Hey man, when it comes to the pipes you made, personally I'd prefer not to smoke out of them. With that being said though, as long as they're not dirty old scraps, I'm sure smoking out of them once or twice wouldn't do too much harm, but I wouldn't do it too often.

As for the chick, I think the answer's pretty obvious.

Just go up to her when you see her outside or somethin and be like...hey you wanna toke up or something right now? and if she smokes then she'll most likely say yea.

Don't smoke out of regular copper, it's toxic... as for aluminum, I smoked out of cans alot when I started so I think it's fine...

When it comes to the Aluminum:
Smoking Using Aluminum Foil

Most brands of aluminum foil (Renoyld’s Wrap with the anti-stick coating and similar brands being the exception), are untreated and remain 99.9% aluminum (again with the .1% being residues and other agents in the manufacturing process)

In order to inhale aluminum it would have to be changed from a solid to a vapor. This requires a lot of heat. More heat than what it produced by a butane lighter. A butane lighter is not even capable of melting aluminum, if a lighter fails to melt the aluminum, it will not be able to change the aluminum into a vapor.


Conclusion
I put this together so individuals can make an educated decision on if they want to use aluminum foil for smoking marijuana.
There are some studies/people who suggest aluminum can lead to/aid Alzheimer's. My suggestion: If you have nothing to smoke out of, go for it, just don't use it too often, to be on the safe side. Learn to roll, or get a pipe, if you know people who smoke these aren't too hard to obtain. The other week someone offered a nice pipe that could be taken apart/put back together for $10 american. Careful what you put in your lungs, Safe smoking :)
