Look in Tuesday’s issue for a particularly fecal edition of Police Watch. For now, though, come with us as we take a trip into the evidence locker of Binghamton’s State University Police, where cops store the guns, knives, drug paraphernalia and other fun stuff they confiscate from suspects here on campus. And check back every Friday for more looks into the evidence locker.
Today we’re taking a look at a pipe to honor the name Pipe Dream, a bowl with a bowl, one of the most intricate smoking devices we’ve ever seen. Here we have a marijuana pipe in the shape of an entire bathroom plumbing system. Made mostly of PVS tubing and held together by copper corner pieces. It has three components, as illustrated above.
The bowl is actually a bowl — a toilet bowl, that is. “It used to have a tank, but that seems to have fallen off,” said Matt Rossie, an investigator with Binghamton’s New York State University Police. “If you look at it, you can see it has signs of very frequent use.”
The drain in the bathtub, meanwhile, serves as the piece’s carburetor — the system’s air intake. We’re sure an incalculable number of thumbs and/or index fingers have bathed in that tub.
And the sink — well, it’s just a sink. It doesn’t do anything.
