fucking u.s. customs and border protection.
So here's a hot tip: it is, in fact, illegal to import, export, manufacture, sell or transport drug paraphernalia. I got burned on that first one. Not that it really matters or anything, apparently -- at least in my case, all that happens is they confiscate it and replace it with some brochures, entitled "Know Before You Go" and "Why did this happen to me?" I don't think I'm in any trouble, if only because I think that if I were, I'd know by now. But this has certainly been a lesson: never accidentally bring a pipe to Europe and think that it's going to get back into the country with you. Shit.
Seriously, this sucks, though it is kind of funny. It was the nicest pipe I have, got it at Bonnaroo. Well, my sister got it for me, but the point is I'll probably never see anything like it again. It was the coolest pipe ever. Now, it's the coolest pipe ever confiscated by United States Customs and Border Protection Service. A fitting end, I guess? Good story, anyway. All of this raises one obvious question: just what does the U.S. customs and border protection service do with confiscated paraphernalia? $20 says somebody just pocketed it. fuckers.
