Peace of Mind Smoke Shop

Peace of Mind Smoke Shop sits right on Central Avenue in downtown St. Petersburg, and it's earned a solid reputation among folks who shop here. Ask anyone who's stopped in and they'll point you first to the glass. The pipes and water pipes get a lot of love from regulars, and the staff know their stuff well enough to walk you through the differences without any rush. The selection runs deep for a shop this size.

You'll find vapes and disposables, e-liquid and vape juice, hookah and shisha, rolling papers, tobacco pipes, and a wall of smoking accessories. They also carry CBD and hemp products along with kratom. People who come in for incense keep coming back too, and the shop has a warm, home-like feel with cool art on the walls that regulars appreciate. The staff are the heart of this place. Lexi gets named more than once for helping people find exactly what they came in for, and the word around town is that whoever's working takes the time to answer questions and share real knowledge.

One person who stopped through on a visit to St. Pete called it a definite stop on the trip, noting how quickly and warmly they were helped. That kind of hospitality is the reason people recommend it to friends. Now, we'll be honest: with as many head shops as St. Pete has, a few locals feel the prices on glass and vapes run a little high compared to what you'll find elsewhere.

Plenty of others say the prices are right in line and the variety more than makes up for it, so it comes down to what you're after. Either way, the friendly service is consistent. They stay open late, which makes this a handy spot in downtown St. Petersburg when you need to grab something after other shops have closed.
