I love gravity bongs, and don't think I'll ever give up on them. First of all, I wouldn't really bust out a gravity in a party situation. Mainly because it's just a pain in the ass to keep having to pack it up every time somebody wants to hit it, and then go through the process of milking it. This can be really annoying if you're dealing with more than a couple of stoners. In my opinion, the gravity is the perfect way to get completely ripped when you're just kicking it alone, or maybe with one other person. It is also top fucking notch when it comes to conserving herb. Nothing gets me higher off of .1 or .2 grams than a good gravity. As far as it looking illegal... Well, I guess it is illegal. If you're trying to turn on a non-smoker to weed, the last thing you need to bust out is a gravity bong. That'd be brutal on a newbie. :rastasmoke:
