Contraban (legal or not?)

03-07-2001, 02:24 AM

If anyone in my town wants a piipe or bong, they come to me. I wanted to know if selling contraban is legal or not. They sell pipes in some stores. I got busted once but I told the cops I sell them for tobacco and only to people over 18 (complete lie). Anybody know?

So, I'd say that if you're selling them as 'for tobacco', you should be keeping just out of reach of the drug paraphernalia laws.

As long as your 18/over and your selling the pipes to 18 or over people and it was never used for an illegal substance you should be fine. Just say its for tobacco products or anything else legal
