Question

Is my metal pipe still safe to smoke out of?

I just recently got a metal pipe from a friend(its most likely a cheap one, but not sure) I decided to clean it out. Its probably one that he picked up at a gas station somewhere. But its not homemade. I soaked in rubbing alcohol for 10 minutes after I had washed it out with soap and water. Its now clean...however the blue paint/coating layer is coming off in some areas around the bowl, do you guys still think its safe to smoke? Its silver underneath by the way, and the coating of blue is mostly coming off around the edge of the bowl. Do you guys think the blue layer was put on to protect the smoker from something harmful underneath?

Answer 1

You wouldn't put anything on to help protect something harmful. Go spend $15 and get yourself a glass pipe, otherwise risk Alzheimers or whatever else metal pipes do to our head.
