There are no head shops in my town. There are a bunch of smoke shops, and at least one that sells salvia extracts, but thats it. there are no ethnobotanical shops, not even any that sell 'legal highs.' I know that they exist, and Im wondering what theyre like. If you have a headshop in your area, as in one that sells salvia, san Pedro, kratom, MGs or HBWR etc, what is it like? Is it overtly about getting high, or do they sell plants as botanical specimens? Do they go for the shamanic entheogen angle, or the get high angle? How good of a selection do they have compared to online stores? Are they also smoke shops, or exclusively about legal plants? Do they get harassed by the law about things like ayahuasca, pedro or MGs? Im very curious how there seem to be so many online stores, presumably making enough to stay afloat, and yet no trace of them in my town, a very drug-happy locale. Of course, online stores have very little overhead, but still.
I don't think what you're referring to a head shop exists within the U.S. Perhaps in very select places, but around here it seems a head shop might be referred to as what you are calling a smoke shop. A smoke shop around here just sells tobacco and tobacco products. A head shop sells glassware and perhaps some salvia or something, but rarely will they offer any kind of drugs.
