The US now has stores that carry everything due to the hemp farm bill loop hole. You can walk into a gas station and get beer or liquor, cigs or other nicotine products, many kinds of THC products including delta9 thca flower, and sometimes kratom or tianeptine although I don't know how common that one is anymore
I just made a post in the Abyss yesterday about walking into the convenience store right across the street from my neighborhood, the same place I usually go to get my "thc-a flower" lol, and seeing "sublingual kratom extract strips" just sitting out next to the register, where you'd usually see a rack of lighters or something. I assume it's some kind of sublingual formulation of 7-OH-Mit or something, but yeah, the legal high market is insane in the U.S. right now. I think the only states that have essentially total bans on Farm Bill cannabinoid intoxicants are Nebraska and Idaho? Everywhere else, regardless of whether that state has medical or rec, you can walk into a shop and buy some kind of intoxicating cannabinoid, in any form. The store I went to yesterday sells every Farm Bill product under the sun, real flower, kratom in a bajillion forms, nitrous, tianeptine, kava, kanna, amanitas, AddAll XR, and a video poker machine in the back, for those who wanna get truly fucked lol.
I mean, I need medical cannabis dearly, but that's not a thing here, so I'm thankful to have the access I have to what I do have right now, because I remember such things as droughts, and brick weed, and "Sorry, bro, everyone's been dry." But yeah, all that other shit, land of the free, home of the slaves, baby.
