Finding An Indianapolis Head Shop

By Paulette Short


If you're a smoker, you may find that it's becoming more and more difficult to buy the paraphernalia you need from regular outlets. So many people frown upon customers buying rolling papers or pipes that you may feel as if you're buying something illegal. In Indiana, the solution is to visit an Indianapolis head shop for all your smoking needs.

Head shops are outlets that sell smoking paraphernalia as well as other products for use with tobacco. Along with pipes and cigarette papers, they also sell items like cigarette filters, rolling machines and vaporizers or water pipes if you want that flavored tobacco to go down more smoothly. They sell other items too, from candles and incense to clothing and underground comics.

Smoke shops were all the rage in the late 1960s, when the counterculture was blooming. The store that started it all was established in 1966, in the famous hippie mecca of Haight Street in San Francisco. When the hippies became respectable citizens, many stores closed their doors but now they're becoming increasingly popular again, especially in states where medical marijuana is legal.

The early smoke shops often began as shops where you could buy candles and incense. This is why you'll still be able to find more than just smoking paraphernalia at a head shop. You'll be able to go here for interesting clothing and jewelry, novelty items, underground publications, comic books and art too, just like in the Sixties when these shops often gave artists and writers their first break.

While many people think of head shops as places where you can buy illegal drugs, this is a misconception. The items sold here are for use with legal substances like tobacco only. While they may be useful as drug paraphernalia, even mentioning this might get you expelled from the shop.

Marijuana is illegal in Indiana and the possession of it carries severe penalties. This means that unless you want to get into trouble with the law, you should use the paraphernalia you buy at your Indianapolis store only with tobacco, no matter how suitable they may be for use with marijuana too. It is possible though that the state may change its marijuana laws some time in the future.

Smoke shops in Indianapolis are great places to shop for unusual gifts too, even if you're not buying something for a smoker. For instance, it can be a nightmare to find a gift that an artistically-minded teenage relative will like but something like a unique T-shirt or a poster that responds to black light may be just the right choice. If young Jimmy or Jane finds out where you bought their birthday gift, you may even become the 'cool' family member in their eyes.

If you're looking for an Indianapolis head shop near you, the best is to go online to get addresses, details on stock and prices and customer reviews. There are stores in different areas of the city, for instance in Speedway. Most of the stores are located in bohemian Broad Ripple Village, an area north of downtown which is reminiscent of Greenwich Village in New York. This neighborhood is known for its bustling nightlife, ethnic diversity, artists and of course its proximity to Butler University.
