Re: drug business

Like most other things that could potentially be illegal, what really matters is the use... While the sale of most of these products is done under the premise they are used to smoke legal substances the majority of the usage is probably for illegal use...age is of no real issue, except for the fact there is a minimum age on smoking which may extend to the purchase of such items...

Howver, I most instances if one is seen on you person, in your car etc. It may be used as probable cause for further search or investigation due to their known common use for illegal activity... So, while it may be legal to purchase it is still something you don't want to flaunt or keep in the open.
