Hookah Stigma

[Lakemonster]

Seems the hookah has a stigma for being used for smoking illegal substances.
I've heard some stories of smokers getting hassled by "The Man" due to not understanding the original use of the nargile.
I havent had any personal experiences, but wondered if any of you have caught any grief over hookah smoking by law enforcement or otherwise.

well, a lot of people in my dorm seem surprised that I have never smoked any unsmokables in my hookah......

I just told old friend that I smoked the hookah before going to visit her at work.  She was like .  BTW she is very anti-tobacco and a Mormon.

Yeah, no one seems to understand why I have a "no wacky tobacky" policy on my hookah. People always look at me like an idiot when I tell them I have not, and will never, use it for weed.  Not that I have anything against the gange, I just want to keep my hookah pure and clean for its intended purpose.  I say, get a frickin' bong if you want to cheif.  That is, after all, it's specific purpose.  And the hookah's specific purpose is ma'assal.  Period.

Remeber the thread i posted about hookah smoking making it to Fark.com...all the posts were of dumbasses calling everyone stupid for not using it for the unmentionable.  I set up an account with them just to tell them off.  I cant even remember the password I attached that thing.

I hate to do this year and constantly but...can someone PM Frenchy and tell him to pass me his email... I feel so bad asking but it's really important, he wrote some great news in a PM but I can't reply without an email Thanks,Jon

jmexx: i sent frenchy a pm for you.
As for the hookah...
I know the look you guys mean...depending on the type of person, you get a different "look." The stoners give you that wide eyed "oh yah..party time dude!" look and the straights give you that "oh my god I can't believe he does that and leaves his bong out for people to see!" look.
As for me...i make sure nothign besides ma'asell goes into my bon...er hookah.  I have 2 very goood friends who love it and ones a cop and one works for the state. So to not endanger their futures, I make sure the Hookah stays clean and legal. Plus, I travel with it a lot and KNOW the first time i get pulled and the officer figures out whats in the case, im gonna get searched. Why ask for trouble?  Don't you love stories of big drug busts where the only thing that drew the attention of the police in the first place was the driver doing 95 mph in a U-Haul or SUV with a busted tail light and expired tags.

If anyone put weed in my hookah without my concent (as if I'd give them permission), I'd break the hookah over their head and tell them they just bought a hookah, use their money to get another, and disassociate myself from them.

when i take my hookah over to my friends house i some times leaves it
there for them to smoke  cause I dont have time to smoke it my
self. and i have one rule with them SHISHA ONLY!! cause if anything
else is in there then they are disrespecting me and my hookah and them
they are getting an ass whooping and i'm getting a new hookah. but i
don't have to worry cause one of them is in the airforce and is a
straight liner. and if i didnt have complete faith in them then i
wouldnt leave my hookah over there.

Smoking anything other than ma'assel would be pointless anyway - the way it works with the molassas and all mixed with weed would mean that basically dry weed would only burn and you wouldnt get the right smoke anyway.
Correct? I'm 20 and friends think that smoking weed from a hookah would be the greatest ever but then again, its NOT FOR WEED its for my hookah tobbacco. Period.

well don`t forget that the arabs used to (and still do btw...) smoke hash in hookahs! but for most part its just a waste of weed... couse of the slow proccess of burning most of the thc goes to hell... and you need to use more hashweed then usually in a bong or a JJ..... and it really stinks up the sh*t out of the hookah and leaves nasty ass stinking black oil on the bowl... (don`t ask me how i know)
