Humboldt’s OG Headshop
In 1971, ‘Joy to The World’ by Three Dog Night was topping the charts, Bob Marley and the Wailers released their ‘Best of” album, the “Race to Space” was in full swing and the first commercially available microprocessor was created. Locally, some of the world’s largest trees were growing in the lost coast and Pacific Paraphernalia was opened in Arcata.
As one of the oldest smoke shops in the state, we take pride in being “A Humboldt Tradition.” After more than 50 years, we’re still all about bringing the vibes of our region into the modern day. Now that we’re a licensed Humboldt cannabis dispensary, we’re supporting local growers by adding some of the best flower from Humboldt County and the Emerald Triangle to a wide selection of handblown pipes, bubblers, bongs, and other accessories. We also carry a good amount of budget glass too.
When you swing by Paradise, you’ll notice we’ve got a fresh look and updated fixtures, but we’ve kept all the cool artwork that shows off our history. What hasn’t changed is our welcoming vibe! We’re here to serve the best products to our amazing community. Whether you’re a longtime customer or just discovering what our beautiful Lost Coast has to offer, we’re excited to have you with us and share our passion for all things Humboldt!
