A list of all the District head shops was the number one answer supplied by the hypno-vamp-snake-men of Saturn I surveyed as to making the site more useful to you. Oh, sure, it might have been easier to ask you, instead, but I didn't want to be a bother! Don't worry, I had my bestest robot pal Fritz handle the waterboarding interviews, so I would not fall under the compulsion to fill your brains with their fiendish psychic larvae. Unless I have, and they brainwashed me into thinking Fritz talked to them, instead of me? Would I know, for sure? Would you, until you felt the hatchling's razor sharp fangs pierce your spinal cord with an unbearable pain, like being forcibly born in reverse all in a split-second, and you succumbed to the will of the Ouroboros, their ageless serpent cult from across the stars, with nary a whimper as you surrender your very humanity?
Can you guys tell I'm excited for Halloween? Squee!

Capitol Hemp gets top billing because the co-owner, Adam Eidinger, led the charge for Initiative 71 to pass and continues to fight for the rights and lives of cannabis patients and enthusiasts along with DCMJ. You might have heard me mention him once or twice. If you're enjoying the legal status of cannabis in the District right now, supporting Capitol Hemp is an excellent way to show it. It's a great shop in the heart of Adams Morgan. They also have a Bong Butler service where they clean your dirty glass for you. I've tried it and while you have to wait a few days, they restored my pipes to brand new condition for a reasonable fee. So buy a new piece while you wait for the old ones to get clean!

Funky Piece, run by DMV locals and cousins, Mark and Matt Bebawy, has expanded beyond their online head shop into an airy, brightly-lit space just past U St on 18th, intent on becoming an instant fixture in local cannabis community. I had the opportunity to check out the snazzy new digs this week and they've got a range of high-quality, reasonably-priced glass along with some interesting pieces for you headies out there. Check out their blog for their reviews on the latest smoking equipment. Have a grow question? Matt also works as a cannabis grow consultant (you can find him on IG @funkyfarmacy). They've supported the GT blog since the beginning and I'm happy to give them a shout out here! Check out my interview with the guys.The FogDen by Myster: 4807 Georgia Ave NW, Washington DC 20011

Myster aims to deliver high-end cannabis smoking, vaping, and dabbing essentials to the discerning consumer. They host grow classes at their shop in Petworth courtesy of DC Scroger, give away their own genetics (Mumbo Sauce and Crystal City Metro thus far), and are fighting back in court against Maryland closing their Bethesda shop over sales of CBD oil, despite facing felony charges for boldly bringing medicine to suffering patients. You don't get high off of CBD oil, folks, but you can make sick people better, something Maryland's medical program has yet to do more than 900 days after passing into law. Davis Kiyo and his crew definitely deserve your support.
It's 1 in the morning and your wax pen is broke. Or you need some jay papers. And some ice cream. Oooh, and a frozen pizza! And some wine. And, the hell with it, some mangoes, too. And a new vaporizer!
GoPuff, like Marvin Gaye, delivers it all, baby, all night long. The app is handy and they have an ever-growing list of munchies, groceries, and sundries they deliver in addition to smoking accessories 24/7. No glass, though.

Err...I would definitely call before you go based on the Google reviews from 2 weeks and 1 month ago that the shop was closed.

A slick, upscale vape shop, BVC also features their own brand of concentrate pen and, when I stopped in, were close to releasing their own dry herb pen. After our conversation, I knew these guys had identified the problems with both types of pens that I've faced, personally (that is, concentrate pens leaking, spilling oil into the battery and ruining them, and portable flower vapes mostly sucking). I can't wait to try both!

I like this classy, cozy shop stocked with top quality glass tucked away in Old Town, Alexandria. I've bought a reasonably priced wax pen, there, too, so they've got accoutrements at a range of price points.

These guys were related to Capitol Hemp's previous incarnation somehow, according to their About Us page, and they don't elaborate. Interesting...I see some Phone Homie jay papers on their page, too.
