respect question

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

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

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

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.

Did your Grandmother's friend dissaprove of marijuana?

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.
