Before you buy, run this quick checklist:

• Does the site have an age-gate on entry? If not, that's a red flag.
• Does checkout require a birth date or ID? If not, walk away.
• Will the package need an adult signature? Ask the seller if you're unsure.
• Is the seller's business info clearly listed? If not, skip it.
• Does the product page mention Ohio's 21+ rule? That's a good sign.

If the seller passes all five, you're probably dealing with a compliant, trustworthy operation.
