{{Short description|Glass pipe associated with recreational drug use}} '''Drug pipes''' are vessels used as 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 crack cocaine, and the former when vaporising 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 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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Becker |first=Ronald F. |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YDGaGSdjc6kC&pg=PA355 |title=Criminal Investigation |date=October 2004 |publisher=Jones & Bartlett Learning |isbn=978-0-7637-3168-7 |language=en}}</ref> Alternate names include '''pizzo''',<ref name="PagliaroPagliaro2019">{{cite book |author1=Louis A.
