Copper poisoning sucks, it makes you schizophrenic and gives you golden halos around your eyes, and although it can be cured easily, its extremely difficult to diagnose.
That's exaclty what I was thinking. Tin and lead are in solder and if you have ever soldered an electrical circuit you know that the smoke it gives off is not going to be good for your lungs. Get a glass bowl or get some zigzags,.... possibly?Quote:

on a side note i'll probably not remember any of you when i'm about 60 or so, since i smoked out of this shit alot as a child.
Seriously? I had never heard of that. I guess it would be a good idea to go out and buy a damn pipe then.
Lead paint chips are delicious when you have the munchies though.
I'd stick to a glass or a stone peice if at all possible.
