I had a great opportunity to have a discussion with Jay from Grateful J's in Florida. I had some concerns regarding the law changes in Florida regarding pipes and wasn't able to find any accurate information. Jay explained to me what the actual law is all about and how the media has been reporting incorrect news. Jay formed The Florida Smoke Shop Association to bring smoke shops and glassblowers together in effort to fight the bill and in an unified manner. Jay agreed to update us with latest information about the law changes in FLorida and we thank him for it.

Below is the email I received from Jay that explains a little more about FSSA.

"The Florida Smoke Shop Association (FSSA) has been established to bring the Florida smoke shop industries stores, glass blowers and vendors together to protect and defend ourselves from parties interested in taking away our livelihoods. On the other hand it gives us the opportunity to work openly in the political arena to build a stronger community. Working with our Lobbiest and attorney the FSSA was successful in having HB49 amended from its original wording banning smoking pipes in Florida. Any stores interested in becoming a member of the FSSA can contact us through our website floridasmokeshops.org or by contacting grateful j work by private message on Facebook. "
