Boston Headshops??

[RIP ODB]

Hey-

I am from a small town on the cape and our head shop selection sucks ass. I was wondering if any of you fellow MAers out there knew of any good head shops in the Bean.

I'm looking for illadelph glass, roors, and some sick bubblers.

If any of you all could help I would appreciate it.

So, Bostonians, where do you get your glass??

[RIP ODB]

Not one of you can tell me the name of a decent head shop in Boston?

[heatherhatesyou]

the hempest on newbury street is really good, but fairly expensive. they have tons of hemp clothing and products, too.

Yeah, definately do not go there with less than 75 and expect to bring anything nice home.

[degreeabsolute]

hempest sucks. you are better off going to sugar daddy's or good times.

[Awill3449]

does sugar daddy's card for under 18's?

[420gman]

yes

[partymost]

I've just moved to Cape Cod myself. Sucks is better than I have found it here. Shops in Boston are P R I C E Y !!!! A good head shop with excellent prices and a wide selection of standard pieces with a few exotics is:

Vibrations
Rte 5
Enfield, CT This is just South of Springfield MA off Rte 91


If you are really into a journey you can do what I do. Save up, don't go often, and take the trip to Torrington, CT. There is a shop there called Wasteland that has a cool owner who will make deals even on the comparatively low prices marked, especially if you stop in for a quantity purchase. Wasteland: 860-482-2000 Call first. Store hours can be annoying.

I think I've been there. I do some dog breeding in that area. Boston prices are expensive yes. Best deals are probably always gonna be online.

Go to Quick-Mart in Woonsocket RI, its rigth over the state border im not sure the exact location but if you google it you should find it..they have bongs bubblers mini hookahs bowls all pretty cheap..i bought my piece there for $20 and its lasted me years.
oh btw they dont ID either

[markomon]

I would go with this JamFlowMan's suggestion as If I am not mistaken possession of paraphanelia in MA is a felony where as possesion of da herb is a misdeamenor up to I think an oz. I live here in MA as well and have always used mail order. 1percent.com is based here in the ole USA as I used to do business with grasscity.com but it got kinda stupid using these folks to get say pipe screens and pay those shipping fees from Amsterdam.

dude for real? How can they even prove that the paraphanelia isn't for tobacco?:wtf:

[Jesta]

I've heard the hempest is really good from my friends and they have some really nice bongs from there. They also said it's madd expensive.

[Jim Morrison]

hempest sucks i went in their once and all i saw was clothes i dont know if they had the bongs hidden somewhere or if they just stopped selling them

my favorite head shop is definitely buried treasures on Haivland ave. the dude that works their is cool as shit i bought my volcano there and he threw in a metal grinder for free and i always buy my salvia from there too 30x potency rips your mind up.

the prices arent that bad but they dont really have much of a selection just a few hookahs few bongs and an assortment of one hitters and metal and glass pipes.

another one thats alright is sugar daddys they have a much bigger store and much bigger selection of glass pieces but they charge an arm and a leg for glass blown bongs $300+ for some pieces

[Hazeydays]

Good times closed

[foxysox]

If you're in N/Central MA you owe it to yourself to check out phat stuff in Winchester NH. No sales tax either! VERY VERY good glass selection, good prices, and they have some really stunning pieces that would make a real snob happy. That's where I get all my glass and accessories. Their selection of replacement sliders is VERY VERY good. You will always find one to match your bong.

[captian420]

i no a good shop around there in providence town its called opm they have sum sick glass there

[FriendlyWalrus]

There aren't too many head shops (let alone good head shops) in Boston. Sugar Daddy's Hempest, and Buried Treasures are the only notable ones that come to mind. If you're willing to drive, there are also a couple of good ones in southern NH. Other than that, you might as well get on one of those round trip busses to NYC and get some glass in greenwich.

There is a new glass shop in Hyannis that is still somewhat of a secret. At the end of Main Street, tucked in the corner near the old Beech Tree, you will find Morrison Glassworks. A family-friendly storefront leads you to a back room containing a sweet selection of heady glass, all made right there in the studio. They do custom orders, too. Watch him make your bowl!

This guy sells his work to head shops in Boston, Providence, Northampton, VT and CT. The sticker prices are lower than you'll see anywhere else for this quality glass (and they're usually down to haggle). Anyone who knows heady glass knows that this is the shit.

WELL worth the drive from Boston or Providence.

The Joint is by far the best shop in Boston for many reasons. First, prices are beyond better than average and the owner will gladly knock even more off the price if you buy in a group or if it is simply your first time in the shop. Second, if you go in and you are polite, well mannered, and talk to the guy he will be happy to throw you a one-hitter, a couple dutches, and some rolling papers for free. Get to this shop stat!

[highflyer67]

If your really looking for a good head shop in new england with quality glass i would go to Northern Lights in Connecticut. Awesome selection reasonable prices.

[Zorg88]

There's a shop at the Arsenal Mall (Best Buy, Target) in Watertown that has a small selection of water pipes, regular pipes, supplies, etc. Kind of a cheesy outfit, they also sell fake handbags, etc. I can't remember the name of it but you can't miss it ... they may have what you need. It's right next to the Carter's baby clothes outlet store (no sh*t!)

Possesion of 1 oz. or less in MA. is now a civil infraction, not criminal.
There is a small fine. (At least for the first offence)
Possession of paraphernalia on the other hand is still an arrestable offence which I don't understand because you can buy it at many stores.

The shop your refering to is called Herberger's. However it is located at the Watertown Mall which is across the street from the Arsenal Mall.

Glass blowing done on site!!!

I'm heading over to check this place out tonight/tomor, will post an update tomorrow or the next day. However, a friend how told me about this place bought a unique 2 footer (triple filtered, single unit bubbler) for a verrrry reasonable price. His opinion on this shop in comparison to other shops was that there is no comparison. I'll let everyone know, but it sounds great.

OK, no glass blowing done on site. It's done in Colorado. Just correcting my other post. Anyway, here's a review I wrote:


I'd never heard that GSU had opened until yesterday, when a friend told me about it as he demonstrated the filtration device that he had purchased there.

"Never heard of it" said I, as I took part in the demonstration. "I'll have to drop in .................................................. ..........................sometime soon."

Drop in soon I did, last night right before 8PM. Found a spot right out front, in a marked metered parking space. Do not park in the DD lot or you'll be towed.

GSU is located below street level, in a basement store that is well lit and well decorated. The walls are covered with eye catching illustrations, cool paintings, music memorabilia, sports themed graffiti photographs, counter culture photos, and other forms of art. Glass pipes are displayed in well lit glass cabinets, much like jewelry is displayed in a jewelry store. The cabs are filled with pips of all shapes and sizes, as well as bubblers, stems, bowls, etc.etc. glass!!! The owners are glassblowers, so these guys have everything you may need. From tiny one-hit bats (aka crackpipes) to functional artistic filtrating art, they have it. That's as far as what I refer to as pipes goes.

When you enter the store and turn to the right, you'll see two larger glass cabinets that contain what I'll refer to as bongs. (For reference, I define a bong as a table or lap based filtration device that you lord over while using, and a pipe as something you bring to your mouth to use. Either can use water.) Each cabinet is filled with glass water bongs of different shapes and sizes. Some are made by the owners, but they also carry some name brands such as HVY. Great selection and fair prices, especially compared to what we Bostonians are used to paying in our head shops. I paid 125 for a 14" HVY all glass (aka glass on glass) bong, with a sizable bowl. Beautiful, functional piece.

Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. No hassle shopping, I was able to handle any piece I considered. I definitely recommend stopping in.

181 Harvard St, directly across from Soul Fire BBQ! I just went in there and it looks like a really good shop. They have vapes, a ton of pipes and water pipes, detox drinks and synthetic urine.

Some of the brands I noticed were Phire, Heavy, Delta 9, Bio Hazard, and they had one I had never seen before called Kong. I got double tree perc Phire tube with Celtic colors normally $275 for $225, the guy hooked me up because they just opened.

[stupids]

Northern Lights in Enfield CT is great ... I hope its still open.



Possession of paraphernalia on the other hand is still an arrestable offence.
Its only an arrestable offence if there is residue in the paraphenilia ...

you cant be arrested for having a brand new bong.
