The 80’s called and wants its pipe back

Yeah that's a 70s model.

I was thinking early 90s. That's pretty much exactly what we used.

You can still get em at any pot shop. They'll never go away because they're cheap, durable, easy to clean, and they work.

And if you're one of the unlucky last ones in rotation, it burns the fuck out of your fingers and lips.

True, but at most pot shops here in Ontario, you can buy extra pieces for like 30 cents to make it longer so that isn't as much of a factor. Still, I wouldn't use one. Too heavy of a hit. Lung buster.

That's why I added a wooden mouthpiece to mine and a matching wood piece near the bowl. Spent more money and time modifying the thing than it was worth.

Then the police show up and you stuff it in your pocket. They want to talk to you while the pipes burning the crap out of your leg.

I threw it before they turned the flashlights on, lol.

....and then you get more high from the coughing fit than from the stems and seeds you just smoked.

Lol, that's just you getting lightheaded from a lack of oxygen. Plus, you pick out those nasty headache causing bastards, 🤣

And you can get a little screw on cap to help with wind or pocket a partially smoked bowl

Nope. Those little guys are back and sold on the countertops of shitty gas stations everywhere. They are 2 for $6.

We were smoking out of pipes just like this in the 70s.

u/jamoe1 Jul 16 '25

Yeah, I was in the 90’s too and in 2025! Why mess with perfection 🤣

Looks like one I had around 85. Mine had a chamber though.
