this could be a stupid question but, when i got busted they took my bowl and weed but let me keep a knife and lighter(used for smokin weed) but when i asked about my belt buckle with the pot leaf on it they said it WAS paraphanielia. do you think they were required to take my belt buckle?it was a christmas present i got that day!!
Technically, yes, it is paraphernalia. If you were to have a High Times magazine, lighter w/ a pot leaf on it, etc it would be considered paraphernalia if weed or pipes or anything like that is around.
i thought paraphernalia was items used for drugs (pipes, lighters, etc) how would a belt buckle fall under that?
no, i would not allow that... they could take me to jail before i gave up a belt buckle. I would physically stop them from taking it. FUCK COPS!!!
hmm i wish i knew my neighbor (hes a cop) better then i could ask him about this. I bet it probably depends on the cop too, whether hes a dick or nice.
A belt buckle IS NOT paraphanielia. Paraphanielia is something designed for ingesting illegal drugs. Unless it was like a really cool batman-type belt buckle that converted into a bong or something. Unfortunately, at your age there's little you can do about it. If your parents wanted to, they could demand that the piggies return it, but hey, it's a belt buckle, is it worth the hassle?
Yeah... unless it turned into a pipe or you used it to break weed up on or something, you probably should have just covered the damn thing up.
like in Dazed and Confused, Randy "Pink" Floyd is leaning against the outside wall of the Emporium (the pool hall where they hang out) and looks left, looks right, then takes off his belt buckle. he hits it, exhales, puts the buckle back on. it took me a long time to notice this part of this scene. since it´s not really the main focus of the scene you could easily miss it. fuckin´ great idea, though.
