I'm no expert, but "ingestion" is entirely the wrong word to use.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.233.132.57 (talk • contribs) 05:06, May 4, 2005 (UTC).
Head shop should definitely not be merged with the article on Smart Shop. Smart shops are stores(primarily in the Netherlands) that sell drugs whereas head shops sell drug paraphernalia under a legal guise.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.232.102.33 (talk • contribs) 02:50, July 7, 2006 (UTC).
The name "Head Shop" came from the stores owned by Jeffrey Glick in Greenwich Village in the mid 1960s
[edit] Origin of "headshop"
I'm curious as to where the name "head shop" came from? i understand what it is and how it started, but where did the name orginate from?
- According to my dubious source(rotten.com library), the term head shop originates from the hippie culture.
The term "head shop" communicates the idea of a store selling things which are "good for one's head" http://www.rotten.com/library/culture/bongs/
[edit] Limited geographic scope
The legality section of this article talks only about the situation in the United States. What about other countries? Do you have to call a bong in Germany a Wasserrohr? We will never know unless someone adds to it. --Arm 04:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
