The Minnesota Supreme Court says bong water can qualify as a controlled substance.
In a split decision today, the high court says a person can be prosecuted for a first-degree drug crime for 25 grams or more of bong water that tests positive for a controlled substance.
The Supreme Court says that counts as a drug “mixture” under state law. It noted that the liquid wasn’t plain water, but had a pink color and fruity odor. A narcotics officer testified that drug users sometimes keep bong water to drink later.
