Good list. Thanks.

I thought I read on here that a bunch of head shops got busted and put out of business.:pimp:

[Sauce]

I like the gas pipe in arlington, i went there a few weeks ago to look for a new bubbler. They have a large selection of nice glass including roor

Welcome back Tasha. I've missed hearing from you on here. I hope everything is going great for you these days! :thumbsup:

[LiquidMagik]

BC Smoke Shop in Houston (on Westheimer). Favorite place for all my glass pipes. They had a Darby headpiece in awhile ago that sold for over $1000. Full lines of PHx, ROOR, and Blue Dot. Bought $700 worth of glass from them in the past year, don't even bother shopping anywhere else anymore.

[LovelyTasha]

Glass Peace is located @
2801 E. Pioneer suite 116

they also have a location in Ft. Worth!

[thcbuz]

thanks lovelytasha,I know right where glass peace is.I've gotten gear there before.nice guy.they make pieces in the back there I believe and were planning on doing some in front some

Hey, sweet Chris! Long time, no post. Hope all is well with you. I need to drop you an email and tell you what's up on my end. Not much, actually.

[onwardthroughthefog]

Chrissssss......give me a shout when you get back in town. The beer's on me. Well, hopefully IN me...:glugglug:

Onward!

[onwardthroughthefog]

Hey, sweet Chris! Long time, no post. Hope all is well with you. I need to drop you an email and tell you what's up on my end. Not much, actually.

birdgirl, are you from our local area as well?

Onward!

[birdgirl73]

Yessiree I am. In Frisco!

[onwardthroughthefog]

Well then we're just a stones throw apart. Nice to meet you neighbor.

Drop me a line anytime at my email address, which is my name at hushmail dot com.

Hope you have a GREAT weekend. We're off to the movie right now.

Take care,
Onward!

[birdgirl73]

Nice to officially meet you, too, Onward. You wrote me on my first or second day on here to see if I'd had any luck with a connection. That was in the old days when connection talk was still the standard.

Hey! And I meant to tell you that that was a tremendously nice thing you did for your friend who's sick--the gesture for his family and kids.

[onwardthroughthefog]

I remember writing, just not that you lived so close. Of course, my rememberer isn't what it used to be....:(

Thanks for the kind word. It's hard having a friend go through this, as you well know. I can't imagine how their children deal with it. At least they get to have some really good memories together if nothing else. As a matter of fact, my friend said they are at Six Flags today. He invited me, but my wife really wants to see that new movie The Breakup, so that's where we're headed in a few minutes....ah, the joys of parking at the mall on a Saturday.

Have a wonderful day!
Onward!

[th3bigbad]

hey yall, there is a small shop in Paris too. Pipe World its 1150 Pine Mill road.Its cheap for being this far outa the way. lota glass, water, vapor, and good ole papers for as far as my blood shot eyes can see.

[thcbuz]

went to glass peace saturday and got a sweet handpiece for 20$ and a case for 5$.i love that place.you can get sweet bubblers there for under 50$

[Nikita123]

I just went up to the Gas Pipe at 190 and Marsh and I picked up a nice little bong and some of those flavored papers.

They were very helpful even though I had to ask alot of questions.

It is very close to my home; I had no Idea I had a head shop so close.

Just hit that new bong......Holy Shit!:rasta:

[thcbuz]

woohoo,kickass with the new bonger.i do have a bad report about the gaspipe on forrest lane in north dallas.they ain't the nicest folks in that place.I 've had morethan one bad experience there with the"don't say the wrong thing"dickheads that work there.they smoke ciggarettes in your face while your trying to shop(nasty asses).and last weekend I went there with my wife and asked to see a color changer.like 28.00, no big purchase.and the dude said we couldn't hold it in our own hands before we decided if we wanted to buy it.done.won't be back.I've been known to drop several hundred at the right store at the right time.I'll go elsewhere now.the folks at the gaspipe in north dallas make the decision easy

[bssman]

I went to the gas pipe in Arlington on Collins about two weeks ago. The staff there has always been real helpful. I bought a little wood and metal one hitter that doesn't look like a regular pipe and it closes to cover the bowl. Fits in my pocket. Guy was real helpful. I was looking at something else and he suggested the one I bought even though it was cheaper.

[Aaron385]

Man I can relate to that thc.. I went to high times in houston a couple weeks ago and it use to be a real cool place but I had not been there in like 6 years (I moved to another state).. when I went back this time (yea.. i moved back to the greatest state ever!) it was a totally different atmosphere. Much of the area that use to have "tobacco water pipes" is now whatever the PC term for a crack pipe is.. and the employees who use to be cool just treated me like crap.. and I was dressed far nicer than I use to dress when I went there, and I had a couple hundred bucks in cash in my pocket I wanted to spend.. I left the store and the only thing I bought was a copy of "high times" the magazine and I almost wish had not got that (you could tell it had been read a few times before I bought it)..

Yea, I think I will go ahead and take another 6 years off from that place. :)

[thcbuz]

Hey bssman,don't get me wrong aout gaspipes in general.the one on collins is cool and the one on maple is cool as hell.just some snapperheads just don't know how to treat people,like Aaron385 said about hightimes in H-town.ya know,when I get stoned an rock back and cypher it out like jethro I can only guess the people who are pissheads in the headshops are acting that way because THEYhave something to hide.and in that business theres only 1 thing they would need to hide.it's nice to know where to go and get decent gear these days.but with the high prices its really nice to know which stores to steer clear of.Enlighten & Expand,ThcBuz

I've been treated extremely well at the pipe on Collins in Arlington for almost 20 years. But the one on Skillman leaves a LOT to be desired. There is one black man who worked there, and may still, who has always been very nice and cordial and helpful. But there is a middle aged white guy, who may be the manager, who is a real jerk. I've been in there when he's so wasted he couldn't even open the cash register or count change. Once he just said "f*** it" and walked away when he owed me change. He went and had some kid come over to count out my change. I could have lied and said I gave him a big bill, because the older dude had no idea what was going on. Once I was checking out and two young guys came in and he just told them to get the f*** out because he was sick of punks. They were definitely of legal age, but I guess the way they dressed was offensive to him. The guys at the Collins store told me that they hear a lot of complaints about him.

Onward!

[PigSnout]

Recently went into the Gaspipe on Maple. Always have had a good experience there.
I needed a rubber gromet for my bong and was politely told to say waterpipe. Always knew you couldn't use a phrase like "in order to smoke pot". Never knew saying bong was a no no.

Howdy Snout ,

Hey ! I need one of them grommets ! Thanx for the heads-up on what to say in the head-shop..lol.

Have a good one ! :stoned:

[bssman]

Do you think the gas pipes are independently owned and operated or does the same company own them? Just a thought.

[thcbuz]

I don't know about the gaspipes being independantly owned.But yeah,it's the middle aged white guy thats the asshole,and the big fat chick that wants to smoke in your face while your shopping.peace gang,Have a stoney weekend,I know I am.ThcBuz:cool:

[bssman]

I wish THCbuz. I'm dry. Should have some by the middle of next week though. I've been dry for a couple of days, but a friend set me up with a J yesterday. At least I had a good Friday night.

[onwardthroughthefog]

I asked once and was told that all the gas pipes are owned by the same guy. He even opened one in Albuquerque, NM. I remember going to the one in Arlington back over 20 years ago, and it was the original.

Onward!

[thouragood jankins]

theres one in the denton mall, the odessy shop, for those who live near denton....

[thcbuz]

there should be a headshop in every mall in my opinion.that way middle america gets to see reality instead of hiding behind their rose colored glasses.I don't go to malls,but no matter I still like the idea.

[enthused]

Around the NW houston area there are some good ones and in downtown houston.

on 1960 and kuykendahl(somewhere around there) are my favorite shops "Rock N Roll It" and "Bizarre Bizarre"

-- Little off topic, but close...I was wondering if you Were you a Zew Freak?
Remember, KZEW in Dallas? Where all the "heads" were dialed in.
Had a Zew Freak sticker on my rear window.A Bizarre elephant, with speakers for ears... It might as well have been neon.....for stoner.

Oh, gosh yes I was into the Zoo. It was by far the best rock station DFW has ever had. I was so sad when it shut down. KZPS and the Bone don't hold a candle to KZEW in it's prime.

Thanks for the flashback!! :thumbsup:

Sorry, Onward it's been awhile since I've been back over here,............. Man, I loved the ZEW., And No, They don't compare, I think it was largely the time, and the music. The DJ's definitely had it goin'. I still have a ZZ Top promotional puzzle of one of there album covers, In my closet. I won, when I was the right caller. Remember those?
Still has the K ZEW shipping label.......... I have to laugh.

There were no heads shops in Plano where I went to school, we drove to Greenville Rd. as I recall. Moved out of state, right out of high school. I didn't come back until mid 80's.

I could always list the puzzle on eBay, maybe some executive, previous ZEW Freak would spend big money, stranger things have happened on eBay. I can just see it. Some top exec. with a K ZEW search saved on "My eBay".

Good to hear from you onward, when work settles down in the fall, I'd like to catch up. Hope things are well.

[beezer]

There's a good place in McKinney, 380 and the 75 next to target.

[heyheymymy]

anyone know any good head shops in S.A. ???

Im new to the area and trying to get my roots set...

[Aaron385]

and yea I keep hearing there is a headshop in college station but I cant find it anywhere.. and i hate asking around about that kinda stuff :)

[stoble]

There is a pretty new headshop in Denton on the corner of Carroll and Sherman Dr... or at least I think it's new cuz I never noticed it there before. Bigger than Zebra Head and the Denton Mall one.

[gr0ingCrack]

HOUSTON 420 IN houston texas HELL yeah..

Btw my name is houston thats what is so great :)

[Aaron385]

i have a friend named dallas

[thcbuz]

I found a new retro-revolution today on greenville avenue across from where the old arcadia theatre was.just opened a couple of weeks ago they told me.they had all they great gear that they have at the north central location,only ya don't have to go cross-town to get there.cool people,normal prices,all the usual gear.

[SomeDude]

new retro revolution huh? I'll have to check that out. If you're looking for rock bottom prices on a piece the place to go is Public Wholesale in shoppers alley on harry hines. It's near harry hines and denton drive and it can be hard to find because it is literally in an alley with a bunch of import stores. selection is a bit small, but they are cheap. It's definately the place to go if you just want pipe parts, because they will be the cheapest, at least in my experience. A standard sized downstem there was $3 last year.

[thisguy47]

high times on bellaire in houston is right across the street from my school. me and my friend will go over there and look at pipes and bongs and stuff after school sometimes.

[SomeDude]

i meant on harry hines and forest ln. i don't even know if denton and harry hines intersect. i'm pretty horrible with directions, and i've lived here my whole life.

[CheebaDude]

Yo, I tried to find that Public Wholesale and could'nt find it, but I found Texas Imports on Emrald just north of Royal and it wasnt to bad. Still need a good reliable hookup so.....Hola at the Dude!

[NativeTX]

I went to the old Retro Revolution and they gave me a discount card for 10% off at the new store. If you're gonna make a pricey buy, you might want to go by and see if you can get one. Every little bit helps.

These are the most helpful and friendly folks, I've found in this business around DFW. You should give them a try.

[thcbuz]

B$mp

[fanclerks]

Hey, anyone in the DFW area know a good headshop to get a nice hookah and vape from? I saw some nice 4 person hookahs on Ebay but I'd prefer to buy one that I can see in person first.

[PigSnout]

fanclerks "The Gaspipe" has them

[El Digital]

i bought my first piece ever at mr gaspipe.. it was a 2 ft green star with ice catcher, glass on glass.

loved that thing, it was in the one i believe right off of the 75.

[Jaycub]

Sound Revolutions on 1960.

Everyone should go there. The Owners/workers are all super nice :)

[thcbuz]

[Delta]

Hey there is a place called the Rage store at belt line and 35. I remember seeing a whole bunch of hookas and stuff in there. 1104 E. Beltline #112,
Carrollton, tx is their address. They are pretty cool too.

[onwardthroughthefog]

Anyone know if there is a store in Plano, other than Retro on Central?

Onward!

[Delta]

Sorry bro I don't know of any over that way!

Sunrise Records on 11th street in Beaumont has got all the goods...

[hello3pat]

I don't go to the head shop often the closest one to me is evolution, but I have to get other people to buy me stuff from there because I'm under 18. Although one shop at the Pasadena Indoor Flea has bongs, hookas, and pipes along with swords and shit and they sell to under 18 as they are "novelty items" that function

[420SATX]

Found a cool new shop to check out in SA, they have the gear at really good prices. Planet K sent me to them believe it or not. It's not a head shop but more of a couples store that has the goods.:pimp: Check it out. They are called Texxxas Nights on the corner of Wurzbach Rd. & Evers.

[thcbuz]

thanks for the tip 420SATX.always nice to know where to go when your outta yer own zone, ya know?

[JD1stTimer]

I was at the mall yesterday and the Oddisee Shop is closed... :( There could be something cool coming there though, because the windows had black plastic with Indian headdresses on display stands... or maybe just a tobacconist...

I liked the oddisee shop because it was very clean and friendly, and for the longest time I just thought they sold posters and bumper stickers and incense... I even walked in and didn't notice the pipes. But then a friend took me to get my first piece... (I love you Blue!) And I was like "I didn't know this was a HEAD SHOP!!!" And everyone started freaking out, I think the parents and kids in the playground heard it, lol.

[JD1stTimer]

^^^ stoble I was just at that headshop. It's called Easy's Smoke Shop. They are HUGE!!! Full selection of PHIRE, whip-its, salvia, scales, loads and loads of glass. Prices seemed decent for the scales, they range between $35 and $45 on the lower end (MyWeigh axe etc.) Does anyone know what prices should be paid for scales? I have just been comparing to some different websites since they are few and far between in the brick-and-mortar world.

[JD1stTimer]

I just went to the one in McKinney by Target. It's called Smokin' Glassworks. They had a decent selection, one odd thing though, you have to show the guy an ID to go through a leather curtain to see the pipes... reminded me of a strip club or something. lol. They have a myspace under the name smokin_glassworks telling their sales and specials.

[ech]

Smokin Glassworks is my favorite store in the DFW. I'm a glass blower I sell them alot of work. Here is a piece that I sold recently. Its sold so its not for sale.

[JD1stTimer]

That looks very sweet, ech! +rep! BTW, do you ever do demonstrations of your work? I'd love to watch the process unfold! (Something I'd really like to do is learn lampworking, I just have to scrimp and save every penny right now to pay the bills though, lol) BTW, where Oddisee Shop used to be in Golden Triangle Mall, I was there earlier today and they had the curtains cracked open a bit. It was Indian Crafts. The sign said "Pottery, Kachina Dolls, Warbonnets and more... Straight from the Reservation to you!" It looked corny as all getout. Is Indian the PC term now? Cause that's the word they used...

[The Kidd]

Dont know if anyone has said this but san antonio has a few plantet k their not to bad just dont say anything bout gettin high or theyll boot your ass better to drive to san marcos on lbj street down by the college there are a few there but the high times store is the best theyll give you some good deals if your cool with em sorry i dont have no address just google them:stoned:

[thathippiekid]

I live in San Marcos, High Times is cool, there's also Puffin Pauls and the Cracker Box on Sessum. We just got a Planet K here too.

[The Kidd]

hey hippiekid have you been to the planet k yet someone told me it was very small

[xjmt3]

There is The Music Box in Amarillo.

Its on 10th and Madison Downtown.

[thathippiekid]

damn, took me a long time to get back to this thread. Yeah, the planet K is pretty tiny, not too big of a glass selection. Gots all the other cool headshop shit though... I think they are supposed to be building one here.

[iworshiplemons]

Shockwave in Tyler on 31 is pretty cool, too.

[thcbuz]

bump,I know theres some new places around.post'em up gang

[flyingimam]

i have not been into a head shop in ages!!!

[deberry]

The glass dragon Longview

[jkalb42]

i dont know if anyone is still looking lol, but Smoken' Joes on south texas in college station.

[basilfawlty]

A few weeks ago I did a google search on head shops, and got a hit from here. I went to the place in Plano on 75 that has that funky peace sign incorporated into its logo. Man, what a selection of stuff crammeed into that shop. Anyway, I bought a really nice medium size glass bong, lots of innovative features built into it, they have come a long way since I last had a glass (or plastic) bong. I also bought a special carrying case for it, padded, in case i drop it. I like that store, beats driving to the old Gas Pipe when I live in Plano just a few miles away. Is it me, or have the number of head shops incresed?

--Basil Fawlty

[rarawhidekid]

do any of the shops in longview sell salvia. i live in shreveport and you cant get it over here. just curious what the closest place was

[thcbuz]

got some nice silver charms at the music box in ammarillo,they were short on smoking gear while we visited;it was on 4/20 and they were about sold out.moderne primatives in longview has moved from high street to up on hwy80 just west of high a block or 3 on the left

[trippingreen]

Hey I've got a guy who's underage, and he wanted to know if that "Rock N Roll" place sells to minors? I wouldn't know since I've never been there, and It would be really sketchy to go in there to ask "Hey do ya'll sell to minors?" and walk out since I don't need a new piece.

[Zompton]

Give me a job in Austin!
