My wife and I recently stopped into Rhode Island Reef, a small dispensary and head shop tucked away with a surprisingly charming setup. The shop itself is clean, well-decorated, and has a unique selection of vintage lighters, glass pipes, and seashell-shaped glass bowls that really give it some personality. It's a cool little spot for those looking for cannabis products and classic smoker accessories in Rhode Island. The customer service was friendly, but not exactly informed. The gentleman working was clearly under the influence, which impacted the overall shopping experience. We were interested in some of the vintage Zippo-style lighters, but he insisted they were butane lighters — even though they were clearly fluid-based. My wife still purchased a brass Zippo-style lighter for $55, thinking it was a rare find. After looking for fuel and extra wicks for the lighter, we unfortunately found the exact same lighter online for less, which was a bit of a letdown. In short, Rhode Island Reef is visually appealing and worth browsing if you're in the area, and definitely try the liquid THC they have!!

Nishan created a fun space full of 420 friendly items. You can get some great CBD products plus a few other varieties of smokables. He's got some custom graphic sweatshirts inspired by the area that are pretty sweet too. Check it out! You won't be disappointed.

Guy inside said they only had one joint for sale that was a 1g pre roll hybrid. I’m not understanding that value this store provides if they are only selling 1 product. Maybe I walked in on the wrong day? But it was empty for a 2pm Saturday. Idk. Guy seemed unwelcoming and didn’t want to say anything unless I asked a bunch of questions
Smoking indoors? The right air purifier eliminates smoke and odor in minutes.
