They have names like "herbal heaven" and they sell pills like BZP which are mild substitutes for methamphetamine, ecstasy etc and which are not actually herbal at all. They also I believe sell balloons containing nitrous oxide...I'm speaking entirely from hearsay as I've never been in one and don't want to (unless it's resesarch for a novel :) )<BR/>Maybe I'll post a photo of the condom shop sometime. It was called "Condomania". Up until then, I never imagined there were enough kinds of condoms to fill a whole shop. Surfers of course is a "party" resort. Like a place US college students might flock to on spring break.<BR/>Deb, there might be still "dry" electorates in New Zealand - there certainly were when I was a child and young adult.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1154101103146634692006-07-29T03:38:00.000+12:002006-07-29T03:38:00.000+12:00Well that's a new one!

BAH! Humbug! So as strange as a pill store seems to me at first, it really is no more illogical than a liquor store.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you weren't caught in the middle of it all, C!Deb Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322863748665701618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24246495.post-1154087963988236032006-07-28T23:59:00.000+12:002006-07-28T23:59:00.000+12:00I'm not sure what a party pill shop is?
