The birth of the head shop arguably began with the legendary Psychedelic Shop in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, which&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/haightashburyarchives.org\/haight-ashbury-neighborhood\/people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Thelin brothers opened<\/a>&nbsp;on January 3, 1966.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, these shops have had close ties to many counterculture movements and served as important outlets for underground newspapers, comics, and other publications. Today, many head shops continue to carry books and magazines, records, posters, apparel, and incense, among other things that might enhance one's experience with cannabis and other substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The origins of the name \"head shop\" remain unclear. Some attribute the name to enthusiastic fans of the band Grateful Dead, who are called \u201cdead heads,\" while it was also rumored that the name came from an acronym for \u201che eats acid daily.\" Still others claim that the name was inspired by the song \u201cWhite Rabbit\" by Jefferson Airplane. The line \u201cfeed your head\" is repeated at the song's closing as a challenge to the listener to expand their mind, and head shops became a way to help clientele feed their heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most agree that the name has its ties to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.etymonline.com\/word\/head#etymonline_v_41545\">first association<\/a>&nbsp;of the word head with someone who used a substance to excess, which dates back to the early 20th century. By the 1960s, \u201cpotheads\" and \u201cacid heads\" had become popular slang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the 1970s, head shops proliferated across the country with an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/17541328.2015.1058480?journalCode=rsix20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">estimated 30,000 shops nationwide<\/a>&nbsp;by the end of the decade. As their popularity and commercial success grew, many shops de-emphasized radical politics and counterculture movements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, as efforts to legalize cannabis, psilocybin, and other drugs continue to succeed across the country, the role and importance of head shops are on an upswing. There are an increasing number of online head shops opening alongside traditional brick and mortar stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A head shop is a retail store that sells merchandise related to cannabis, cannabis culture, and other relevant countercultures.
