While I cannot really comment on legal issues (not my department), I do know that there is a large and thriving domestic niche of people creating products for these markets. These products are often specified 'made in usa', and are sold to most anywhere..
There are some states with very harsh rules though...
The main use of this product is to smoke legal material. The range of smoking products that are legal is different in different cities, states, countries, etc.. At this point we are just following the lead set by dozens of other companies serving this niche.
We are eager for experience to help us tailor how we present this thing..
Just FYI, there are dozens of workshops and manufacturers in the us pumping out high end water pipes - some sell for thousands - $500 is an average price for a mid-high-end usa produced pipe...
I personally knew very little about the niche before I did their branding - for researching their market I was given dozens of different magazines, newsletters, etc. from all different parts of the high times type market and the medical thing happening all over.. Interesting reading... Only time will tell what happens..
