Hey @Nice2MeetYou !
This is a great question and one I am happy to help answer for you. I am thrilled to hear you are interested in opening a Shopify store, Awesome username by the way!
Shopify does allow you to sell hemp/cannabis and CBD accessories on the platform if that is legal to do within your region as mentioned here. You should seek legal counsel in order to confirm that you comply with all selling laws in your jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of your customers you would be selling the accessories too. May I ask where you are based?
Just to note, our in-house payment processor, Shopify Payments, cannot support this type of business, so you would need to find a third party payment processor that would support the sale of these accessories. Here are the terms of service for Shopify Payments, you can see it listed under prohibited businesses.

Hi @HazyPlanet !
Thanks for subscribing to this thread and I would be more than happy to help you today!
Yes, you can sell grinders, ashtrays, and lighters on Shopify as these items are typically legal products that can be sold online. However, it’s important to note that the legality of these items may vary depending on the country and region you are selling them in. So, check the local laws and regulations before adding such items to your store.
Furthermore, some payment processors and Shopify Payments itself have policies that restrict certain types of product sales, such as tobacco-related products. I don’t have access to your account to verify your region for Shopify Payments, but you can look up the applicable terms of service as seen here or let me know your country and I can do so for you.
As we are not legal experts, we would strongly suggest checking this with a legal counsel to confirm you have all the information you need to start your business.
Are you currently selling on another platform or have a business like this already?
Hi there
I have a Shopify store in australia and want to sell pre-rolled blue lotus flower products. It is completely legal, has nothing to do with smoking cigarette’s or weed - no smoking accessories or otherwise, it’s just a herbal smoking blend in both loose a pre-rolled packaging.
Is this supported with Shopify payments? If not, what payment provider could you suggest? Thanks
Hi there, @Femalien .
Welcome to the Shopify Community, and thanks for sharing your question.
Merchants are required to comply with Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), Terms of Service and all applicable laws in your jurisdictions as well as your customers’ jurisdictions.
We recommend reviewing the Shopify Payments Terms of Service to ensure your products do not fall into prohibited categories, such as drug paraphernalia or pseudo-pharmaceuticals. We recommend reaching out to a legal professional to review the terms of service. After reviewing, you can create a trial account where our Shopify Payments team will review the information and products.

Hey! i’m a few years late but i got my trays and grinders pulled from my shop. I was okay selling ashtrays and lighters but they told me i need a third party payment to sell the other items. hope this helps!
Hey,
Yes you can seel rolling trays, grinders, lighters, ashtrays and similar accessories on Shopify. These item are generally allowed because they are smoking accessories, not drug or tobacco. Just make sure you dont promote illegal substances and that your payment provider supports this type of product. You can also add this link to your website as this link shares information about herbal cigarettes brands, which are tobacco free alternatives made from herb. It is useful for educational purpose and help visitors learn about legal herbal options. As long as you use it for information only and not to promote anything illegal, it’s fine to include.
