respect question

[LittLeWinG]

hey guys just got a question for yas. My grandmothers friend passed away about a year or so ago and she left my mum a bunch of stuff. She also left my mum 3 awesome ivory pipes...which look very tempting to try. Do you guys think it would be disrespectfull to smoke weed out of one of them? :confused: honest and serious posts pleaaaaase :thumbsup:

[eddievanzant]

No. Not at all.

[briman]

Was your mother close to this woman?

[StOneD.aS.FuK]

sure, go ahead!

im sure she'll be looking down with a big smile on her face! (prob from the fumes)
but you might as well use it, otherwise it will just gather dust and it will be useless.

[LittLeWinG]

well yeah she was, especially in her childhood.

[LittLeWinG]

hahaha yeahh. you should see these pipes man, they are sweet.

[3rdEyeVision]

say a little praire(sp?) for her before you blaze and you should be good

[RevDutch]

i'd say it all depends on how sentimental your mother is towards these pipes. if these are the only things that your grandmother left her, I'd have to say no. Unless your mother doesn't like them in some way. Best way to find out is somehow bring up in a conversation how much they might be worth and if your mother would ever consider selling them. depending on her reaction would clue you in to how attached to the pipes she is. the less she cares about them, the less it matters what you smoke out of them (if anything).

[Swizzy89304]

As long as you grow a plant in her name, Im sure she wont mind.
Hell, go a step further and plant one next to her tombstone.

[RevDutch]

i also wouldn't use them as your "everyday" pipe either.

[LittLeWinG]

i also wouldn't use them as your "everyday" pipe either.

mm yeah not intending too :p also mum got alot of other stuff which are much more important, such as 2 persian porcaline statues which are worth a few grand. i dont think the pipes would be worth much money and they have been smoked out of before but ofcourse they still have sentimental value.

[briman]

I have to agree with revdutch here however nice it would be to smoke out of a kick ass pipe but ye ask your mum about them and ask her if sje would ever consider selling them and form what questions you ask her gauge how attached she is to the pipes if she isnt atall then use them to get fucked up but if she is i would respect her wishes

[Swizzy89304]

The question you need to ask yourself is this... what did she smoke in them?

[LittLeWinG]

As long as you grow a plant in her name, Im sure she wont mind.
Hell, go a step further and plant one next to her tombstone.

lol... i dont think she would like that actually...

[LittLeWinG]

im sure tabbacco was the only thing smoked in the pipes

[geonagual]

I think she would be honored for you to smoke out of them.
What a great way to be with her and remember her.

[LittLeWinG]

i dont think i will actually. im sure she wouldnt want me to smoke weed...so smoking weed out of her pipes that she left to my mum in her will just wont feel right :( its a shame tho, they are such awesome pipes going to waste.

I'm really pleased you decided not to I think it would of been a very disrespectful thing to do :thumbsup: :cool:

[Swizzy89304]

Well if your mum/dad knows that you smoke bud, just ask them what your grans opinion on it was. Even better, ask grandad if hes still with us.

[king kong bong]

i dont see the big deal. this "drug" nonsense has to stop.....

[BobBong]

I'm really pleased you decided not to I think it would of been a very disrespectful thing to do :thumbsup: :cool:

Not only would it be amazingly disrespectful.. but you're damaging the value of these Ivory pipes by doing so.. Have they been smoked out of before? are they antique's? this one was kind of a no brainer really.. if she'd left the pipes to you.. maybe.. but the fact is that she didn't.. she left them to your mother.

Respect the dead.
Respect your parents...

especially your mother.

[spatte21]

Id support it if its cool with your mom, considering they were left to her by her mother, but if she was cool with it id be all about it, everytime you picked it up youd think of your grandmother and im sure shed like to know that you were thinkin about her, while doing something you enjoy as much as smoking pot.

[LittLeWinG]

Hmmm its getting really tempting. They wer'nt my Grandmothers, they were one of her friends, whom my mother was reasonably close to. I questioned mum about the ivory collectables and she said they are worth nothing, this is because ivory is now illegal here in Australia, you can not buy, sell or bring any into the country AND they have been smoked out of before, just not weed...well im guessing not weed. So it wouldn't effect the price of them, my mum wouldn't sell them anyway.

Mum would not let me smoke out them....she does not accept smoking tabbacco at all and she is VERY against Marijuana. I respect my Mother yet i still smoke weed. These would be cool pipes to smoke out of...and i dont think my mum would ever know.

Considering that the pipes arnt worth anything....can i have some more opinions on whether i should smoke out of one of them?

[LittLeWinG]

and one more thing, i dont re-call ever meeting my grandmothers friend before. I dont know if this changes opinions, just stating a fact

[Garden Knowm]

NO.. there is no such thing as respect..

BUT, there is a reality that you could smoke from those pipes and then your mom and dad whoop your arse..

: )

[gjpop2000]

I wouldn't give half a shit, I'd do it anyday if I had the chance. I've been wanting to try different methods of smoking for awhile. Joints and foilies are all I've touched, other than a very small blunt, I guess that's called a roach. It was about a half an inch, maybe an inch.

[birdgirl73]

I'm with the don't-do-it crowd. If they were yours, it'd be different. But they belong to someone who wouldn't want you smoking weed anyway, much less out of something that belonged to her beloved mom. Can't you just get yourself a nice pipe of your own and smoke out of that? Raise a bowl in honor of both your mom and grandmom, since of course it is about to be Mother's Day, and congratulate yourself for not having stepped over those boundaries. Someday your mom will probably leave those pipes to you, and then you can do what you want. . .

I have no idea what you just said LOL!!! i love you too

[Eshelmen]

pipes were invented first for marijuana not for tobacco

so in the long run ur continuing the dream of the pipe

Mmmm damn your valid points lol. i dont think i can smoke out one of em after readin that. Oh well atleast im doing the right thing....i think :thumbsup:

[LittLeWinG]

I DONT KNOWWWWWW!!! They are all valid points, Making this thread has made it more confusing haha, oh well. Who's to say what's right and what's wrong? Very hard

[likemclever]

No way.

These pipes are not yours. You do not need to smoke out of them you just want to. You wouldnâ??t like it if someone took something of yours and did what they wanted to with it.

I think it would be very disrespectful especially considering how you mother feels about smoking.

[flamingskullballs]

i think you could..dont pass it in a huge circle, kind of a by yourself thing...

but they arent yours of yourse....why not just buy your own "cool pipe to smoke out of"?

[LittLeWinG]

Aight the "No" comments heavily outweigh the "Yes" comments and they make alot of sence, im just going to leave them alone and hopefully buy a cool pipe off someone no head shops around here lol. I guess ill stick withthe gatorade bottle bong for a while :thumbsup:

Thank you all for your opinions.

[gjpop2000]

Now that I think about it, it's really not worth the risk. Just stick to whatever you're used to and eventually you'll run across something better.

[RevolverBlaze]

smoke it

[birdgirl73]

You're a good man, LittLeWinG, and a good son! I know a lot of young men who probably wouldn't have even debated the issue with themselves.

My brother and I were in this situation many years ago after our dad died. Dad had some awesome ivory pipes and he also had a few of his dads which were even more aewsome. We made the decision to only try it out of one and not to make a habit of it. Just to try. Those pipes are worth some bucks and will only go up in value. I wouldn't wreck them cuz later on, you'll be sad you did. And their value will be much less. If they are already used and mucky then by all means, party away.:dance:

[Radio Caca]

Good choice man. I was in the same boat as you...

...My grandmother's, second cousin (so she was barely related to me, if at all) died this summer. My mom and her where VERY close. And the last couple of weeks of her life my mom was at the hospital 24/7, doing all the stuff the nurses didn't do right, like feeding, bathing and stuf like that. The only time I met her was when I helped her move into her nursing home and then again at her funeral. Well my mom and her sisters went over and they had first picks on her stuff One of the things she got was a REAL, oriental pipe. She was stationed over in Japan I'm assuming during WW2, where she bought it. It's so badass, it's got an ivory bowl, about a foot long stem, and one of those bendable mouthpieces. Well I thought it would be really cool to smoke out of it. I never felt so shitty in my life. I didn't even know her, but I know how much my mom loved the women and I just smoked some buds out of one of the things my mom picked to remember her by. Worst feeling in the world, terrible high too.

Shit, just thinking about that makes me want to go out and by her another mothers day present. Again, good decison...:thumbsup:

if the pipes are made from real ivory, they could have some value

if they are old would give them even more value

use ur better judgment, and just be careful

and enjoy

[orangeman]

No I dont think it'll be disrespectful, it's just a pipe.

[puffpuffand away]

if you can
take a pic of ,and give us a peek at um

[Ganjasaurusrex]

Yes it is disrespectful. To both your mom and the woman. They were left to your mom. You dont know how your mom feels about those things. Those objects have too many emotions that go with them. Use something else.

[Crosis]

Did your Grandmother's friend dissaprove of marijuana?

[Midnight Baker]

If it's not your property then i would say yes its disrespectful. Those pipes are not yours, they are your mothers and they are her's until she gives them to you, you buy them from her.

To you it's just a pipe, a nice one no doubt. However this pipe could mean a lot more to your mother and you would truly be disrespecting her the most.
