Ex-crackhead Rep. Darryl Rouson, who sponsored the bill that eventually became the “bong ban” law on Monday, is unhappy about how watered down it turned out to be, when all was said and done.
Rouson believes that The Pot is a gateway drug to things like The Crack. Therefore, he worked diligently for years on a bill he hoped would ban all bongs, glass bowls, roach clips, and other things that can be used as a marijuana smoking device. But the final bill basically says that head shops can sell the devices, as long as they’re for tobacco only, thus creating the raddest loophole ever, man. The Broward-Palm Beach New Times has the full story.

You shouldn’t be buying shitty bongs like this anyway.

Starting July 1, Florida residents won’t be able to buy bongs. Instead, you’ll have to purchase water pipes for tobacco use only (nudge-nudge, wink-wink).
Gov. Rick Scott signed the ban into law June 5, though it’s significantly less restrictive than originally proposed by former crack-addict Rep. Darryl Rouson of St. Petersburg.

A day after a bill that would ban the sale of bongs and certain pipes in Florida overwhelming passed the Florida House, its sister bill found similarly broad support in the Senate. The bill passed the legislative body 31-2 Friday, and will now head to Gov. Rick Scott.
Though, the bill has been considerably watered down since its inception and would have virtually no effect. Miami New Times has the rest.

Bad news, Florida ganja smokers, glassblowers and headshop owners. The Florida state House voted 112-3 on a bill that bans the sale bongs and pipes that could be used to smoke marijuana.
Ex-crackhead Rep. Darryl Rouson believes that The Pot is a gateway drug to things like The Crack. Therefore, he sponsored the bill to ban all bongs, glass bowls, roach clips, and other things that can be used as a marijuana smoking device, such as a two-liter bottle and duct tape (although, how these things can be policed is anyone’s guess). Miami New Times has the rest of the story on this ridiculously stupid law.

Are these bongs “destructive utensils” that “destroy communities”? The Florida Senate thinks so.

​The Florida Senate has unanimously passed a bill that would ban the sale of glass smoking pipes at most stores that currently carry them.

Senate Bill 366 requires 75 percent of a business’s gross sales to come from tobacco products before they are allowed to sell bongs, water pipes and “air-driven pipes,” reports WJHG.
It passed the Senate unanimously, 36-0, on Wednesday.
Supporters of the legislation claim the pipes can be used to smoke illegal drugs like marijuana and cocaine.
The proposal could hurt some businesses, like Condom Knowledge in Panama City Beach.

Darryl Rouson is a former crack addict and current Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives. He has sponsored a bill to ban all bongs, glass bowls, roach clips and other marijuana paraphernalia, since he believes weed is the gateway to crack. “If we can make people drive to Georgia and Alabama and South Carolina to get fireworks, they can drive to get these utensils of death,” he says. Those dismissing the chances of Rouson’s bill should know he was recently elected leader of the Florida House Democrats. Broward Palm-Beach New Times has the story.

​OMG, is the bong OK?!

Two masked intruders broke into a Colorado man’s home early Sunday, banged him over the head with a bong, and stole his medical marijuana, cash, and a backpack, according to police.

The 24-year-old assault victim suffered head injuries and was treated at Colorado Plains Medical Center, police Lt. Jared Crone told Dan Barker at The Fort Morgan Times.
The masked assailants came into the Fort Morgan home of Aaron Simons, 24, from the back of the house, and one of them struck Simons in the head with a glass bong before gathering the pot, the cash and the backpack and making a quick exit around 1:57 a.m. on Sunday.
The estimated value of the stolen goods is $1,865, according to police.
This is the first time a marijuana robbery has ever occurred in Fort Morgan, Colorado, according to Fort Morgan Police Department records.

No other musical genre (aside from reggae) has a stronger connection to the cannabis lifestyle than heavy metal, hence the term ‘stoner metal.’ But of course, this term describes a subgenre that can encompass different types of metal music and mean different things to different folks; whether you’re into that slow burning, hazy sound or a faster heavier more intense variety, there are as many ‘ stoner’ metal bands as there are strains of marijuana.

Last Friday, Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin was suspended by the NFL for a violation of their substance abuse policy, the sixth member of the squad to receive such punishment since 2010.
Since the NFL can’t disclose why, Irvin did as teammate Richard Sherman did before him: hint that the violation was for taking Adderall without disclosing it. While heavily prescribed, Adderall isn’t without risks, but it certainly can have it’s performance-enhancing advantages — same as any number of drugs that areallowed in sports. If the league is going are going to be hypocrites, then why not allow one of the best natural performance enhancers out there: marijuana?
