No, they’re not selling it over the counter to anyone who asks. So it’s not legal yet. The argument I keep hearing about companies that try selling it, online or in a store, is for harm reduction. They say they want to eliminate street dealers selling toxic drugs by offering a safer alternative. I can only believe that if they sell it at a higher potency and reduced cost while generating just enough profit to stay active. Otherwise, they’re just more of the same typical dealers, cutting their shit with pig dewormer to inflate their product and max out their profits.
1st off, pharmaceutical cocaine has been in use for over a century as a topical painkiller. 2nd off, pharmaceutical cocaine is 10% purity and NO ONE would use it to get high

I had emergency minor surgery to stop a nosebleed once and the Dr used liquid cocaine to numb the area. I was nine and flying!

AFIAK, they need to certify test kits -(chemical sniffers) train dogs, etc.
​
there’s a standard that has to be met for the test kit you use to lock someone up.
the target substance need to be standardized just the same.
