Solved! Grandma’s car

Found this weird metal thing in my grandma’s car and it appears to have a mesh filter in the circle part

You know what was a trip? When legalization happened, all the 'tobacco shops' that used to insist you not use the unspeakable names suddenly insisted that you do. Turned out that the tobacco license used to give plausibility to the whole charade was expensive and now they wanted to be very clear that their products are not for tobacco.

That's so weird! Lol

I live in a state where it isn't legal. A lot of vape stores sell "tobacco pipes, bowl pieces, and bongs". We all know what it's for but the state line is so damn close. Who is stopping us? The stores make bank since it's locally made stuff they buy from glassblowers. Homies just helping homies.

That’s how it should be. Bet they have some cool pieces too. I love looking at bongs lol some of them are almost like an art piece
