Brass or stainless steel usually

[Leonard12]

i heard brass was bad for you too.. or maybe it was another metal..

[screwedcork]

jesus christ you gotta be kidding, that's like solder don't use it

[moeburn]

Dude, are you smoking out of solder?

If thats an actual pipe and you're not talking about soldering, stick it in a pan and put it in the oven, it will melt

Do it and you might make the papers; "Man smokes marijuana from lead pipe- dies."

Seriously though lead is very toxic. Lead is a poison. Ingesting lead may lead to lead poisoning. Lead is a verb, noun and adjective.
I think to be truly safe for smoking purposes the metal has to be anodized.

CVS sells cob pipes for $5 by the way.

Nullific, he wouldn't make the papers from that.

First of all, you'd either have to eat a chunk of the lead, or hold a butane lighter over it and constantly inhale while the lighter is igniting the lead, every day for a year. Now for some of us pot smokers, that is quite possible

But yeah, lead poisoning is a slow and painful way to die. From fumes, extremely slow, you just get stupider and stupider every day for 15 years or so until you die, probably blaming it on the weed. For ingestion, it would be a very sudden death, many years down the road.

So, unless he knew he had lead poisioning and was able to explain it, the papers would never know :P
