Hey JR,
Thats not the issue with me... If you do stuff illegal, especially out in the open, you are gonna get busted...
But to make taking out 11 web sites that sold paraphenalia seems like it should be a real low priority at the federal level...
Besides, many of the paraphenelia laws on the books are bullshit to begin with...
When I was living in North Carolina, in like 80 or 81, the paraphenelia law they passed made sandwich baggies illegal.... The current laws at all levels sometimes reflect that stupidity... If I buy a postage scale for weghing postage, I'm legal, if I buy it for weighing an illegal substance, I'm illegal.....
The apparatus should either be legal or illegal...
Of course, I don't know that a scale accurate to one one thousandth of a gram is needed for postage either....
The point is that none of the material should be illegal to begin with....
If someone uses it for an illegal purpose, then bust them for the crime they did... They use a bong for smoking dope, bust em for smoking dope.... Not because they own a pipe....
imho of course
