Talk:Drug paraphernalia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
light bulbs? How in the world would you use a light bulb to smoke with?
Watch "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas"
in general, a freebase compound in placed on the bulb, which heats the compound past its vaporization temperature, producing alkyloid smoke.
A lightbulb can be converted to a crude vaporizer, which can be used to vaporize/partially pyrolize many substances, among them amphetamines, base cocaine, and cannabis. HoldtheMayo 03:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Legitimate Product?
If a prouct ws legitimate then wouldn't it not necesarilly be paraphenalia? Also the tobacco pipe exemption really depends on what jurisdiction you are in.
Lame Entry Alert
Almost the entire text is a reprint of a DEA fact-sheet.
[edit] Neutral?
The article is VERY USA oriented, and is obviously anti-paraphernalia.
this article is almost completely lifted from DEA website, thus the bias. User:thechosenone021
The "Counter-point" section of this article is extremely opinionated against international rules regarding drug paraphernalia. I suggest that it be edited to be more objective.
The counter-point section of the article was as opinionated as the half of the entry it was meant to oppose.
This article is way too biased for displaying on wikipedia. Immidiate remake should occur.
I added the NPOV flag. Reason: Article is politically biased ("Political bias, including bias in favor of or against a particular political party, policy or candidate.", Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view). The following sentence makes this clear: "Today, law enforcement faces another challenge. With the advent of the Internet, criminals have greatly expanded their illicit sales to a worldwide market for drug paraphernalia.". Also, as the anonymous commenter above noted, extremely USA-oriented. Almost everywhere else, paraphernalia may be sold freely. Balou 22:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] worldwide instead of POV
If the issue is that the point of view is not held by all countries, the worldwide tag is better than NPOV. Rares 22:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
