316,000 Bongs, Disguised As Christmas Ornaments, Seized By Customs Agents In LA

LOS ANGELES — Customs officials say they got a surprise when they found 316,000 glass bongs disguised as Christmas ornaments at the Los Angeles harbor.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said Thursday that agents found the highly decorated drug pipes in 860 boxes shipped from China. The cargo, estimated to be worth more than $2.6 million, had been described as glass figures and Christmas ornaments.
The bongs were seized Tuesday at the Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex.
Customs spokeswoman Cristina Gamez says the importer remains under investigation and there have been no arrests. She says it is illegal to import or export drug paraphernalia in the United States.

the laws for bongs and pipes is so weird. Also, you have to prove that the end user is buying them to smoke something illegal. I don't see how clean bongs can be confiscated.

I remember reading something about water pipes being shipped here but they only had one hole in them which was the top, if they had two then they couldnt come in or something? Then they would just heat a tool up and shape the second hole once they got in

Maybe someone can put up what i'm thinking of, I read it somewhereeee but was probably high
