WHATT,
Nooooo, say it aint soooo.

Yawn. So what else is new? Amazon might use underhanded tactics, but I don't think it falls under the category of "racketeering". (see The Clinton Foundation for a prime example of that). Besides, while I've seen reviews on Amazon of people disappointed in their purchase, I've never known anyone to be out and out ripped off by them as is definitely possible on eBay.

Vox sux. A more interesting article is "How to politely smoke weed", a guide on cannabis etiquette coming from Emily Post's great-great grandaughter. I bet you're supposed to stick out your little pinky while holding the roach clip, never say "Hey! Who slobbered all over this joint?" and a good host keeps the bong water changed out and fresh at all times.
