Bummer. I guess papers and blunt wrap will be next.

Fawk Florida.No chance in hell I'd go back to that shithole.I love the places but the police are a bit too much for my long haired scroungy ass.I am the guy they don't want in there state

lol bongs and cannabis literature have been illegal in canada since 1988......they dont enforce it obviously LOL

More money to the Bong S.W.A.T. Terminate all bongs.
they lost all feeling with reality those politicians there

Sucks for the glass shops down here I wonder what their gonna do. Another reason I need to get the hell out asap. Doesn't mention anything about oil rigs but I'm sure it's banned also.

Sorry I put this in the wrong spot, I didn't even know there was a section just for this. Thank you for moving it.

Definitely gonna avoid Florida from now on! I can't spend tourist dollars in a state that damned backwards and ignorant.

As long as we don't use the word "bong" or any other illegal reference, like roach clip or blunt wraps, it is that way here, smoke shops on every corner and it has been illegal forever.

yeah haha some of the shops call them "tobacco pipes, or novelty smoking items " and the store always has a teeny tiny sign saying
"these products are only sold to people over 18 and are for novelty or tobacco purposes" but ya gotta look REAL hard

just gives them more power in the courtroom i would think, on the streets i doubt much will change except for signage.

Florida - On Mar. 9, 2011 the Florida rules of Executive Clemency were toughened. Automatic restoration of civil rights and the ability to vote will no longer be granted for any offenses. All individuals convicted of any felony will now have to apply for executive clemency after a five year waiting period. Individuals who are convicted, or who have previously been convicted, of certain felonies such as murder, assault, child abuse, drug trafficking, arson, etc. are subject to a seven year waiting period and a clemency board hearing to determine whether or not the ability to vote will be restored.

Prior to the Mar. 9, 2011 rule change some individuals convicted of nonviolent felonies were re-enfranchised automatically by the Clemency Board upon completion of their full sentence, including payment of fines and fees.

Florida Rules of Executive Clemency (81 KB) (as of June 8, 2012)
Florida Clemency Application (64 KB) (as of June 8, 2012)

According to the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition website (accessed Aug. 15, 2012), "If you were convicted of a felony in another state and had your civil rights restored before you became a Florida resident, you do not need to apply for RCR [restoration of civil rights] in Florida."

None of the stores are really doing anything about it, you can try wonderland gifts it's the best shop Florida has to offer (only sovereignty and mobius dealer in FL) but they don't ship functional glass.

why i use blunt wraps all evidence is gone

But if you don't have enough for a wrap it blows, you gotta smoke at least a gram every time you blaze.
