In a 2007 interview with Rolling Stone, Owsley called the Dead frontman “the sun in the center of the solar system. Take out the sun, and the planets all go their own way. Garcia was the center.

Once he stopped exploring, the whole scene stopped exploring.”

That looks like your typical Meerschaum Pipe.
It’s more heat resistant than briar, with less risk of burnout.

Who cares. Some idiot will pay a fortune for the damn thing and claim Jerry came to him after he smoked weed in the Holy Pipe.

“The crude pipe looks like something a teen may have cobbled together at summer camp..”

People forget (or don’t realize) there weren’t ready sources of paraphernalia like there are today. In ‘The Child’s Garden of Grass’ (from the late 60s), there are diagrams showing how construct bongs from glass lab beakers because going down to your friendly neighborhood head shop wasn’t an option yet.

Or at least that is what I’ve been told.

My great-grandfather smoked Half and Half in a briar pipe. Mom kept it after he died and it smelled of burley and bright for years afterward. There was no spirit thing going on as with Garcia, but he did read the Bible a lot and often smoked while he read.

He was let out years ago . . .

No it doesn't. If your teen is building something like this you will have some trouble ahead. Typical Rolling Stone BS writer trying to sound cool. This pipe is quite interesting.
