What States Have the Strictest Drug Paraphernalia Laws?

Full question:

I am considering opening an online smoke shop that sells vaporizers, glass pipes and aroma therapy products and delivers worldwide. Is this a bad idea? I know Ohio has very strict drug paraphernalia laws. Are there other US States (Utah probably) that I should avoid doing business in? Thank you.
