    Yeah we had something similar here for a while. “Head shops” were selling bath salts and spice and what not.

    The government struggled to catch up because the next analogue was ready to go the second any ban came in.

    Eventually they brought out what was essentially a “fuck this shit” piece of legislation. Was a good few years ago now. More than ten if memory serves. It all shut down overnight.

    Things are way more regulated here though in general (Ireland). I can’t even buy melatonin over the counter which honestly is both stupid and annoying.

    Edit: We do still have the good sudafed though. One with two paracetamol is great for a hangover. :)
