(Everything in the screenshots is for "SMOKERS" to read and remember)
So guess what people in California...
It is 100% legal to be in possession of a m**h pipe as of 2021 and NO the law on that has not changed...
The California Department of Public Health overrides any law saying otherwise as long as you got your m**h pipe from an SSP...
What is an SSP???
It's a Syringe Service Program (needle exchange)....
AND NO you don't have to show proof that you got it from an SSP either...
I can only show you what's up people, and give the links for you to see it yourself, I back my words 100%, so you can either believe me or not, but check the links and see it yourself...
Got a case for a pipe even a loaded one, get it dropped now... Or save the info so you can tell a cop in the future to beat feet so it doesn't even make it to the courtroom...
Good luck everyone
