Bong maker totally bummed about Houston smoke shops that allegedly sell knock-offs - Houston Chronicle

 <p>A top-of-the-line bong maker in Amsterdam says what a number of Houston smoke shops is doing is totally uncool. The company says that at least six local merchants have been peddling knock off versions of its exclusive, award-winning glass water pipes, in violation of federal trademark law, according to court documents filed Tuesday in Houston. The suits come on the heels of similar litigation in California, Florida and elsewhere.</p>

Totally bummed hahah.

Those pipes do look nice.  I wonder how much a lawsuit like this could actually produce.

Might be tricky considering they are bongs and reefer madness is still alive and strong in many ways.

<p>Hmm that's so sad and annoying, imagine working hard for something great, and when it eventually becomes a success, your ideas are then stolen. Now that's so sad</p>

<p>They need blockchain. &nbsp;A bong-chain. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Only buy authentic bongs from the true creators.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Smoke from only the best.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If blockchain works for food and is being implemented for high end,designer stuff, why not for bongs?</p>
