I didn’t know there was such a place as this until Scott K. reviewed the laundromat just South of this. Alchemy(next to it) is visible from the street, but this is not so much. Signage here is not really legible until you’re in front of the place. With a name like this, it’s either going to be something zombie-related or Grateful Dead related and indeed, inside is at least as much shrine to that long defunct band as it is head shop. While I enjoyed wandering around and gazing at the incredible display of stuff(which also included KISS comics and really odd toys), my interest here, like at Wizards & Dreams, before that vanished, was in some really neat incense. Frankly, this place only does ok at that. The guy there was really friendly and I will say it’s unique. I can’t think of anywhere else quite like this. If you’re a Grateful Dead fan, then this place will mean a lot more to you. As I am not, the few minutes I spent in there with the overhead cranking out some of that music, was more than enough for me. I can’t imagine I’ll be back anytime soon. For those of you going, if you don’t bring cash, it will cost you $ 1 for the privilege of using your credit or debit card.

Dude, this shop is copacetic! The incense selection is far out and includes some really great smelling scents like Electric Lady, The Walrus, Cherry Garcia and Slow Train to name a few. They sell very unique items like hemp massage oil, throwback stickers, magnets, fresh sage bundles, as well as the expected stuff for your out of control«tobacco» habit. The dude who runs the shop is as chill as it gets and is incredibly knowledgeable about all of his products. He also has some really interesting life stories and is an all around cool cat if you talk to him! Shops like these make it really difficult to stay away from the devil’s lettuce. You won’t regret coming in.

Let me put it bluntly. This place sucks. I went in to ask a couple of questions about e cigs, with a particular type in mind. The guy got all upset because he didn’t know what I meant when I asked him about the different methods the e cigs use for oil and so on. He basically said he was filling in and didn’t know anything about the e cigs other than that he used one. Okay? So why sell them? Why work there if you don’t take your job seriously and why be such dick. You can bet my last dollar that I won’t be coming back here.

This place is groovy. The true star of the establishment is the ever-friendly deadhead who works behind the counter and is generally very amiable. Selection may not be the best, but they do have a lot of quirky and fun gifts that you might not find at other shops. They also have a pretty amazing incense selection and each stick is like $.10 which is not a bad deal. Do your part and support this local business, that is, if you need anything from a store like this WINKWINKHINTHINTTHEYARETOBACCOWATERPIPES

This is a really neat store that is worth making the trip for, no matter where you are coming from! They have an amazing collection of Grateful Dead memoribilia that can’t be found anywhere else locally. An huge selection of e-juice and some cool tie-dye merchandise. The REAL stuff– not some mass produced chain store print variety. The cool guy that worked there told me that the dudes who used to tie-dye stuff for Jerry Garcia did the stuff that is in there. Cool. I went there looking for gift items for my girlfriend and found some really funny and inexpensive magnets and a collectible stuffed Jerry bear. They close kind of early so make sure you go in the afternoon. Fun place– thanks Dead!

This place is a Dead Heads fairy tale! I loved all of the Dead/60s merchandise and I plan to go there again. They had cool little shot glasses with the lightning bolt, pipes, & all sorts of cool reasonably priced gifts.
