#186 - Behind the Counter: A Perspective on Smoke Shops & Legal Highs

Step inside the world of smoke shops with this eye-opening episode as we talk with Justine about the surprising—and sometimes concerning—realities of selling legal highs. From kratom and tianeptine (aka “gas station heroin”) to meth pipes, fake pee, and THCP gummies that can leave you high for days, we explore what people are really buying, why they’re buying it, and what this says about drug policy in America.
