I don't know how many of you have seen these but I see them in gas stations all over southern California.

The product is a little tiny flower and it comes in a glass tube. On the box it says "Show you love her". It's a little flower about 3 inchese tall and I think it's made of fabric. It comes in a glass tube that is open on one end and the other is covered with a piece of cardboard.

Last night when I was waiting in line to get gas, a man who was clearly strung out on speed or crack came in and asked for one of these flowers. I thought it was strange that he wanted one of these little flowers and then I realized that it came in a glass tube which can easily be converted into a crack pipe.

I wonder if the makers of that product realize what their product is used for. It wouldn't surprise me if the makers of the product figured out that the best way to market drug parephenalia is to disguise it as a harmless token of love.

it's not a crackpipe until tou make it one...

Exactly what I was thinking while reading your post.

Ditto!

I'd just use it as a pot pipe

Oh yeah Supa...how do we know that this isn't propaganda? Huh? Where's the link to prove it? I want proof dammit!

everywhere i go, you CAN walk into a store and ask for a 'CRACKPIPE' and get one sold to you. THOSE ARE THE STORES
that should lose their liscenses.

This reminds me of the McDonald's coffee stirrer design that was altered after it became linked to being the perfect measuring spoon for cocaine.

Yesterday, I saw a syringe in the parking lot of a grocery store.. Now that is plain inconsiderate.. I kicked that syringe, till I buried it...

Yup, me too!! I live in L.A., Cali myself, and am quite used to not even getting far enough to get inside the store before seeing crack pipes and such on the floor, so I wouldn't doubt that'd be the case (product disguises).

I woule be willing to bet that SoulPower would say this is because of the American Foriegn Policies...

Yeah... there's a place in my neighborhood that unabashedly sells just about any sort of drug-related thing you could imagine. It stuns me!

Say it with crack.

damn...


It's a tough road for those still stuck in the fucked up drug world... if the company that produces this product knows it's being used for illegal drugs, than they should immediately redesign the product.

So now the question is, have you written to them? How can we correct this?

Your move.

Hehheh they sold those at our local Pat Catans too. The do look a helluva lot like pipes!. I also know people who use those flame shaped light bulbs to smoke meth. They just crack the tip off.

I remember that but this is different, it's actually a pipe. Why would anyone want to buy a little flower in a little glass stick?

I can't picture it... does it look like a miniature vase with a flower in it?

What's funnier is watching them buy those pipes and then buying a box of Brillo pads.

There is this store in the bay area "Redwood City" that sells all kinds of shit like that, pipes, bongs, etc. you name it they got it.

Cool, get a couple and send them to me. Ain't nothing like gettin high from a new crackpipe.

It's a glass tube that's about 3 inches long by 1/8" with a little shitty fabric flower (with a wire stem).

Thank you. This might sound silly, but it actually sounds like a cute item - all crack talk aside.
