A few people that I work with order THC gummies from some sketchy source, delivered via mail, that they pay for with crypto. Pornhub still exists, despite having their credit card processing de-platformed, so I guess somebody is paying them some crypto.

But no. I've never met anyone in real life who uses crypto for mundane transactions, where fiat currency is an option.

I have heard from a friend that typically those 'sketchy sources' are just buying gummies from stores in legal states (cough California) and shipping them out.

My friend would get the gummies in the bags ready for retail sale. Same with other items like vape pods.
