The government's war on drugs have failed so they're going after the glass? really? So if someone starts smoking stuff out of an apple, there goes my apple too!

This is so ridiculous, I don't even know if I'm in reality or posting this in my dream. Banning glass pipes is completely unconstitutional.

Regardless if you're a Floridian or not, please help this cause by simply posting your information on Change.org. This will kill 1000s of jobs in Florida and 100s of smoke shops throughout the state. This is not the American freedom anymore. We must stand up and fight back the Florida House Bill 49 - also known as the "Bong Ban".

Please visit THIS LINK to sign the petition. Let's repeal Florida House Bill 49 and save the smoke shops and glassblowers.

SmokeTalk is launching a public forum for the smoke shop industry along with a private forum for the smoke shop owners, manufacturers, distributors, and industry leaders. This will be a free service offered to bring everyone together on issues such as law enforcement and general discussion.

The SmokeTalk forum will also be a great place just to hang out and discuss off topic matters. We have added a "Forum" link in the menu or you can visit SmokeTalk.net/Forum.

Smoker's Paradise in Knoxville is having a grand opening on 4/20/13 and nearby church has a problem with it... Go Figure! As usual, the church folks thinks a smoke shop brings crime to the community and owners of Smoker's Paradise deny it. Owners claim that their store will not tolerate any misused words that refer to any drug related uses.

Basically the state of Utah is tired of waiting for the FDA to do something about this, so they figured, "Hey, let's just start taxing shit that people use everyday". How do you put a tobacco tax on a product that doesn't contain any tobacco? Read the story below.

SALT LAKE CITY — A proposal in the Utah Legislature that would tax electronic cigarettes at the same rate as regular cigarettes has put the state at the forefront of a national movement to regulate the increasingly popular devices.

More than 35 proposals calling for some type of regulation of electronic cigarettes have been introduced this year in legislatures across the country, but Utah seems to be the only state currently proposing that they be taxed like regular tobacco, said Karmen Hanson, a tobacco policy analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures. Hanson is unaware of any state with a law like this on the books.

Often called "e-cigarettes," the battery-powered devices heat a liquid nicotine solution and create vapor that users inhale. Their popularity has spiked in recent years.

First marketed overseas in 2002, e-cigarettes first became widely available in U.S. in 2006. There are several million users worldwide today, up from a few thousand in 2006. Analysts estimate sales could double to $1 billion in 2013.

This is crazy, trying to ban bongs and pipes from retail sales? Legislators claim that if Floridians can go to Alabama and Georgia to buy fireworks, why can't they go there to buy pipes too? A state wide ban on water pipes means millions of dollars wiped out from tax revenue. Not to mention all the head shops who rely on these products to make a living. I guess pipes will be sold as flower holders eh?

Kratom, or mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical tree native primarily to Thailand and Malaysia.  For centuries the leaves of the Kratom tree have been carefully cultivated for a myriad of uses, because some kratom effects have been found to have supposed benefits in the practice of herbal medicine.  The leaves can be chewed, smoked, or made into a tea.  Capsules containing the extract of Kratom are easily bought online, sometimes erroneously or fraudulently sold under the misnomer kratom.

The scum of all smoke shops. Renos Greenest Headshop was busted for selling bathsalts and herbal incense, and now the owner's brother is in jail for it. When offered help, Renos greenest headshop refused for help and asked for $5k just for chatting with them. Smokeshops such as Renos greenest headshop should put a lock on their door and go out for business for good to prevent a bad name for smoke shops everywhere. They then preceded with racist comments and threatened us to shut down our website. Good Luck to Renos Greenest Headshop!
