Smoke Shop in Medellín: What to Expect at Stoners (El Poblado vs. Laureles)
In short: Stoners has two stores in Medellín. El Poblado (English and Spanish) is open Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 9 pm, and Laureles from 9 am to 9 pm. Both open on Sundays and public holidays from 2 pm to 7 pm. Sales are for adults 18 and over, so bring your passport or ID.
If you have never been inside a smoke shop in Colombia, you might wonder what to expect. This guide explains what Stoners sells, how our two Medellín stores differ and how to make the most of your visit.
What is a smoke shop in Colombia?
A smoke shop is a specialized store for rolling papers, grinders, pipes, vaporizers, lighters and related accessories. In Colombia you will also hear them called tiendas de accesorios or simply smoke shops. A good one stocks recognized brands, lets you compare products in person and has staff who can answer questions. That is what we have been doing since 2015.
What you will find at Stoners
- Rolling papers and cones. Many sizes and brands, including RAW, OCB, Elements, Zig-Zag and King Palm.
- Wraps, filters and tips. Everything you need to finish your own roll.
- Grinders. Different sizes and materials, from simple two-piece models to multi-piece designs.
- Glass water pipes and hand pipes. A wide visual range, from compact to larger pieces.
- Vaporizers. Portable and desktop options.
- Lighters, torches, trays and cleaning products. The practical extras that make everything else last longer.

Tips for visitors
- Take your time. Compare brands and sizes. Our team is there to help.
- Think about your luggage. Glass items need careful wrapping. Vaporizers contain lithium batteries, which airlines generally require in carry-on bags, so check your airline’s rules.
- Check the rules. What you can use, where you can use it and what you can bring home differs between countries. Please follow local rules and check your home country’s regulations before you buy.
- Plan the rest of your trip. Our Medellín visitor guide has neighborhood tips, transport advice and useful Spanish phrases.
