Actually, yes. A rose by any other name may not be illegal. Here in my
home
town, it is illegal to sell a "bong" but it is legal to sell a "carburated
water pipe." Technically, they are the same thing, but the law is written
to
the letter, not the spirit.

Yes, it's a case of semantics, but such is the case.

And WHO determines the name? Surely not that over exuberant DEA agent?

I got news, if "the boys" want you, they will find a way to get you.

Believe it or not, it's the retailer that sets the name. Example: I once had a
friend walk into a store and said, "I'd like to look at that bong, please."
Retailer's response: "I'm sorry, sir, we don't sell bongs here. I'm afraid
you'll have to leave now." He did so, walked back in, and said, "I'd like to
look at that water pipe, please." Retailer's response: "Certainly, sir, I'd be
glad to help you."

Yes, they have made the NAME "bong" illegal, but NOT the product! As long as
there is the possibility the item can be used for smoking some LEGAL substance,
such as tobacco or herbal blends, then only the NAME "bong" is illegal.
Evidence all the "smoke shops" here in Sandy Eggo! They ALL sell a large
variety of glassware used for smoking, but as long as they can be used for
tobacco they are legal.

I think this guy's attorneys are right -- as long as he is careful about the
name, he is okay.

Do you live in a cave? These things are legally manufactured and sold
everyday. And I live in the most conservative state in the nation.
