and hookahs and shit like that?

i'm not sure but i think this could a local issue. check your state or local government.

I believe this may be the wrong thread..

but here in NC you need a license to run any business.

or you could always just sell them to your friends and through word of mouth, then as long as you don't make any great amount of money you're not gonna be hassled.

DumbWaiter is right. It's going to vary by jurisdiction, so you'll want to check locally.

Also, since this is more of a legal issue, I'm moving it to the appropriate forum.

If you're actually in New Hampshire, there was a big case a while back in the Supreme Court about that shit.

I wouldn't risk selling pipes and shit like that in NH.

that helped so much, thank you!
