's simply because the company printed "cigarette papers" on the pack, implying that they were intended for tobacco and not cannabis, so they weren't considered paraphernalia for illegal drug use.
      Tommy Chong could have simply marketed his bongs as Tobacco Water Pipes or something like that, that way he wouldn't have had to worry about it. Once you have it, it's up to you what you smoke in it--but the legal liability doesn't fall on the Chong Bong Company, just like for companies like Zig Zag etc. that sell rolling papers.

The weed laws targeted African american communities, how when the law is blind. Well because the people who enforce them are not blind and selectively enforce them or up the charges to threaten and try to get a guilty plea on lesser charges regardless of guilt. That's just the sad truth, in the land of the free they think its right to tell you how to act. They should see themselves as peace officers striving for peace but they see themselves as police officers trying to police peoples actions past the safety of the people and public.
