head shop

Bong store, essentially

A head shop is a retail store selling paraphernalia associated with cannabis and other drug use—pipes, bongs, rolling papers, scales, and similar items.

The shops typically operate in a legal gray area by marketing products as intended for tobacco use.

The name comes from "head" as 1960s slang for a drug user.

There's a head shop on the corner that sells incense and glass pipes.
