>>1311682I just had my first pipe in like a week. Ill probably have another while I go work outside, but then it could be another week before I have another and it wouldn't bug me (aside from missing my little relaxation ritual and not getting to pipepost) And there is a cancer risk, but the same US Surgeon General study that found cigarettes to be so dangerous found that pipe smokers, on average, live longer than non smokers by 2 years. Its effectively a wash for most people who like it.
We dont allow weed because theres like a bajillion of you fuckers, and thats fine, but you could go anywhere and discuss cannabis online or in real life. Some of us count ourselves lucky to know one other piper IRL, or go our whole lives without meeting another one at all. Hence we are allowed our own tree fort, the rest of the block is packed with weed tree forts.
And pipes are so /out/ that we even get our own word for piping while walking outside. Lunting. Its a real thing.
