I found this over at Wirecutter’s place:
Peter
A hidden cost of the War on (some) Drugs?
The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
If it was legalized and sold at market pricing, people would smoke it out of $10 water pipes from Wal-Mart. These expensive pipes only makes sense when pot is selling at $1000 an ounce.
Oh no, there'll always be a market for the hand-blown dragon bong. What does making sense have to do with how people throw away their money? Besides, it's pretty!
Hey, one has to keep up with the latest in trends and fashion.
Um, plenty of people use water bottles big and small for bongs. Using something like that is the stoner equivalent of people who buy $1,000 pens or audio cables.
People already smoke pot out of do-it-yourself pipes, bongs, EZ-Wider papers, whatever. This is just something cool to casually show your friends during hippy hour.
Nice piece of art! I'd set it on the mantle to be admired.
