Ethnic Concepts

The uproar over Michael Phelps blazing from a glass bong has finally receded. A wise man named Smoky once declared, "Weed is from the Earf, man!" But that type of talk will get you ejected from ETHNIC CONCEPTS, as it's considered taboo to associate a three-foot, $400 blown-glass water pipe with reefer, so play by the rules. There are "for tobacco use only" water pipes in every conceivable shape for any budget, from acrylic pipes and one-hitter bats to the eye-popping glass-blown offer-ings that could double as a living room centerpiece. From pipe cleaners to incense to detox teas, Ethnic Concepts remains one of the better one-stop head shops in Rhode Island (remember those rides to Cloud Nine in Connecticut?). | 1207 Post Road, Warwick | 401.781.3054 | 335 Wickenden Street, Providence | 401.454.PIPE | ethnic-concepts.com
