And we still don't sell K2, Spice, etc. BECAUSE

Wow, the sad stories about the synthetic cannabinoid drug-laced "incense" keep coming. We've met:
  • The Fort Myers mom whose middle-schooler got hooked and is going sideways,
  • The lady concerned that her new joint pain is somehow related,
  • The guy who was told it was all-natural, got addicted, and ended up spending over $100 a day,
  • The couple worried about losing a job because the boss smokes the stuff all day and his personality / behavior are changing,
  • The guy who got locked up and was seriously FIENDING for his daily fix...
And there are researchers now suggesting this family of drugs suppresses the human immune system, stays in your system much longer than other smoke toxins, and one or more metabolites are likely to be carcinogenic.

Please people, do your research about what you put in your body FIRST. While some people notice no ill effects, some definitely do. This is NOT a harmless substance... and for those shop owners selling it anyway "because it says not to consume it so they're stupid if they do not my fault"... Karma, baby. More info in the following post.

On the bright side, Purple Ringer Smoke Shop still sells the same LEGAL HERBAL ALTERNATIVE SMOKES that we've sold for the past 10 years. Mostly from International Oddities, these are blends of traditional plants that many of our customers find helpful to relax at the end of the day. We make it easy for you to try these no-nicotine, non-chemical plant smokes with affordable "sample size" bags. While not everyone likes it, many do and a sample size is the perfect way to find out.

We've also bagged some sample sizes of the cigarette rolling tobacco and pipe tobacco, including the Organic Kentucky Select so you can check them out. Did you know you can make your own cigarettes for less than $20 a carton?? Come on in we'll show you how!

Oh yah, and a bunch of Pink Floyd Tshirts, Grateful Dead Tshirts, and Bob Marley Tshirts are going on sale this week. Also new Bob Marley Beach Towels in stock. Sage bundles - white sage and desert sage, large and small for smudging - are here!
