ABC News reports that several internet web sites are guilty of selling drug paraphernalia to children, including "bongs, marijuana pipes, 'roach' clips, miniature spoons and scales". Are these those collectible spoons, like the state commemorative ones? Devices like scales definitely have a dual use, and 'roach clips' are known to regular people as 'tweezers'. Even bongs and pipes can be used for legitimate tobacco smoking, although it is unlikely.

Now, I've never been a fan of the war on drugs. I think too much money is spent trying to control people that are only damaging their own bodies. Casual drug users are typically no more dangerous to society than a casual alcohol drinker. Most of the violence tied to drugs comes with it's classification as a controlled substance.

But, I digress, because that isn't really my point. I am reminded of the RAVE act, featured in this old Fox News story where congressmen and the DEA want to classify bottled water and glow sticks as drug paraphernalia. It would seem as though they are commonly found at 'raves' where club drugs like ecstacy are prominent. Of course, they are also commonly found at carnivals and amusement parks across the nation.
