I currently live in NC. You can buy everything here now legally made from hemp. Smoke shops and at some gas stations too. the packaging is starting to look similar to Wa legal and names are the same (marijuana marketing is genius and hilarious) but some products barely work too and they are all touted as being less potent.

Most of us long ago stopped believing marijuana was dangerous and were just waiting for the laws to catch up. Some are reassessing now too, I am one of those.
On the other hand...it seems here there are plenty of older folks using products to get off their prescriptions.
