Bloody hell, it's lunchtime and I'm reading about meth pipes in shops. What's next, crack vending machines?

Honestly just hide 'em. Kids don't need to see that crap. Common sense really.

ffs just ban them already. Stop pussyfooting around. Who needs a glass pipe other than meth heads?

Nah mate, it's a slippery slope. Next they'll hide all the light bulbs cos you can smoke meth off foil. Where do you draw the line?

mate, imagine if we banned everything that could be misused. Goodbye kitchen knives lol.

Good on her for speaking up. My wee nephew pointed at one the other day and asked what it was. Awkward as.

They're not for meth, they're for dabs bro. But yeah kids don't need to see that either.

Maybe if we didn't have a housing crisis and mental health support people wouldn't turn to meth. But sure, hide the pipes. That'll fix it.

Just put a curtain over the shelf lol. Problem solved.

Worked at a dairy that sold 'em. Felt filthy every time a kid came in. Hide 'em or stop selling, make up your mind.
