For the last month, people have been panic hoarding non-perishable foods, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper at grocery stores across the US and Europe. In a pandemic, some people have different priorities. We noted this as early as March 1, when the local news interviewed a man at a US Costco store, who bought boxes of condoms and a big jar of coconut lube. And it's not just safe sex products that people are purchasing. There's also a huge demand for marijuana.
