What Vape Stores Aren't Telling You

It all started with those flashing signs that I couldn't ignore that said K-R-A-T-O-M. From there I went down a rabbit hole into the world of vape shops, Delta-8/9 THC, and the blurry line between what legal and what is actually safe. In this episode, we'll talk about loopholes that let these unregulated products hit the shelves, why people turn to them in times of need, and what "regulation" really means when it comes to protecting our health. Whether you've seen these signs around or never heard of Kratom yourself, this one's worth a listen.**Information**If you’re looking for resources, you can contact FOCUS Recovery and Wellness Community at (419) 423-5071.
