Many of the online headshops (a store that sells pipes, bongs, etc.) based in the US have been closed. Just another example of how annoying the US government can be. I understand weed is illegal but buying a pipe shouldn't be, the pipe itself isn't the drug. What makes me mad is that this won't stop people from smoking weed, it'll only make it a little harder to get pipes (ex. they have to buy from a person who makes them). This really doesn't acomplish anything. I think the DEA has better things to be doing than closing down headshops. The headshops aren't hurting anyone...I know weed can mess up your life if you let it but the DEA closing down headshops will not make sure that doesn't happen.

what the fuck is the point of buying a pipe if ur not gonna smoke reefer? would there be a reason to buy a bong or a pipe other than to smoke shit with it? the DEA obviously is trying to discourage the use of weed by closing down the headshots which sell the stuff needed to smoke it...instead of discouraging drug use what should thet DEA be doing instead?

Actually, the U.S does technically have the right to close the place, and bongs can be considered illegal, because in the U.S drug paraphinelia(sp?) is almost as bad as actually having the drug, its a misdemeanor i think.
