Considering selling customized blown glass on my website. What precautions and/or legal issues do I have to take care of so I don't get into any trouble?

Honestly, I would contanct a lawyer if your seriously considering selling pipes online(and across state lines).....
The operation pipe dream thing that went down not too long ago busted up a bunch of online pipe sellers.... not sure if these vendors were advertising/or somehow referencing their pipes were 'weed pipes' or if they had all the disclaimers(tobacco use only,etc) or what the actual circumstances were with op. pipe dream.....
I would research Operation Pipe Dream and definately consider a chat with someone who knows the law...
my two cents

tommy chong got sentenced to 9 months.... I think he might get to do it at home though... I think there probably won't be too many more glass sellers busted by the feds, they have their hands full with imaginary terror suspects...
On the same topic, have any spore sellers been busted since PF?

FWIW,
If you're going to be shipping between states, Iowa is particularly notorious in its application of paraphenalia laws. I belive that a number of the Operation Pipedream suits were filed from the federal building in Des Moines, IA. From what I've gathered from talking with headshop staffers in hipper states, it's well known around the industry that you DONT SHIP TO IOWA.
Sucks for me trying to mail order cool glass. Which is why I look for cool shops when I travel or friendly heads on tour :-)
