The Authorities can only ever do one of two things—either ban it or tax it. But hell yeah good idea in theory but no practical use.
There is some useful commentary on this site as well. There is some quite informed commentary as well as it attempts to get a laugh. It indicates:
Users can also ingest methamphetamine through more than just an ice pipe, but the pipe is probably the cleanest and safest method.
Needles are another easy method, but might I suggest you go and visit the ACT Histopathology Museum first, to see what the after-effects are, when unskilled hands think they know what they’re doing? … For you, I wholeheartedly recommend a viewing of “The Thing” (Do not click the link if you are of a weak disposition … which a great many Canberra students have seen as part of high school Biology … is the perspex-encased hand of a man who chose to inject into an artery instead of a vein.
