    I go into one of my local shops looking to pick up a screen for my slightly broken bowl. I've never had to buy screens before so I just ask the guy for some screens. He corrects me and says "Do you mean filters?" Apparently something about how he can't legally sell me screens but filters otherwise it is a $1,000 fine. I have never heard this before. He had to keep correcting me because I kept saying screens. The thing is when he handed me the bag of screens I looked at them and it said "faucet filters". Now I'm thinking what the hell? I would STILL call a legit faucet screen a SCREEN!

    Is it that taboo to say screen? Jesus, sounds like splitting hairs to me. Oh well, grabbed the last big bottle of Grunge Off :p

    Thats retarded, im pretty sure hes just as asshole. What if they were glass screens? Calling those "filters" wouldnt make much sense, would you have to call them jacks or something? hahaha

    Yes, I completed my transactions with success :p

    yeah man i guess it depends on your guy, my guy here calls them screens, and after you start goin in there a lot and he recognizes who you are he'll cool down hard, like, he trips me out everytime hes talkin about a piece, bong, etc... hes always like you put your pipe tobacco, or your "green" tobacco here blah blah blah haha

    bought the big ass space case grinder, awesome by the way. Accidentally said kief catch, and quickly corrected myself to pollen catch. the guy looked at me agreeingly like, "Yeah pollen;););)" haha. Of a quarter of decent full buddy mids I got two good pinches of kief. The size of the screen/grinder really does matter.

    Btw picked up some new papers. Is there a paper review thread on here? could be useful. I used some juicy jays flavored in watermelon, blueberry, and strawberry. For some reason I had an awful time getting the strawberry to seal up and stick without ripping or getting to wet. The other flavors were fine though?

    Thoughts it could have been the flavoring, but the others were fine. Huh. And I bought some RAW papers.....they are awesome, roll so smooth and nice and strong but thin. Smoked so well. Definately my paper of choice for a while.

    Sorry if I went off topic, seemed relevant when I started typing....:smoking:

    lol so i was in a head shop looking at their $500 plus bong section and i totally just say woah that bong is siiiick, and you of course can not call them bongs...just water pipes...but im a medical patient...so bongs are legal for me anyway, so the guy goes "you mean water pipe?" very bluntly " and i go no im a patient, thats a bong" and he responds "bong away then captain" But the way he fucking said it was so epic

    are you sure? i read somewhere that mmj laws don't cover paraphernalia charges... i.e. you can still get charged for drug paraphernalia even though you are a medical patient.

    Haha he was probably high as tits.

    Dude i wasnt even in there buying shit, i was just high as fuck leaving my dispensary, which is right near 3-4 shops and i wandered in there too see if they had bowl cleaner, which they didnt. But there was an obvious red eye tone about me and that shop clerk. Went back the next day to buy a slide...he wasnt there.... I didnt captain away like i was gonna man.... fuck im so high

    I'm not sure what was the clerk's deal. I go to that shop quite often and it is not the first time I've dealt with him. The GM even recognizes me. The only thing I can think of is he was covering his ass since the boss was there :confused_2:

    I'll be buying my SCREENS from the other shop from now on. Only went to this one because they have my nag champa incense.

    He probally just thought you can't call them screens, sounds like he might be new since you go there often and never seen him, I think he just didn't wanna make a mistake first few times on the job and then get fired you know?

    Some owners don't let you say bongs, or papes.

    Uh yea you can say whatever you want, but bongs are classified under the illegal category, water pipes are not, if you SAY you are selling a bong, your breaking the law. Its so dumb

    The guy sold you faucet filters?? The dude ripped you off. Screens are different. Faucet filters are the ghetto way...
