Talk:Head shop/Archives/2015

Definition

Quote: A head shop is a retail outlet specializing in tobacco paraphernalia used for consumption of tobacco, legal highs, legal party powders and New Age herbs, as well as counterculture art, magazines, music, clothing, and home decor; some head shops also sell oddities, such as antique walking sticks and sex toys.

Sorry, but that's entirely off point (and I have no idea what a "legal party powder" is). Here's Merriam Webster's much more concise definition: a shop specializing in articles (as hashish pipes and roach clips) of interest to drug users (1966).

I think this needs to be changed. Maikel (talk) 08:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

I (choosing to remain anonymous despite having an account) wholeheartedly agree. Despite being someone who has smoked marijuana in the past and who supports legalization and the operation of these shops I feel like dancing around the subject of what the vast majority of their customers use their product for is deceptive and puerile. Were I not afraid of an edit war from paranoid head shop owners I would fix it myself. Excuse my bluntness but seeing this sort of thing on Wikipedia gets under my skin.98.213.119.182 (talk) 14:48, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Likewise agreed; this is simply a bad and rather stupid definition. "Legal party powders" indeed, especially given that the article neither mentions such things nor links to whatever a "legal party powder" might be. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
