I am a writer for a nationally syndicated magazine. I am researching an article on marijuana. The sign said ?Up in Smoke? so I went in. The first thing I noticed was the South Carolina Department of Revenue license clearly displayed on the wall. The place is small but very comfortable. I have been in many head shops across the country and this one of the nicest I?ve been in. The counter showcase is evenly divided between piercing jewelry and smoking accessories. I felt very comfortable even though I am 70 and the other customers were in their 20?s and 30?s. I was greeted by a middle aged lady with a smile and a soft demeanor. I asked to look at several items in the showcase. The quality was superior to those I had seen elsewhere. After I disclosed my mission as a writer I met Todd. He was busy putting piercing jewelry on display but stopped to talk with me. We discussed the politics, laws and issues on marijuana. He was one of the most educated and knowledgeable people on the subject of cannabis I have met. As I left he was quietly speaking to a client about piercing. Although I?m not into piercing, this is a place I would recommend because it?s cleanliness and Todd?s knowledge, professionalism and peaceful demeanor?and if you?re looking for a gift for a smoker friend, this is where you will find the quality stuff.
