The Bench Shop 1959-2026 There once was a time, believe it or not, When it was illegal to grow or sell pot. Folks went underground but these shops did pop up. And they sold all the things you'd need to smoke up. FOR TOBACCO ONLY (signs were displayed) Lest anyone think they weren't being played. Pieces of glass and of clay and of wood, (those flipped in two and were really quite good) And Tie-dyes and gemstones and Costumes oh my!
