But there is one drawback — if you use a glass pipe regularly, it can fill up with black resin and ash that can gunk up the works and leave the glasswork looking like an asphalt spill.

A quick google search will show you that there is a major disparity in incarceration rates of minorities and People Of Color for cannabis crimes compared to that of middle- and upper-class Americans.
