We just checked in with Bob Keith, owner of the Dragon Herbarium and purveyor of many of the legal, natural drugs in Oregon that we wrote about in this week’s cover story.

Apparently the story had an audience. Keith (pictured above) said his business has tripled since the article hit the stands. Last Saturday there were 15 cars backed up in the parking lot, he says.

“It was mostly middle-class and older people. … They were all hanging on to your newspaper,” Keith said around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. “I’ve got six people waiting right now, so I gotta go.”

At Silver Spoon head shop, which was also mentioned in the story, a clerk who identified himself only as Jeremy said he’s had five or six new customers buy kratom since the story came out.
