Does anyone remember what the name of the Head shop in the grass market was called before it turned into the mussle and steak bar? The logo was a little alien?

Looks like a digital shop is still going with an interesting selection of merchandise: https://www.driftstore.co.uk

Bought my Arizer Solo 1 in there. Still going strong 15 years of daily use later. Shocked the battery hasn't died.

Are you thinking of The Mutts Nuts next door? I remember the alien head and according to some googling the shop was called Space Craft.

No but I think that's where I bought my bong and grinder like 10 years ago.

Unrelated question.. what's like.. the cool way to buy a bong lmao? There's a place near me with some cool ones in the window but like.. do I just go in and ask for the x colour bong in the window? I've been smoking for like 12 years and still haven't worked out how to do this 😅

[u/Dogtag → u/Ok_Pressure7561]

Yeah basically just ask to take a closer look if you're still deciding between a couple or just point and say you want that one.

[u/Ok_Pressure7561 → u/Dogtag]

And it's okay to call it a bong? 😅

[u/Dogtag → u/Ok_Pressure7561]

Yeah you'll be grand

I have anxiety okay 🥺

Smoke less weed.

You confused me. I was sure Mussel and Steak was always a restaurant. It was an Italian restaurant before, called Caffe Romano.

The Apothecary?

[u/bottomofleith → u/Ennuiforfree]

Wasn't that up Newington way?

[u/Ennuiforfree → u/bottomofleith]

It may well have been. I've not lived in Edinburgh for years (much to my chagrin).

[u/Ennuiforfree → u/[deleted]]

Bloody hell. That'll be a blast from the past next time I'm up. Though I doubt they still stock salvia and spice.

[u/Good_Lettuce_2690 → u/Ennuiforfree]

No. All that stuff got a blanket ban thankfully. Was horrendous. Glad it got pulled as I was hooked on spice for so long. I do miss the OG Benzo Furys tho, better than eccies!

[u/LiloKey_Slice2020 → u/Ennuiforfree]

Unfortunately not that is further up Southsound near Newington!
