In England you aint gotta be any age. I got a bong when i was 14.
No one cares here, probably cos it's tolerated.

lol when i was like 13 i remember me and my friends went in a headshop into the back where it said 18+ only and we were checkin out the crazy ass bongs and bubs and shit. then the guy said i like how you have the guts to come in here but ima hafta make you leave. then we tried a bunch of other headshops :p
they can get away with doing that because if its a kid sent in by the pigs there not allowed to lie about thier age, so it stops them from getting bustedQuote:

If you are worried about getting carded just talk to the guy at the desk for a bit, show him that your cool. The first time I bought there I talked with the guy for like 30 minutes about salvia and roors and just random shit for like 30 minutes before I eventually bought the bong I was looking for.
But after I bought it he gave me like 5 books of "magic" matches. They give me 10% off on every purchase when I buy there, but I also think it's like, "alright, you have the matches, you've been here before, you don't need id."
Headshops are the coolest stores in the world, I go in there all the time and look at their huge 3 and 4 foot bongs and shit like that all the time.
Shop near me says 16 and over however ive never seen anyone get ID'd.
Im 17 and still never been asked for ID.
Its just unlucky, fake ID maybe ?
true that :)Quote:

But here in Vancouver now, high school kids go in and out all the time. They can look, but you need to be 18yrs or older to buy.
The high school kids here are much different though. They're not so, needy or are bothering you to find "stuff" for them. They're all pretty mature, probably because weed is everywhere here, and they're not being a bother to other people. It's pretty chill and I don't mind window shopping and bullshitting with them while I look around. They don't whisper to me, "hey man, you know where to get this and that" like back home.
you DO have to be 18 to legally enter the shop, but most shops won't id you at the door or anything, as long as you look like you're of age. of course, if you tried to buy anything they'd card you.
also, be careful what you say inside a headshop, the ones i've been to have signs saying that they will ask anyone to leave if they talk about anything other than tobacco, for obvious reasons.
and one last tip, remember, its a water pipe, not a bong
