Don't hate the cops (unless they're bad). Hate the law that made it illegal! It's the law that makes the cops bust people for pot. I know that most cops find busting people for it is a waste of time and tax dollars. As to the paraphernalia issue, I agree that bongs and pipes are hard to ditch compared to a joint and, if caught, get you in more trouble than the weed itself. Now, pipes and bongs are better than joints in the way that you don't have to go through the process of rolling it and making sure that it rolls right and not have to worry if it's rolled too loose or too packed.
