Bongs May Be Banned As New Strain Of Marijuana Enters The Country

Adelaide, Australia (AHN) - As reports have surfaced that potent marijuana could be introduced into Australia, state lawmakers have talked about banning drug paraphernalia.

At a ministerial council on drugs strategy meeting in Adelaide, officials discussed the merits of banning instruments such as bongs and pipes that are used to smoke illegal cannabis.

The concept of banning the paraphernalia comes as a new strand of marijuana could be landing on Australian soil which is stronger, supposed more addictive and easier to grow.

If bongs are banned nationally, it will mean the end of the stores that dedicate their sales to the currently legal products.

A source said, "It's quite significant because there has been quite a proliferation of these shops around Australia that sell equipment that's being used for the inhalation of cannabis."

Cannabis is currently the most used illegal drug in Australia.


BWAHAHAHAHA...... Oh man, this article is too funny on too many levels. Anyone know where I can get me a cut of this "strand?"

I wonder if it is related to that invincible Mexican plant from a couple months back. Or maybe to that "super-potent" "b.c. marijuana" that is "invading" America these days.

Holy shit. Maybe it's an F1 of the two! Christ, maybe I should be posting this in the "Strains and Hybrids" forum.

"Strand" is a term used all over. YOur just more used to "strain". The aussies are worried about gangs moving in to grow like in B.C. . They really need someone over there to explain things to them. Wheres Wally Duck? Isnt he Aussie?

Hola Gringo!
With all due respect, strand is a term that is used INCORRECTLY all over. I respect the fact that reporters have no problems letting all kinds of incorrectness fly, however.

I agree, they prolly are worried about an influx of criminal elements. Trying to ban bongs makes MUCH more sense than approaching this as an immigration issue.

I wonder if it's election time down under. Because they have lots of people telling them/showing them how it is, a bunch in a little slice of heaven called Nimbin. The Aussies always seemed pretty "with it" to me. Must be elections, or somebody needs funding.

Wallyduck is Aussie. He's known best for breeding "Ducksfoot". Kinda funny to think the Aussies might NEED this strain in the near future.

Nimbin is full of junkies, the only thing its showing how to do is to ruin a once peaceful little farming town with hard drugs and gangs.

they have already made bongs etc illegal in queensland where im from, which sucks cause when i left oz you could get em everywhere and now when i go back im goin to have to smuggle one in from NSW...lmao imagine that.

Western australia is however leading the way in "sensible" marijuana policies.

 

[killa-bud]

they cant ban them for tobacco use right? so it will be like the us,big deal,just cant call them bongs

 

[guest123]

so how will they outlaw rolling papers ???
darned fools , make the rest of us look more silly that we already do ,, lol ...

 

[mrgrowmez]

im sure they will think up a way wally. when i left australia my mates were stocking up on nice glass and ceramic bongs as they were on sale all over the place where we lived.

im aware of the sales of bongs still in that state mrgrowmez , they simply dont sell the both bong and stem together ,, 2 seperate purchases will still get u the same as one used too .. some loophole or something .. i have purchased one recently (this year) ...
from memory in nimbin as far as bongs went , they asked for a donation , for the gift u received from them ,,,...

lol, that's what i thought. Banning bongs is going to have ZERO impact on cannabis consumption/sales/etc, all it'll do is 1) more people will use vaporizers, buckets, joints and others methods, 2) they'll use their existing bong (banning bongs doesnt make all existing ones magically disappear!), 3) they'll simply make their own bong - something that most kids here in Oz learn in their first year or two of high school anyway, or 4) like you said it may be possible to sell the bong chamber and the stem seperately

It'll be about as successful as trying to ban spoons to cut down on heroin.

While I have the Aussies' attention... I knew a kid from Perth, and he always referred to the 'mix' (ground weed, or weed/baccy) as the 'moll.' If you were mixing it up in a bowl, that was the "moll bowl" any of you other Aussie heads heard of/used this term yourselves?

i cant see bongs being outlawed here, just about every deli sells pipes,bongs or atleast a conepeice and crack pipe with your morning milk. But if it comes that far ill be happy smoking joints or from my coke bottle.

yes its election time. alot of promises I think we have bigger issues in my area Ice, robberys and lack of water for the farmers seems alittle more important.

think the term you lookig for Huff n puff is MULL or mulling up.. in the west we probally use less baccy than the rest of oz i wouldnt exceed 10% baccy. heres another i term havnt heard in a while is "Yandi" =weeed heard it could be an aboriginal name but not sure. . 2plant law and cautions have done good things here more home growers less commercial bush.

 

[wordtree]

do tell- are there any local australian strains? Perhaps aboriginal in orgin?
Was cannabis introduced to the deep deep south?
