Just in time for Valentine's Day

I missed this one on the news at the time, but Dan Savage just brought it to my attention:

What time frame are we talking about here, early 70s?

Oh, I think drug paraphernalia was outlawed around 1981, but no one really enforced it. You could still buy a nice water pipe in '82, for sure. And I know for a fact you could go into any Spencer's in any mall in 1982 and buy a vibrator. A crappy vibrator, to be sure, but still. A vibrator.

Huh, that's much later than I would have expected...

I was only resident in Texas (SA) in *thinks* 1990?

There was a time in relatively recent history where Texans would be goddamned if anybody told them what the hell they could buy or sell, and fuck 'em if they don't like it. Not sure what happened with that, though, because I was already out of the state when whatever it was went down.
