yeah, well Im 35 and still get carded for booze, cause of that dumb thing where if you don't look at least 75 they gotta card you.
How old do you have to be to go to/buy stuff at the head shops now?
I remember being about 16/17 and going to one. They let us buy stuff.
I haven't been in a headshop in 35 years,,,LoLzzz... Seems like you asked dumb questions what kind of answer did you expect???
yeah you gotta learn the lingo when youre in those places. they dont take lightly to that kind of thing.
I have a limited vocabulary in headshops which consists of phrases like "that one" or "how much?" Because I avoid buying unfamiliar equipment (like unique bongs that seem complicated), it's always friendly and quick for me when I visit my local headshop. One time I had the clerk sell me some weed, of course it wasn't at his shop, we met him later. Good stuff, too, now that I recall. That along with the killer deal on pipes, bongs, hoses and hookahs, made for one unforgettable headshop endeavor.
The age is eighteen at every place I've been. Since everything in the stores are tools for smoking tobacco, they figured you must be able to legally smoke tobacco to purchase anything.Quote:

alot of headshops will kick you out and give you a bitchy attitude for that type for shit... they can get shut down like that....
my headshop however, doesn't give a shit... we've had conversations about weed o.0
I had one the other day.
Pshh, I walk in there with my mother so that she can get some screens and a small scale. I'm holding her money, because I had a purse that day and she didn't. The guy behind the counter bitched at us, telling her she needs to carry her own money next time, and that I can't even LOOK at anything without showing him the proper ID first. Sorry, I'll just close my eyes then, eh?
It was like- Dude. Chill, alright?
It just surprised me because we constantly go to that headshop for their laidback attitude. My dad took my younger brother and me in there once and they didn't give us shit, not even as we're browsing the shirts (which are all consisted of things like "stoner chicks rule" and jokes about weed), blunt wraps, and drug testing things. I mean...this is the store that's got marijuana leaf garlands hanging from all the doors.
It just surprised me.
And it made sure the they weren't getting OUR business anytime soon.
It's all about finding the right store, with the right clerks, because the next one we went to was family owned, and they even had their 4 or 5 year old daughter with them behind the counter. They didn't ask for my ID just because I was pointing things out to my mother, and were always pleasant. They even gave us 15% percent off, and threw in a couple lighters.
It sucks, I know, to have some bitchy clerk acting as if you're a terrible person just for using 'bong' (though...nowhere have I ever heard that bong ONLY applies to marijuana, so I always laugh when they say 'waterpipe'). Just find a more laidback place, or get to know which clerks to avoid at the one you currently go to.
duuuuuuuuuuuuude they are like that because they dont want to get closed down because of you...........at least where im from its just common knowledge not to call it a bong in the headshop always called a water pipe
wtf closed down my ass for saying bong i meen no offence they cant get closed down maybe complained about a little bit yes... maybe questioned and looked at and may become hot there but they cant close down if somebody comes in there beyond there control and uses the word bong
