316,000 Holiday Bongs Seized at Port
Jonathan Lloyd NBCLosAngeles.com [Pics in URL] Custom officials unwrapped a surprise Tuesday at the Port of LA/Long Beach -- 316,000 glass bongs disguised as Christmas ornaments.
The shipment's value was estimated at more than $2.6 million. The fake ornaments were hidden inside 860 boxes that arrived from China in a shipping container.
Agents said the items were decorated like Christmas ornaments. Before you get any ideas, consider these holiday gift options.

Tommy Chong did 9 months in Federal prison for selling bongs. The hell of it was that it was his son's business. Chong had allowed his face and name to be used for promotional purposes. There is a movie
A.K.A Tomy Chong about it.
He said when the DEA agent asked him if he had any illegal narcotics in the house he snorted and said "I'm Tommy Chong man."

For those who don't know, LA has several MAJOR clearing warehouses in the valley which deal this stuff wholesale for the rest of the country.
A friend of mine bumped into one of them a year ago and was STUNNED at what she saw.
Imagine a Wallmart filled to the brim with drug paraphernalia.

because the item itself is not illegal.. it may be intended to used in an illegal way... but it’s not illegal itself
To: Churchillspirit
I got the impression its not general knowlege.
Its just a bare, no sign warehouse she walked by and they had the doors open to deliver another shipment.
