Question: What is a Head Shop?
Answer: A head shop is a store that sells counter culture products generally associated with hippy culture and tobacco consumption. Head shops carry bongs (often called water pipes), glass pipes, rolling papers, scales, lighters, herb grinders, drug test products, vaporizers, incense, hemp clothing and bags, and psychedelic art. Most head shops in the United States operate in a legal gray area and charge highly inflated prices to compensate for the risk involved in operating. Online head shops are generally based in countries where selling such products is entirely legal which allows for much more reasonable prices on the same products.
Question: Where is the Best Place to Buy Bongs Online?
Answer: Headshops.org will only recommend an online head shop if our anonymous shoppers have purchased from it and had a pleasant experience. All of the head shops recommended by Headshops.org have excellent customer support, provide discrete shipping and generally will replace any products that arrive broken. Many of the questionable head shops on the web do not provide any customer support and lack any obvious methods of contact, ordering from these shops is a bad idea.
