yes, go to " Secrets" addy is 3229 N clark..773-755-0179.. the easy way to get there take clark till u get to belmont or lake shore drive to belmont , then go west till u get to clark make a right and you'll run right into it. Nice place to shop long as u remember not to use the "bong" word.. be sure to say "water pipe" and "smoking substance." go all the way to the back there are plenty sitting on the shelf. oh yea grab a coupon on the desk that wil save u 20%
Peace.
hahah,secrets is where i go.
i like pipes and stuff the older lady there always gives me sweet deals.
By Chance would, Secrets, have a necklace like device similiar to what was shown in the movie, "Cruel Intentions"? You know, that necklace that unscrewed revealing a secret place for a small snort stash of coke.
no they wouldn't
There is also Novelties N Stuff on Clark that is within viewing distance from Secrets. I haven't been in either one yet, I've only been there at night. Novelties n stuff seems to have a huge selection, and they're having a closeout sale on European glass.
I got this from secrets three days ago. :D

The bong sticker price was 245 but I was paying cash so he let it go for 200. The grinder stciker price 30 got it for 25. :D
Holy cow! That thing is enormous! How does it hit?
It's good looking too!
The grinder looks like chrome, I like it!
It hits great, especially with the ice catcher.
How does the ice catcher work?
Actually if you go down division to the flea market, I 4got what street it crosses with, but if you go to the army/navy surplus in the flea market, they have pipes, and other cool stuff for smoking, and its nicely priced....
Oh and the bong looks awesome, I have to go down to that head shop!
sorry but I have such a low attention span...
lol... :D
An ice catcher...catches ice. When you pour water down, you can add ice cubes, and they stay where the tube narrows. Makes the hit cooler and smoother.
Anybody every go to Adam's Apple on Califonia Ave. its far north like almost by Devon.. With the Tie Dyes in the window? The owners are cool but definate "pot heads"
I'm going to secrets on friday
do you gotta be 18 to get in, or just to purchase?
Hey I actually wound up going to a place called pipesandstuff.com, its right by belmont and clark as well, actually your right there if you take clark to belmont, theres also a place around the corner called noveltysandstuff.com, both have the same stuff, and they are really well priced, I bought a plastic bong for 30, a long one hitter for 7, and pipe screens at 10 for a dollar. I liked the place, and depending whose there, they are pretty cool about slang if there are younger people working, and well most of the people work in that district are high anyways...
but yeah at any head shop in chicago, I would suggest to use words like water pipe.
Oh yeah noveltiesandstuff.com sells salvia.
ive been to adams apple. my gf actually knows the owner through her boss. ive been hounding her to talk to him and see whats up. i figured he'd know aboutsome super kind. she keeps telling me no though! oh well. cool store though.
Adam's Apple is cool and if you catch them in a good mood they will give ya deals on certain crap.
I suppose if you look underage you will catch some lip from whoever is behind the counter, but ive never been asked for an ID. (Then again I prolly dont look to young)
In my experience you never want to say to much to them they seem real paranoid (typical potheads, lol). And the "B" (bong) word is a big NO NO in the store. I agree with Kryzco's comment on that one.
Yeah its all good I don't get carded much for anything, I looked about 3-4 years older than my actual age, always have, comes in handy sometimes
As I said in my previous thread, Smokey's on Devon near Loyola is the shizit
i duno bout chicago but if you are near DuPage area there is a store called iguana on lake street
they have a wde variety from one hitters to pipes to bongs and all of that
and i didntget carded anytime i went there
All the time.Quote:

"Should we get some pot while we're here?"
We all laughed, and said "no, grandma, we can't get that here"
"Oh? Why not?" she asked.
"Because it's illegal." my mom answered.
"Still? That's silly." she said.
Yes grandma. It is silly.
If you are looking for a killer smoke shop in the Chicago area look at SMOKE DREAMS on Wilson and Broadway. Great selection and amazing service!!!:thumbsup:
Hey I just moved out to the north suburbs and I'm having a little problem shopping around. If you live any where in the NW suburbs or in the city u should let me know something, because I have to make myself get pretty comfortable up here, and if you ever make you're way to Arizona I got you covered
does anyone know of any chicago or central IL headshops that sell spice gold or spice diamond?
