    WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Attorney General John Ashcroft and U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan of the Western District of Pennsylvania today announced the indictment of 27 individuals on charges of trafficking in illegal drug paraphernalia. The charges, contained in 17 separate indictments, are the culmination of a nationwide investigation code-named "Operation Pipe Dreams," and include 10 indictments against national distributors of drug paraphernalia and seven indictments involving businesses located in Western Pennsylvania.

    The Republicans are so anti-tax, you think they'd be watching what their tax dollars are being spent on more closely. I guess people with golf-ball sized brains have trouble processing what is a waste of money and what isn't.

    I was caught with 9 grams of weed and a hash pipe.

    When I was going I asked if I could keep the pipe, and they gave it too me. There are so many reason to be happy not to live in that country. I can smile.

    Not everyone who smokes marijuana is a loser. I personally don't do it [although I have in the past], because I decided I'm going to need all my brain cells in the future. Some of the great art [Literature, music, paintings, etc.] in the world has been created when those responsible for their creation were "under the influence" of whatever. Some people just do it to relax just the same as someone who comes home from work has a beer, a glass of wine, or smokes a few cigarettes. It's not any worse than any of those. Sure some drugs a really bad and can really screw up a person, but perhaps instead of jailing them for using those drugs, we should find out why they have to resort to that kind of thing. Obviously their is a cause, and I believe the government could handle it in alternative ways.

    I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic, if not any decently run messageboard ought to get rid of people like you. Simply put: closed minded puritan fuckheads who are obsessed with what other people do with their own bodies.

    Dissing the puritans is actually quite closed minded because almost all the information we know about them is imperialist propoganda.

    What the fuck are you talking about? Use neo-puritan if you will, you know what I meant and it has nothing to do with any historical religious movements, it is a description of a certain "father knows best" mentality...

    Yes, they raided his pipe factory. And then his house, nothing was found in his house though. And he was put out on bail...

    I cant find a hardcopy report on this, cause i heard it on the radio.

    (obviously he found it)

    What I don't get is why they assume that every pipe and bong is going to be used for illegal purposes and not just tobacco.
    Do you think they're not going to be used for illegal purposes? I'm sure 95% of them will (more even). But I don't think that's what you were getting at (?).

    I don't see how they have a legal right to confiscate any such instrument. Even if it is used and the inside is caked with resin, surely they can only take the resin? Life shouldn't be like this.

    I fully agree with you Che, actualy I quit smoking marijuana when I started failing in my university exams.

    And I am also positively sure the gov can definitely find other ways to manage it.

    I said it because on the site with Chong's arrest on it, the people for chong glass said the stuff was used for tobacco which of course is just said to cover their ass. But the point is first, they should not be taking it away and the second is that they are taking it away on the assumption that they would use it for weed.
