Long description: Water-pipe used for smoking marijuana. The main body of the pipe is made from a glass Coca-Cola bottle. The mouth of the bottle has been fitted with a rubber stopper through which are three pipes. One of the pipes has a strip of red, green and yellow coloured plastic tubing attached to it. The smoke is inhaled through this tube. Stoppers with various tubes, like this one, are manufactured in bulk and can then be fixed onto the mouth of a wide range of bottles or other vessels. This sort of a pipe is known as a bong. [MdeA 25/11/99]
