ob Marley may be dead, but you wouldn’t know it to walk into Buried Treasures. (The original location is, in fact, buried on a side street off Mass. Ave. near the Berklee College of Music.) It may sound more like an antique store than a smoke shop, which is why most people miss it, but most antique stores don’t have walls stocked with Marley T-shirts and exotic incense. Yeah, you could find a bong here, too, if you wanted, but what makes this place worth seeking out is the retro hippie merchandise. And no, you can’t buy “that” here, but you’ll get a good laugh if you try. Praetorius
