hey im wanting to buy a $500 roor or jbd in amsterdamn and wanted to know if you can ship bongs back to the U.S.A. or bring them back on the plane. i have brought bongs to different states in the USA (from cali. to wisconsin)and security stopped me and told me when i bring them clean all the resin out, and they let me go. i was wondering can u bring them back on the plane or not? anybody have any advice?

If they are new/clean I see no reason why not.

Just dont smoke any pot out of it before you come back. Smoking tabacco should be fine though. Ive smoked tobacco out of a bong at a local park in San Diego, no one can do anything. Its like smoking a cig.

There is not a lot of difference between a fox hole and a grave; but knowing that you dug your ditch and climbed in anyway.

i know about not smoking out of it before i bring it back , or at least have it perfectly clean. but i have done some research and in some sites it says that its legal to own a bong but illegal to ship or transport one. but i don't see how that fits cause how would u get it from the smoke shop to your house.also the bong I'm going to buy is going to be between $500-$1000 and i want to make sure that I'm not gonna be stuck in the airport in Amsterdam having to hand it over to security do to some international paraphernalia smuggling law.so if anybody really knows if there is a law like that or anything illegal about bringing a bong on a plane pls help.

Maybe call or Email either the US embassy in The Hague or call US customs back in the states.
They have to give you a straight answer on the issue.

why would you spend so much money on a bong?  I just don't see the point... I have a 7$ bong and it smokes fine. I'm sure there are bongs that smoke better, but that definitely wouln't be worth 500$  it's like this one and it's called a 'hollandbong' mine is brown glass though and doesn't have a 'when you pull your finger off shotgun smoke release hole' (how the hell is that called??). It costs probably around 10-15$
also any smoke makes a bong stink

Didn't you ever go through the "Must have that massive cool looking bong" phase? I did. These days I only have a bong for visitors if they need one, I'm not sure where it is though.

I've got a little glass one similar to that, it cost $25 I think.

to answer your question with another question.why do art collectors spend so much money on sh!ty paintings?the reason i spend that much money on a bong is because of the decoration factor. i love to have a nice piece of artwork that is top notch.and cost allot of money.and for bragging rights when i get home.

thanks.
I know what you mean with the comparision with art. In my case a bong is just a practical object to smoke weed from and so I don't care much about how it looks. I can imagine people would like to have a nicely crafted glass bong though 
Still 500$ seems kinda overpriced to me. juts look around and see what they have, who knows you'll find something similar for half the price or less...
Also can you post a pic (or a link to a pic) of the bong you want to buy?

Dude, you should be able to get a bong 10x better than that in Ampsterdam for about $150-200 USD. You're getting ripped off. Find another smart/headshop. Hopefuly the NL people here will have suggestions.
