Glass pipe associated with recreational drug use

**Drug pipes** are vessels used as [drug paraphernalia](/source/Drug_paraphernalia) to aid the smoking of hard drugs. They usually consist of a glass tube with or without a bulb, the latter particularly used when [freebasing](/source/Free_base) [crack cocaine](/source/Crack_cocaine), and the former when vaporising [methamphetamine](/source/Methamphetamine).

## Methamphetamine pipe

A **methamphetamine pipe** is a glass pipe which consists of a tube connected to a spherical bulb with a small opening on top designed for [smoking](/source/Smoking) [methamphetamine](/source/Methamphetamine). A pipe that has been used will have carbon deposit on the exterior of the bulb and white or gray crystal residues on the inner surface.[1] Alternate names include **pizzo**,[2] **tooter**[3] **pilo**, **horn**, **oil burner**, **bubble**, **tweak pipe**, **meth pipe**, **gack pipe**, **crank pipe**, **crack pipe**, **pookie pipe**, **chicken bone**, or **ice pipe**.

Meth pipe

They can also ostensibly be used for legal purposes, including applying the hole "on the top of an eucalyptus bottle" for inhaling aromas or moisture.[4][5] However, there is a lack of evidence that such devices are used in this manner. Many articles of [drug paraphernalia](/source/Drug_paraphernalia) are sold under intentionally misleading names and product descriptions to skirt regulation and to refer to their function [euphemistically](/source/Euphemism).

These pipes are often sold at [head shops](/source/Head_shop) and [convenience stores](/source/Convenience_store).[6]

Pizzos are often advertised as "oil burners" or "mystic vases" designed for burning incense oils. [Wish](/source/Wish_(company)) has listed the glass item as a "Colored Glass Oil Burner Pipe"[7] and received criticism from the [Queensland](/source/Queensland) government as the region struggled to battle the rising use of methamphetamine.[8]

A **love rose** is a glass tube with a paper or plastic rose inside of it, and a bit of cork or foil on the ends to keep the rose from falling out. It is also known as a glass rose. While ostensibly intended as romantic gifts, their primary known use is as a pipe to smoke drugs such as [crack cocaine](/source/Crack_cocaine) or [methamphetamine](/source/Methamphetamine).[11] They are commonly sold at [convenience stores](/source/Convenience_store) in the [United States](/source/United_States), particularly in inner-city locations.[12][13]
