Bong Discrimination.....What the Hell Do You Think A Hookah Pipe Is!?

Well, since we’re all taking about race and taking back Wall Street by #OccupyWallSt I want to bring light to some bullshit! Reports tell me that Sex Party president Fiona Patten, a former sex worker turned politician in Australia, is speaking out against a proposed ban on smoking pipes.

The Government plans to ban water pipes and bongs, but will allow the sale and display of hookah pipes. Pattern’s allegation of racial discrimination is tied into the fact that hookah pipes are sold primarily by an ethnic group in Australia for the presumed use of smoking tobacco.

Mental Health Minister Mary Wooldridge said in August that the changes would bring Victoria into line with other states.

The Coalition Government is determined to reduce the harm to Victorian families caused by cannabis use, and prohibiting the sale of bongs is an important part of achieving that,” Ms Wooldridge said.

Its a real drag that the Coalition Government is using false information to push their anti-cannabis campaign. I’m conflicted because I do feel like if you ban one type of pipe; then you should ban all types of pipes that could be used for the same purpose.

The implication that one is only used for tobacco and the other is only used for cannabis is false. Does the fact that this implication may be tied into a specific demographic make this law also racist?

I’ve never personally smoke a hookah pipe but it looks about the same to me. Maybe someone out there can help me out with this?

Are Hookah pipes used for smoking weed?

Should the ban include everyone or are they wrong to go after everyone except the hookah fans?

I've got a hookah that I only use for smoking tobacco. I've never done it, but I've heard that smoking bud out of a hookah wastes a lot, but if there were no bongs around you can bet your ass I'd smoke weed out of my hookah at least a few times

Hookahs are not for smoking weed, unless you have garbage bags full of the stuff lying around. I have a hookah, and packing the bowl halfway requires almost a half ounce of pot…..

Most of these are non-functional, only good for decorating.

Paraphernalia bans are ridiculous. Does anybody really believe that if someone can't go to the store and buy a bong, that will prevent them from smoking? "We can't get a bong, so we'll just have to throw this weed out and go get drunk." Seriously?

If anything, getting rid of bongs will INCREASE the harm of cannabis use as water pipes filter out many harmful components of the smoke. And where do you stop with the bans? You can smoke out of an apple. Or an aluminum can. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a piece of foil. Or just about anything. As long as there's marijuana, people will find a way to smoke it. Hey, there's an idea. Just ban marijuana and be done with it. That'll surely solve the problem.

yeah u can smoke weed in your hookah, you just gotta know how to do it. u pack a normal hookah bowl full of Ur favorite tobacco, then put a thin layer of grinded weed covering the tobacco and u smoke it like you would normally smoke a hookah.

Correct you don't waste weed if you know how to do it right. Jump's post is the correct way, If you pack it full of weed you will use a lot but what a long party!
I don't suggest using the hookah to smoke weed unless you are with a few people, because there is no stopping untill the bowl is done!

Idiots. Smoking weed out of a hookah willl ruin it. The only way you dmoke weed with it; Without ruining it is to mix marijuana in with the shisha, thats supposed to be smoked out of a hookah.

Hookahs can and are often used for smoking weed, and yes it will damage the hookah if its used for weed. But if its taken care of properly you could smoke weed out of it every day and it would never be harmed. I own probably 10 different hookahs and know I don’t smoke pot from them, but the shisha being made from tobacco and large amounts of honey and glycerin can be just a damaging to a hookah. They are very maintenance intensive smoking apparatuses. But they are also the healthiest from of smoking in this day and age. You could smoke shisha tobacco all day long and it is relatively harmless because all the tar is removed from the water, and the tobacco used in shisha is natura so it doesn’t have the same carcinogens. I hope this has helped. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me at derekadamson08@gmail.com
