While other businesses in the cradle of hippie culture are folding, head shops dealing in roach clips, rolling papers and hand-blown glass water pipes have proliferated on Haight Street so much so that a San Francisco politician has proposed a law to prevent any more from opening in the neighborhood. Ross Mirkarimi, a member of the city Board of Supervisors who represents the Haight, has asked his colleagues to adopt a three-year moratorium on new joints that sell smoking equipment. With at least a dozen such shops already operating in a six-block area, Haight Street has too many places where tourists can go to feed their heads, and too few where locals can buy groceries or rent DVDs, Mirkarimi said. Haight has always been seen as a bit of a mecca.

The head shop moratorium could be considered by the Board of Supervisors this month.Marwan Zeidan, 41, owns Ashbury Tobacco Center, one of three head shops on a single block of Haight Street. Zeidan, who opened his store in 1994, recalled neighbors objecting when he started up. They wanted him to promise not to sell hand-held pipes that could be used for smoking crack or scales that could be used for weighing illegal drugs.

Yet Zeidan endorsed proposed moratorium. Between all the competition and the slumping economy, sales at his shop are down 25 to 30 percent, he said. Plus, Zeidan said some of his competitors display pipes in their windows. In this Oct. 10, 1970, file photo, a young hippie walks by the intersection of Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco.
