Head Shops vs Dispensaries


Medical marijuana is legal in the State of Mississippi and we will begin seeing patients soon! Make sure you reserve an appointment so you can get your medical card as soon as possible in order to access dispensaries!


You have probably heard of both dispensaries and head shops (or smoke shops), but do you know the difference between the two? In this blog, we will talk about what both of these establishments are and what you can purchase at each them.


What Is a Head Shop?

A head shop is the same thing as a smoke shop. Head shops have been increasing in popularity in recent years, especially because vaping has become so popular.


At head shops, a variety of items are available for purchase including:

  • Vape devices (nicotine products)

  • Lottery tickets

  • Cigarettes

  • Tobacco products

  • Water pipes

  • Incense

  • Dabbing rigs

…and so much more! The key difference between head shops and dispensaries is that you can purchase marijuana at dispensaries but not at head shops. You might find some of the same things at head shops and dispensaries, but cannabis will not be one of those things.


What Can I Buy at a Dispensary?

You can purchase your medicinal marijuana from dispensaries in the State of Mississippi. You will see cannabis in many different forms at your local dispensary, including:

  • Edibles

  • Tinctures

  • Flower

  • Topicals

  • Vapes

…and so much more! Mississippi luckily has legalized almost every form of marijuana for medicinal use, however, some types have THC potency caps.


The Bottom Line

You might see some similarities among the products for sale at dispensaries and head shops, but the most notable difference between the two is that cannabis will only be for sale from state licensed dispensaries.


You will be able to purchase things like pipes and bongs at both types of establishments, but head shops will have more of a selection most likely. Head shops also sell other items such as nicotine and tobacco products.
