Paraphernalia

|
HARRY GOLDSTEIN: So do you provide people with paraphernalia?
JOHN ENTWISTLE: Yes, we sell pipes and all kinds of stuff, and it seems
that's what these folks are helping themselves to. It always changes.
Anything we move here moves in volume. It's just the nature of our thing.

But people love this. It's a place where you can wheel right up to in your wheel chair, buy a nice pipe and wheel out and buy your pot and everything,
and people don't, like, "Hey, there's our guy going in the head shop," you
know what I mean? A lot of our people are really sensitive, man.

They're lawyers, they're doctors, they're from various institutions, they don't
want to go into a head shop on Haight Street in a wheel chair. But they
need these things and this way they simply have to make one stop. They
come into a place that's a known service center for people with medical
disorders and needs, and they can leave, and they get a little privacy and a
little respect: a place they can wheel up and buy the various things they
need and no one's peeking over their shoulder or breathing down their neck.

That's one of the reasons we put all these things down here instead of
telling people to get them elsewhere. People need papers, they need
screens, they need pipes, lighters, all this good stuff.
