What Is a Head Shop? 0
This is a fair question — you might know that a head shop is a place where you can buy glass pipes, bongs, and other accessories you’d typically use to smoke flower, but what is a head shop, exactly?

History of Phil Jergenson: Creator of the Original Proto Pipe and Mendo Pipe 0
If you’ve been smoking with hand pipes for awhile now, you may have come across a couple of unique designs created by legendary pipe maker Phil Jergenson.
