A methamphetamine pipe consists of a glass tube connected to a hollow sphere with a small circular opening on top that is designed for smoking methamphetamine. A pipe that has been used will have ash on the exterior of the sphere and white or gray crystalline residues within the sphere. [1] Alternate names include pizzo, [2] tooter [3] pilo, horn, oil burner, bubble, tweak pipe, meth pipe, gack pipe, crank pipe, crack pipe, pookie pipe, chicken bone, or ice pipe. They can also ostensibly be used for legal purposes, including applying the hole "on the top of an eucalyptus bottle" for inhaling aromas or moisture. [4] [5] However, there is a lack of evidence that such devices are used in this manner by ordinary individuals. Many articles of drug paraphernalia are sold under intentionally misleading names and product descriptions to skirt regulation and to refer to their function euphemistically.
These pipes are often sold at head shops and convenience stores. [6]
Pizzos are often advertised as "oil burners" or "mystic vases" designed for burning incense oils. Wish has listed the glass item as a "Colored Glass Oil Burner Pipe" [7] and received criticism from the Queensland government as the region struggled to battle the rising use of methamphetamine. [8]
A fentanyl pipe is a hammer-shaped pipe used to smoke fentanyl based pills.[ clarification needed ] [9] [10]
A love rose is a glass tube with a paper or plastic rose inside of it, and a bit of cork or foil on the ends to keep the rose from falling out. While ostensibly intended as romantic gifts, their primary known use is for the smoking of crack cocaine. [11] They are commonly sold at convenience stores in the United States, particularly in large cities. [12] [13]
