It's the funniest thing when you go into a...

when you go into a headshop and then start talking with the sales person, and as soon as you mention weed, shawg, dirt, hydro, chronic, pot, ect ect ect, they get all quiet and say, no no no, these products are for tobacco. Funniest shit is that I bet NO ONE would ever put tabacco in a bong, or bubble, GLASS pipe, vaporizer, gravity bong ect ect ect... and they know you put weed in it. I even heard the guy say, after this one guy bought 2 blunt wraps, a glass piece and some strainers and something else that escapes my mind that, oh boy your going to have a great night tonight.... pffft, not off tabacco... anyone ever encounter this as well? Its kind of upsetting but in a way I see where they're coming from, its a legal issue but still, people that go in there to buy shit aren't cops so wtf, they can at least level with us a lil, not play us like some chumps :mad:

Some people take their jobs seriously, other don't.

well they have a buisness, and just one recorded convo showing they're selling them with the intent of involving illegal activity.... could get them more than just a fine.... it could actually get them shut down and even in jail.... and considering the govt. loves to charge such places with complete seperate accounts, even a single day's jail time could add up really quick, considering everything in the store....

i just try to watch my talk in there.. avoid anything 'incriminating' purely for there mindsake.... occasionally it will slip, but i try to be discrete... i know they smoke (hell one dude at our local headshop was talkign to my wife about which piss cleaner was best cuz it helped him pass his piss test somewhere else LOL) and i know they know i do...

but i just try to keep it discrete for them...

Better safe than sorry, its not like they can tell who is and isnt a cop. Cops dont have "cop" tattood on their forheads.

thats a good idea they should make cops get tattoed on their forheads\

^Now THATS something I wouldnt mind paying taxes for ;)

for sure

The headshops in my town don't act like that. Some even share techniques on how to use some of the products

A lot of the headshops in minneapolis will throw you out of the store if you start making references to using them for pot. They got a business to run, and a few of them have audio monitors set up by the Minneapolis PD, they can get in serious trouble, even lose thier shop for discussing illegal matters with you. So do them a favor, we all know it's funny and no one uses a "water pipe" for tobacco ever, but just go with it if you want your headshop to stick around.

Some of the shops around suck but some are cool and some of the people change when they get to know you. the first time i went into my now fav head shop i got kicked out.
now the guys that work there and the same guys that kicked me out are some of my best smokin buds :stoned:

Lol at my local headshop they admit it and I talk about them with it openly but whenever they get new staff there even though its so fucking obvious they smoke weed like the man would have rasta hair and you could tell by his face and stuff he wouldnt admit it LOL.

lol ahha in my city, the people at head shops, always talk about smoking weed. My bunch of friends went in there and as soon as wewalked in the door the guy at the counter yelled " You guys are buying blunts huh" hes really nice and we always buy are blunts there lol. he said " You guys must love the blunts.I only smoke weed or with 2 other people. by myself, i don't have a big group of friends to blaze with, so one blunt would blast me." We always have conversations about bud with him, and all the other employees that work there. Anyways its called " B.O.B.S Head shop"

well, all I'm saying is no one uses a bong for tabacco... anyone disprove my theory? and if there are mic's in the room, then thats a different story, isn't that illegal? unless they have their consent?

people actually smoke tobacco out of bongs.... It's nasty as fuck and ill never do it again but i have friends who do it all the time.... it's called taking a 'mocha snap' or 'mokesnap' where i'm from

You can't even mention the C word or any slang variation of it in the head shops by my campus. They will kick you out instantly. The cops are pretty strict about it...

What do they expect when the first thing you see on display are posters of 60's counter-culture icons and ashtrays taking form as marijuana leafs? The local headshops are layered with merchandise advocating the usage of mind-altering substances, case in point--marijuana. I don't get it. I can speak about marijuana in Wal-Mart but not inside a headshop?-OK! Eh, what the hell? Might as well laugh about it. You were a succession in creation, then why not should we have succession in our existence?

My friend got me a really cool chillum from the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis.


The difference between Walmart and a headshop is that Walmart generally doesn't sell things that could be used as drug paraphenilia, but a headshop does. Therefore Walmart isn't worried about getting busted for selling paraphenilia so it doesn't matter if you mention weed there. You'll just get a funny look from the cashier.

Yeah it's always like that, but it's not a big deal. personally i think its kind of funny to have that mutual understanding of whats really going on. They're usually sarcastic about talking about "tobacco" anyway, so just talk like you're supposed to, and everyone is happy.

ive spent like 800 dollars at the only headshop in town. the owner loves me gives me discounts sells me weed sometimes, and i can ALWAYS drop by her house and she smokes out with some cool glass.

i know what you mean but walmart sells apples, and basically has essential means to create your own smoking device. did we forget about the mcguiver smoker? you know what i'm talking about. :jointsmile: you do raise a good point though. why can't we discuss weed in a headshop? it doesn't matter why because headshops will inform you of their policies upon entry and it's up to the customer to respect the rules so that you can comeback another day.

Yeah, you can get kicked out of some for saying bowl, bong, rush hole, kif catcher, ect.

not only that but you're running the risk of getting your local headshop shutdown for good. just keep it on a low-level that you smoke weed and you wont have anything to worry about.

You do that shit here and you're kicked out forever.
Keep it up and watch. :)

bro why would u start talking about schwag OR hydro @ a headshop. if u understood how the law is with that kind of thing u might feel different. they are there to sell their product, not hook u up or incriminate themselves. i know you could be medical, i live in cali but that doesnt change the fact that marijuana is a schedule 1 drug, up there above cocaine and amphetamines. just my 2 c.

At my local growshop (closest one), after seeing the people that work there reasonably regularly they talk about it openly but when other customers come in they get served and the conversation stops if it was involving cannabis specifically. If you go in close to closing time, the whole shop reeks of powerplant really fucking strong!

Our headshop doesn't care. When we bought our first bong we were sort of keeping it on the low-low, but the guy behind the counter was asking us how fine we liked to bust up our weed. They also rent out a Volcano, and I asked if they were worried about trace elements on the plate or anything like that - apparently it hadn't even crossed their mind. Fuckin' stoners. :D

When I bought my bong, the dude working there told me he had the same one and that I should use it every day because it kicks ass. He was right, and I do :bonghit:
