I agree with others - it sounds like a homemade bong. I used to see people in college improvising with water bottles, soda cups, what have you. And it's for pot, not cocaine, so less alarming in that sense. But still - time for a talk, apparently.

Why? It is reasonable to think it might be drug paraphernalia. both parents being drug naive and not knowing a lot about what what drug it might be used for doesn't make him an idiot. I really hate this trend of putting men down and name calling them for no reason.
I think PP said that because OP's husband thinks it is related to smoking cocaine, whereas pot seems to be the obvious likelihood. It just shows his naivety when it comes to drugs. OP, you do need to talk to your son, but I suggest you and your husband to some reading up online and other resources first. Since you both have zero experience with drugs, you want to make sure you handle this well. I graduated high school in 2004 so I like to think I'm not THAT old. I think one of the worst things parents can do is the whole "drugs will ruin your future, drugs will turn you into a bad person" type of speech. There were so many people I went to high school with that smoked pot and were star athletes and students so that entire conversation will go in one ear and ear out the other.
But yeah, unless it is a hole that looks like it appeared from a breakage, he is likely using this to smoke pot.
Drugs will ruin your life

Not true. Many of my friends were safe experimenters, and they are all doing very well now in their respective fields.
I was an UNSAFE experimenter and I still graduated college and went to law school. I quit when I was 24, and I am currently a successful lawyer, mom and wife.
You only know about the fuck-ups, because the people who don't have problems can't talk about their drug use. They could lose a job or get arrested.
+1 with the same resume.

I love the catnip story! A friend's mom in high school once found a small amount of green stuff in pants pockets and we told her it was Italian seasoning. And backed it up by carrying around a glass McCormick's type jar of Italian seasoning...really...

OP is really a teenager who wants to know if his parents can recognize a bong.
Yes, we can. Even I can, and I've never smoked pot.

way to go young fella.
look within 10 years, he'll probably have the ability to buy legal pot and legal edibles and there'll be nothing you can do about it then.
When I was 14 I was still futzing around with trying to bum cigarettes off high school kids. Very impressed that he's already making gravity bongs at his age. You should be very proud, OP.

So I don't think OP and her DH are nearly as naive or incompetent as they could be!
That is HILARIOUS, PP! Thanks for the laugh. Your mom sounds like a keeper.

For some kids it might just be experimentation for some kids it could be the beginning of a life long addiction. Talk to your son.

When it's full, cover the hole with your finger. Light the weed. Let your finger off the hole so water escapes from the bottle and the smoke fills it. When the bottle is full of smoke remove the tinfoil and put your mouth over the bottle to suck the smoke it.
It will get your very very fucked up.
Wrong! This is not a gravity bong. This is a regular bong. There would be no hole near the bottom if it were a gravity bong, and the entire bottom would be removed.

Bong for weed. Talk to your kid about how weed won't kill you but other drugs will.

if there's gum residue by the hole, definitely a bong.
