The point of the second thread is so all the shops are listed in order(By state) in a clean thread, Thats not filled with tons of chatter, Thats why we need a submission thread and a final thread that will be sticked and locked and only unlocked to update the list.

The purpose of this thread is to have all members post their favorite headshop. Be sure to include the town/state/country. This way, members like me can check this thread to find out if theres a nice headshop at their destination. Or maybe theres a headshop close by that someone didn't know about. Either way, it could be a useful reference.

I'm sure there are websites devoted to this exact topic, but oh well.......



My favorites, in order are:

1. Sunshine Daydream: Guilford, Connecticut, USA 06437
2. Wasteland: Torrington, Connecticut, USA 06790
3. Vibrations: Enfield, Connecticut, USA 06082
4. Old Glory: North Haven, Connecticut 06471 (No pipes online)
5. Utopia: Norwalk, Connecticut, USA 06854 (EXPENSIVE!!!)

A classic that seems to get worse as days pass..... my first pipe was puchased at, Head to Toe in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA 06606.


Some others I've been to and enjoyed are (not in order):

1. Sugar Daddy's Smoke Shop: Boston, Mass, USA 02215 (EXPENSIVE!!!)
2. G Spot: Orlando, Florida. USA 32803
3. Freaky's: Denver, Colorado, USA 80212 (other locations in CO also)
4. Holy Smokes: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA 96826 (my personal favorite)
5. Off Ya Tree: Melbourne, Australia (There are a few shops, this one was on Swanson Street. I was brought there by a local so I have no clue how to get there, its full address, or anything like that. But I must say its one of the best I've ever been to. By far the best customer service.)

Damn dude. Loooooove Sunshine and Daydream and Utopia. Picked up a Lux at Utopia for 230 and a fat little bub at Sunshine for 30 bucks! You know where its at my friend.

I'm liking this idea

Well heres 4 shops I frequent:

Doughmain Smokeshop
Thousand Oaks, CA 91362
The owner Josh is a really cool guy. You can always haggle with them though its never nessesary. ie I got a $260 bong for $240 with a free bowl free case and some incense. Best shop in Thousand Oaks

Dementia
Thousand Oaks, CA 91362
The shop is whatever. Depending on when you go you could get great customer service or shitty. The girls that work there are super chill and the dudes couldn't give a fuck. No deals from them.

Capt. Ed's
Northridge, CA 91325
Hart and Reseda intersection
Great people there great glass, you can haggle though their deals are already average to pretty good.

The System
Northridge, CA 91325
Hart and Reseda intersection
The owner there is pretty cool but be wary of their downstems. I've had way to many of "their" downstems snap on me. They say made in china for a reason. They usually take off the tax and everything is great there besides the downstems

Mother Murphy's Normal, Illinois
It's downtown not far from the ISU campus. Pretty cool place.

Penny Lane Springfield, Illinois
Good selection, but seemed too pricey to me.

We have a few gas stations scattered all over Bloomington/Normal that sell some pretty cool glass. they don't have them on display, so you have to ask to see them.

The BP on the corner of Business 51 (Main st.) and Wood St. has quite a few nice glass pieces, and the prices are reasonable.

Ok, so how many of you who posted, or have been to a heaed shop, have seen '420' in the shops phone number??

That would be pretty cool to begin with. But check this out......


I am a scrub when it comes to clothes. I guess you'd say I dress like a classic hippie....I hate spending money on clothing. Except Seedless. I am a Seedless junkie.

So yesterday I was cruising their site, realizing (like fucking always) everything is out of stock. So I click on 'find a dealer' and it gave me 3 places in CT. 2 I've heard of, one of which being Sinshine Daydream (posted on this thread)..... and the other was something new....to me at least..... and everyone else who posted any in Connecticut.


Its called Hobie's and its in Milford, CT. I live in the next town over and I've been driving 35+ minutes to the sticks to go to Sunshine. It listed a number, 874-0420!!! Thats cool...... gotta be a sign. The first time I hear of a new shop close to my house, its number has 420 in it.

I was curious as to their exact location in Milford so I called the number. After all, I wasn't sure if it was a true headshop, or just a clothing store that sold un-shitty clothes.

So your friend and humble narrator called the number, he did. A woman answered and my first question was, "Are you guys a headshop?". To my delight, she said yes! "We have [a large selection] of tobbaco accesories..." Hooray! The happiness spread across my body like the sun warming the winter frost as it creeps around a roof.



I have yet to vist said shop. However when this pothead gets paid this weekend, he will surely stop by.

For those of you familiar with the ridiculousness of the Post Road in Milford through Orange.....here's where it is.... Across from the new plaza where Petco, Golf Galaxy, and Walmart went in, theres a Krispy Kream (spelling....oh well....horrible donuts don't need to be spelled correctly). Facing this Krispey Kream, to the right is a side street... It's either Red Bush Lane, Or Woodruff Rd. Regardless, off that street, behind and to the right of Krsipy Creme is a plaza...Probably Red Bush Plaza.... making the street most likely Red Bush Lane.... whatever. The store is in the plaza.
