Is it legal to buy bongs, pipes, dab rigs online?

Introduction

If you live in a state that allows bongs and pipes, it's legal to buy one online. If you're in a state where it's illegal to sell or possess them, however, buying bongs and pipes online could be considered illegal distribution of drug paraphernalia — which is why most online sellers ship their products discreetly.

The DEA considers selling bongs and pipes to be the illegal distribution of drug paraphernalia.

The law is not clear. The DEA considers selling bongs and pipes to be the illegal distribution of drug paraphernalia, but the agency has not been able to enforce the law.

In some states, such as Colorado and Washington, it’s legal to sell pipes that are used for tobacco use only. In addition, many states only classify water pipe smoking devices as drug paraphernalia under certain circumstances (for example: if they contain resin from your previous smoking).

However, it’s still too early to know how this will play out in court cases across the country because these laws are relatively new—and most people don't want a visit from a police officer after ordering an unusual pipe online.

By some readings, the federal law prohibits the sale of all smoking accessories, regardless of how they're intended to be used.

The federal law is very vague. It prohibits the sale of pipes and bongs but does not make it clear whether it is legal to sell pipes and bongs if they are intended for legal use.

This suggests that the penalty for violating this law may be less severe than other federal drug laws. However, some state laws may make it illegal to sell any smoking accessories, even if they're intended for legal use.

States can prohibit the sale or possession of pipes and bongs, but most don't.

You can buy a pipe or a bong in most states. But some states do have laws prohibiting the sale or possession of certain pipes, bowls, and bongs. And some states have specific laws banning those items from being sold to minors.

And then there's another kind of law that may affect your purchase: Some states prohibit the sale of marijuana accessories to people who are intoxicated at the time of purchase.

So if you're going to buy one online and plan on using it right away (and why wouldn't you?), make sure that you haven't had anything stronger than an IPA at lunchtime!

Many online sellers ship their products discreetly.

Many online sellers ship their products discreetly.

• Some companies choose to offer discreet shipping by default. They may not even mention on the website that this is an option, so you have to read carefully and look for the fine print if you're looking for it.

• Other sites will only offer this as an add-on service, or only when you order over a certain dollar amount. In these cases, it's usually cheaper than standard shipping rates.

• Still, other sellers offer shipping options that include non-descript packaging with no indication of what's inside—so if someone sees your package at home or in transit and asks “What's in there?” they'll get no response from anyone involved (you included).

It's legal in most states to buy a bong online, but it could be considered illegal if you're in a state that bans pipes and bongs outright.

When it comes to buying bongs online, the situation varies from state to state. While most states don't ban pipes and bongs outright, some do, so be sure to check local laws before ordering a glass piece interstate.

Conclusion

All in all, it seems like buying a bong online is pretty safe. The biggest risk might be getting caught by customs if you're ordering from overseas. But if that happens, at least you'll have an awesome story to tell your friends!
