State Seeks Suspension of 10 Liquor Licenses
From Times Wire Reports
California’s Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control wants liquor licenses suspended at 10 stores accused of selling 4-inch glass tubes to undercover agents who asked for crack pipes.
Called “rose tubes,” they come with miniature fake roses and are marked as novelty gifts, but in some cases store owners or employees showed agents how to remove the roses and use them to smoke.
Tougher laws on drug paraphernalia went into effect Jan. 1.
