Let’s get real:
If your smoke shop is still banking on disposables, Delta products, and cones to carry the weight — you’re already behind. The laws are changing. Margins are shrinking. And customers are evolving.
What do you do?
You get smarter. You diversify.
You stock products that spark curiosity, bring in new foot traffic, and create repeat buyers outside the traditional “stoner” lane.
Here are 25 offbeat, unexpected, and revenue-driving products to breathe life into your store — and they’re all already selling somewhere else. The question is: Why not yours?
1. Blue Lotus Products
Legal. Herbal. Euphoric. You can sell it as a tea, an extract, or a pre-roll. Customers looking for a legal high without THC love this ancient Egyptian flower.
2. Kava Shots & Drinks
Gives a calm body buzz without the weed. Popular with sober-curious customers and legal in most states. Keep these by the register for impulse sales.
3. Kratom Gummies & Beverages
Still legal in many areas. Sold in shots, capsules, or chews. High-margin, high-loyalty, and a strong repeat buyer category — if you handle it responsibly.
4. Exotic Snacks & Import Drinks
From Japanese KitKats to Korean Lay’s chips — these bring in the TikTok crowd and snack lovers. Curiosity + munchies = foot traffic.
5. Mushroom-Infused Coffee & Gummies
No, not those mushrooms. We’re talking Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps. Legal, brain-boosting, and hot in the functional wellness market.
6. Herbal Smoking Blends
Botanical mixes (like lavender, mullein, rose) offer a tobacco- and THC-free smoke. Perfect for people trying to quit or experiment.
7. CBD Skincare & Bath Bombs
You want more women in your shop? Carry what they actually buy — body butter, lip balm, and CBD bath bombs. Period.
8. Incense, Resins, and Palo Santo
Low cost, high ROI. These cater to the spiritual, aesthetic, and “vibe” crowd. Think smoke meets self-care.
9. Rechargeable Plasma Lighters
They’re windproof, flameless, and they look like a lightsaber. Impulse-buy gold.
10. Custom Glass or Live Artist Drops
Bring in a local glassblower. Showcase one-of-a-kind pieces. Make your store feel like a gallery. People come to see, then they buy.
11. Vape Battery Skins & Wraps
Let people customize their 510s. Stickers, sleeves, skins — $3 in cost can turn into a $15 sale when bundled with a battery.
12. Microdose Gummies (THCv, CBC, CBN)
Different cannabinoids. Different effects. Appetite control. Sleep. Mood. This category is growing fast — get in early.
13. Detox Kits & THC Test Pens
For the customer who partied Friday and has a job interview Monday. THC test pens and detox kits sell like crazy when positioned right.
14. LED Rolling Trays
Trays that light up and pulse to music. They’re over-the-top — and customers love them. Instagram-worthy, giftable, and profitable.
15. Funny Ashtrays
Ashtrays shaped like butts. Ashtrays with vulgar slogans. If it makes someone laugh, it’ll sell.
16. Retro Tobacco Tins
Reproduction tins from the Prohibition era. Stylish, giftable, and great as stash boxes.
17. Smell-Proof Bags & Lockboxes
Discreet, stylish, and lockable. These are must-haves for students, parents, and travelers.
18. Decorative Glass Sculptures
Not all glass needs to be functional. Sell art pieces — mushrooms, dragons, eyeballs. It levels up your store aesthetic.
19. Nootropic Drinks & Focus Shots
Market these as performance enhancers for students and gamers. Alpha Brain, mushroom blends, and energy nootropics = upsell city.
20. Psychedelic Apparel & Pins
Clothing and enamel pins with trippy art, mushrooms, zodiac signs, and more. Easy to stock. Easy to sell.
21. UV Posters & Blacklight Displays
They never went out of style. Set up a UV demo wall and let customers test them. Boom — sales go up.
22. Mushroom Grow Kits
Lion’s Mane and herb grow kits are legal, educational, and fun. Put them by the register or bundle with other wellness products.
23. Crystal Pipes & Zodiac Grinders
Rose quartz pipes. Astrology-themed trays. These hit the spiritual crowd and make killer gifts.
24. Sublingual Sprays & Tinctures
For customers who don’t want to vape, eat, or roll. Offer discreet, fast-acting options with real effects.
25. Coffee Table Books & Zines
Rolling guides, stoner art, mushroom education, cannabis history — these elevate your shop’s vibe and bring in browsers who convert.
Final Word
This isn’t about throwing random products at a wall. This is about strategy. About staying ahead.
If your store looks like every other shop in town, then what makes you special?
These products give you an edge. They build loyalty. They bring in people who don’t just buy vapes and leave — they browse. They talk. They come back.
Stock smart. Promote loud. And evolve or get left behind.
