Bill would beat back blunt wraps

Underage blunt smokers: your days are numbered. While you may have been taking advantage of a loophole that may allow minors to buy blunt wraps, grinders, and other toolz of the devil, a change is gonna come.
The reputable clerks of Store 24 and the East Side Mini-mart told your reporter, who was only asking for this story, that they already card for the nefarious wraps. Nevertheless, this bill seems like it would bring a pretty broad category of shady instruments under the aegis of the lawz.
11-9-13.20. Drug paraphernalia, blunt cigars, and similar items. – (a) No person under eighteen (18) years of age shall purchase, nor shall any person sell, give or deliver to any person under eighteen (18) years of age:
(1) Any item that constitutes drug paraphernalia, as that term is defined in section 21-28.5-1, where the seller knows, or under the circumstances reasonably should know, that it would be used to convert, produce, process, prepare, test, analyze, pack, repack, store, contain, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce into the human body a controlled substance.
(2) Cigars sold singly, flavored cigars known as “blunts,” unflavored “blunts,” flavored and unflavored blunt wraps, cigarette rolling papers of any size or composition, cigarillos, and tiparillos
Convenience store mini-bong-buyers, under-age blunt enthusiasts and all other manners of roustabout are officially on notice.
Actually, the best part about this legislation is that it somehow required the committee members to actually examine the items in question. It was thus that your reporter was almost unable to contain himself when, during their consideration of the bill, state legislators actually busted out, unrolled, smelled and otherwise played with several flavors of blunt wrap.

“contain?”
so people under 18 can’t buy glass jars or ziplok bags, either?

That ought to finally put the last nail in the ‘drug use’ coffin. I’m looking forward to a drug-free state once this passes.

The inclusion of the words “test” and “analyze” could prevent teens from getting ahold of harm reducing and lifesaving testing kits that allow them to determine if pills they are considering ingesting have dangerous adulterants in them.
The other stupid provisions of this bill notwithstanding, the words “test” and “analyze” should really be removed in the interest of saving teens’ lives.
