headshop

Pipe and paper

A headshop is a retail store selling paraphernalia associated with marijuana and other drugs—pipes, bongs, rolling papers, scales, and related items.

The shops typically maintain legal cover by marketing products as intended for tobacco use.

The name comes from "head," 1960s slang for a drug user: There's a headshop downtown that sells glass pipes.
