Is it Legal to Buy a Bong Online?
Buying bongs online is an attractive notion because you can complete the purchase without getting out from the comforts of your home. However, there are many reservations when it comes to buying from on online headshop and the first one is legality.

Buying bongs, dab rigs, and vape pens are legal as long as you intend to use them for tobacco and other herbs such as sage, mint, mullein, rosemary, hops, and skullcap. During the transaction, talking about using them for anything else other than smoking tobacco and legal herbs can void or order. Throwing out illegal smoking slang and asking how to use the bong for illicit purposes can cause issues with your purchase. There are also some things you need to consider regarding the legality of purchasing from an online headshop.

You have to be of legal age to purchase


Depending on state laws, you have to be either 18 or 21 years old to buy a bong online. Anyone younger is not allowed to purchase bongs legally. It’s the same as buying liquor or cigarettes. Your supermarket or your awesome local liquor store won’t be selling cigarettes or alcohol to a child or teenager. If you look too young for your age, the store has the right to demand identification. It’s the same with online headshops. Depending on the terms and conditions of the online headshop, you’ll be asked to provide proof that you are 18 or 21 before they fulfill your order.

Check state laws in your area


Different states have different laws regarding the sale and purchase of water pipes based on the intent of use. In some states such as California, Michigan, Vermont, and Washington, using recreational herbs is entirely legal. This means it is perfectly okay to buy a bong online, you don’t have to worry about your order. Other states such as Illinois, Louisianna, Connecticut, and Missouri make it alright for you to use herbs provided that they are for medicinal purposes only. Other areas not listed below have strict and rigid laws when it comes to using recreational or medicinal herbs. It’s better to check with your state laws regarding the purchase of water pipes before you complete your transaction.
