There's a local corner store here that had a big banner advertising that they sold this stuff. Had to look up what it was.
Then last time I drove by they changed it from "We sell Galaxy Gas!" to "We sell 7-Hydroxymitragynine!"
I looked that up and apparently it's some super concentrated kratom extract and a bunch of the google results were warning that it was basically just morphine. Which sounds pretty fucked up.
But also it's extremely easy to get fentanyl here, so maybe it's harm reduction in a sense? But selling it so openly, where anyone who drives along this major road will know you are dealing...
Just like, I remember when I was younger buying weird drugs from corner stores, they at least had to wink wink nudge nudge pretend that they weren't just drug dealers.
I will sing kratom's praises all day everyday, but I have nothing good to say about 7-OH. Kratom is safe, cheap and relatively non-addictive. 7-OH is an expensive, short lived, and insanely addictive high that has a super steep tolerance increase. 7-OH is going to be the death of kratom, mark my words.
My gas station sells vapes, cigs, kratom, you name it without id. Granted I don't get carded because they know me from how often I visit it (plus I have an old man beard) but I can't see them really carding kids either, or an adult who's buying it for a kid. Anyway, capitalism and people self-medicating to relieve the terror brought on by this horrible way of life.
I don't think people should be allowed to sell or advertise drugs to children.
Yeah, I'm torn because on the one hand I want to decriminalize all drugs but on the other I don't want people hooked and using them.
My dream would be drugs sold in an extremely boring and ugly place with no advertising. Like beige walls, unpleasant lighting. Plain packaging, nurse to educate on safer usage, harm reduction material and rehab advertisement. Volunteers on hand to talk about addiction and recovery experiences if you're interested.
You can get them with good safety information and without judgement but it's made as unappealing as possible. No colourful cans of beer with smiling people on them, no weed called like galaxybrain ultralove 7000, just plain "heroine, injectable preparation, 1 mg/ml" "cannabis, 100g, thc:cbd 2:1, dry herb preparation" etc.
We can't remove drug use but we can make it safer without encouraging use.
Make drugs free, and by perscription (especially opiates). Its the only way to regulate the manufacture, and eliminate the commodification.
Decriminalise all drugs.
Criminalise all advertising.
