Because they arnt illegal.
Salvia isnt illegal in most states. And, there are also legit-uses for alot of the smoking things they sell. Mind you, I'd venture a guess that 98% of their customer base is probably using that stuff for weed, you can use legal products in bongs/pipes/hookas/etc.
However, I just read a news article somewhere about some State trying to make head shops illegal for selling items which can be used for drug use.

The only headshop in my area that sells Salvia advertises it as an incense, not a hallucinogen. And the pipes are sold as tabacco pipes.

Because they will kick you out of the store, when you start talking about things against the law. The grow shops around here do the same.

Because US law is full of contradictions and enforcement is random.

Salvia is classified as a "ceremonial incense" and according to it's label it is not for human consumption. This is how it retains its legal status. Headshops sell drug paraphernalia because it is intended for use of tobacco products. Most headshops strictly prohibit any use of illegal language or language that is indicative of any other use than that of tobacco, and may actually deny your sale. This is how they are able to stay in business.

It's odd really, if you turn on CNN you see some kid who got kidnapped's parents crying, but we have to work on making sure nobody buys their legal pipes and bongs ...

I was sold Salvia Divinorum and before I left the store the man gave me the "Just a little bit. Don't drive. Have a friend around" spiel. Which obviously meant for smoking.

I don't know what you're talking about, Salvia and the "other legal stuff" aren't something that you ingest, they are incenses. wink, wink, nudge, nudge

There was a flea market that sold *candle holders* many years ago in my area, but somehow the huge stall was shut down and I never heard how they busted them.

What? Headshops kicking people out for talking about bud? Things must be WAY different there... In Canada our headshops are decorated with marijuana leafs, advertisements of seeds, and god only knows how they get away with it (but thank god they do) but shroom spores as well... (only a select few though)

Heh, I live in kanasas city, last year they put a ban on all glass pipes, so the next day the cops went and busted a lot of headshops and liquor stores. It was pretty ridiculous how they did that. I couldimagine how pissed the store owners were when the cops shut down their shops for a day so they could confiscate all the glass pipes.

any metal or glass tube can be a pipe. big brother is a very silly fellow to chase that kind of stuff. a small twist of screening or even a shaped twist of tinfoil will divide a metal or glass straw into a pipe.
the smallest one I have used successfully is the tip of an opened fischer space pen - the kind they took on apollo missions.
very handy indeed. I bought one for all my friends.
