    How things change.

    Most kids nowadays have never heard of a head shop. I remember back when head shops were quite common. sadly they died out over the Reagan/Bush era. The head shop was a great thing. really sad so many good things are gone.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Remember those days, too.

    Oddly, I've driven through downtown Denver numerous times lately and see a lot of "get your marijuana here" signs on storefronts. All medical, of course (wink, wink). It's just a little odd to see it all in the open like that.

    It's not that they died out during the Reagan/Bush years.
    It's more that the name "Head Shop" was redefined during
    the Clinton years.:rofl::rofl:

    There's a tiny strip mall in Spring Valley, about 2 miles from the Islets, that's made up entirely of a motorcycle parts store, a bar, a tattoo parlor and a medical marijuana outlet. Talk about your one-stop shopping destinations...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    All they need now is a Walmart Stupidcenter to complete the strip mall xD
    Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.

    My XYL just pointed out that I forgot to mention that there's a head shop in that mall along with the other stores.
