Let's Make a Deal with Drugs

"Give it away, two for one, or let’s make a deal." Remember the old adage that people don’t give away drugs? Well, that’s no longer true. Today, smoke shops, mall kiosks, and even liquor stores are offering samples, giveaways, two-for-one deals, reduced pricing, or simply meeting any price you ask. But why are they doing this? Is it due to inflation or a desire to be good neighbors? The opposite is true—they have too much product. And by "product," I don’t just mean vapes. I’m talking about everything from Kratom (which can be abused similarly to heroin) to various types of vapes and even "legal" over-the-counter drugs that mimic the effects of controlled substances or hallucinogens.
I’ve attached a few photos I’ve taken in various states over the last few months, including one from this week, to illustrate the point. (I was offered Delta 8 "grab" bags.)
