By talking about illegal substance use within 'earshot' of the cameras you put the shop at risk.

If the shop is robbed or broken into, which happens frequently at shops selling drug paraphenalia, the tapes will be reviewed for information on the break-in. If, during that review, it becomes clear that the shop is allowing talk of illegal drug use on its premises, now the shop is in trouble, even worse than taking a loss due to a robbery.

If you like the shop and respect its staff, do them a favor and make sure you're only talking about tobacco, 'legal herbal highs', etc, and not weed.
stinkyattic Reviewed by stinkyattic on . just a concern about my local headshop. I have purchased a few things off and on, and the last time I was in there. The owners son and were talking and i started talking about weed. He quickly said, "Talk very softly, our cameras have mics" he said the cops review the tapes now and then in events of "problems".. we were the only 2 in the shop, so i know it wasn't because he was worried a customer would hear us.. If that is true WTF, dunno but be careful what you say or ask for in your local head shop! Rating: 5
