Australian Government Wants to Ban Bongs
December 18th, 2006 by Alex
A report from the former Australian Federal Police commissioner has spurred their government to look into banning the sale of all bongs.
This report strengthened the link between marijuana use and mental illness, especially when smoking at a young age. Not surprisingly, it was heavily against using marijuana in any form. But, this is what you should expect when the former head of a police agency releases data on illegal substances.
With the belief that easily available bongs & water pipes do nothing but proliferate the use of pot, the Parliamentary Secretary of Health wants them removed from the market. The biggest hurdle is many people use bongs to smoke “tobacco and other legal substances”.
This is a surprising turn of events, as the world generally thinks of Australia as being a more relaxed, mellow version of America. Let’s hope that this proposed ban goes nowhere and bongs are still easily available to purchase.
