Do your kids have water bottle or soda cans around the house? Teenagers are finding new ways to hide their stash in counterfeit items.

An undercover camera went to a “head shop” not in our viewing area to try to buy such items. A helpful clerk had a variety of fake items that could be used to hide marijuana and other drugs.

Some items were actually pipes and other paraphanalia.

The group NotMyKids.org showed us fake water bottles, felt tip pens and lipstick containers that were stashes and pipes.

Rick Borom is the Educational Director for Not My Kid and he shows parents and teachers some items they should look for.

Borom picked up an Aquafina water bottle that was actually a counterfeit item.

“It has water at the top, water at the bottom it's sealed and its cauterized at the top to allow concealment of whatever you want to put in there,” Borom said.

“Every kid I've ever showed this to has been amazed and has offered me money to purchase this.”

Borom then picked up what looked like a two-liter Coke bottle. It had been rigged just like the water bottle.

He then went on to a lipstick container.

“It has the proper weight of lipstick however it's hiding and masking a single hit marijuana pipe,” he said.

Next were felt-tip markers that worked as pens but also as pot pipes.

“This one is a working perfume dispenser but inside it you can see the little cocaine spoon,” Borom said.

Borom says the average age kid begins experimentation at 13 and the average length of time that kids use before being discovered by a responsible adult is two years.

Borom says parents should start drug testing kids at 12.. That way they have an excuse when someone tries to offer them drugs.

“We literally train parents to train their kids to use them and say, ‘my mother's crazy she drug tests me.’”
