So, I just moved to the gold coast, and went to the local off ya tree to buy a cone peice. I was puzzled when all I saw were lot's of pipes, but no bongs, vaporizors, or cone peices.

I asked the fellow behind the counter whether they had any cone peices, and he told me "not without a 60 000 fine".

It turns out that for the past 6 months such items have been removed from the shelves. Instead I had to buy a pipe with a removable coney. Alas, the cone peice was oddly shaped on the outside, so blutac is neccasary for the making of airtightedness.

Does anyone else live somewhere where the sale of cone peices is prohibited? It seems odd to me, it's not like it's going to stop people from smoking.

Another reason why NSW > QLD :D

I was disapointed in walking up those stairs to see the back wall, normally full of bongs, had nothing on it.
Just head down to Byron or around there and get it all.
Still bullshit though

That's pretty stupid, hope they don't try and pull the same shit down here in Melb

Talk with the cunt a bit more.

I fucking know you can get more, i fucking know the cunt should be able to supply more than just that...

Man, it's not like they won't have smoke with ya. :)

Actually it's the same for NSW...well for bongs anyhow.

Canberra is the only state you can buy waterpipes in and porn dont forget porn

That's fucking ridiculous, how dare they tell you how to smoke your tobacco. It's not like a cone shaped bowl is manufactured for smoking marijuana.

Every second shop in Melbourne Central sells bongs and porn.

...Also Canberra is a Territory not a State ;)

Actually it's the same for NSW...well for bongs anyhow.

It is? I can go down to my barber shop and pick up a bong if I want.

I just moved from western australia, you can buy water pipes there. I'm pretty sure you can buy porn in every state as well. Canberra does have a decent monopoly on fire works though.
