lol my dad is the same,i have two nice glass bowls,a small metal pipe,a couple of bongs and some AK-47,my dad has a little metal bowl that he's had for years(no problem there,but it's logical to get several...because thats what stoners do!)and some shwagg that's barely smokeable(i will smoke shwagg,i just wont pay for it...ever...spent to long doing that the first year i smoked)it takes three bowls to get pretty high and then burn out in about thirty minutes,while mine take half a bowl and your higher than a hippe on a helicopter ride for four hours,then you get to settle down for a nice peacefull nap afterwards...it's not like he's hurting for money either,he owns our house(we live in the burbs)he is very logical and frugle with his money but thats just pure common sence,like every one should have...and he has a steady job(this year marks 15 years)and he knows what good weed is!!! he's told me stories about the super bud he smoked back in the 70's,and he's been smokeing 36 years!!!i've only been smokeing two and already am picky about where my money goes(i guess i got it from him )oh well,eventualy i'll smoke him out and show him it's economical to buy better weed!
