Pipe is for smoking thuốc lào, which gets you higher than marijuana, but only for a short duration, so you can take a couple of hits then go back to work. In northwest Vietnam three years ago, I introduced thuốc lào to an Argentine, who thought it was fantastic. Thuốc lào is also a lot cheaper than weed, and it's perfectly legal here.
