Rebadged bong to beat SA drug pipe ban

AN Adelaide business is rebadging outlawed cannabis bongs to beat tough new laws making the sale of drug implements illegal.

Attorney-General Michael Atkinson and a reformed cannabis addict say they saw illegal bongs on sale at Off Ya Tree in Hindley St, but they were labelled water-pourers.

"I'm advised that re-naming drug-use products does not protect a retailer from being subject to the new drug paraphernalia laws," Mr Atkinson said. He said he had alerted police to Off Ya Tree's alleged sale of illegal items.

Former addict Ryan Hidden says he was offered a bong by staff about 2.45pm on Sunday – more than 14 hours after the sale of bongs became illegal – and again yesterday.

Mr Hidden says bongs in the store were advertised as "water-pourers" but they were simply bongs by another name.

Mr Hidden, 20, who co-founded the Reformed Drug Addicts League of SA volunteer group, said there was no doubt the "water-pourer" was a bong.

"There's no difference," he said. "They've just taken down the sign saying `bongs' and replaced it with one saying `water-pourers'. It was still a bottle with a stem, a cone piece and shotty hole (for releasing smoke) at the bottom."

Mr Hidden said he had beaten a five-year addiction to cannabis and had been campaigning against its use for more than a year.

He went to several tobacconists on Sunday and yesterday to check on compliance with the new laws, but Off Ya Tree was the only business offering "water-pourers" and other drugs paraphernalia for sale.

A spokesman for Off Ya Tree said yesterday the company no longer sold bongs.

"We don't actually sell bongs at all," he said, identifying himself as Ben. He said the company had no further comment.


Haha, "Cannabis addict"

Yeah, they'd better outlaw dirt and cow poop too. We can't take any unnecessary risks. :rolleyes:

> Mr Hidden said he had beaten a five-year addiction to cannabis

Maybe there is something to that brain shrinkage study after all...

Theres nothing worse than a reformed stoner that goes anti-drugs.  I'm reformed but not stupid - it was my choice to smoke weed 24-7 and my choice to stop, I'm not gonna campaign for other people to stop, its up to them.

If he had been convicted (as he should have) during his drug abuse years, he could not be AG.

Now he must take out his guilt by ruining the lives of others.

Real compassion and understanding.

The AG wasn't the "addict". Apparently he just hangs with one.

I have to wonder, would there be any cannabis addicts if no one ever said it was addictive?

So this 20 year old douchebag was "addicted" to cannabis and, like our federal government, is too afraid to let other people make their own mistakes and learn their own lessons from them. This waste of life is a danger to our freedoms and should be stopped from violating our freedoms, preferably by a bullet to the head.
