I definitely agree.  My general bounding box of focus these days is bound to
the north by Gunnison, Colorado; west by Lake City, Colorado; and southeast
by Little Rock.  This puts already legal Colorado, soon to be legal
Missouri, and soon to be no longer enforcing prohibition Tulsa County,
Oklahoma in my home range.  And even where it's not legal, how do you handle
shops that specializes in selling supplies, ostensibly calling them "tobacco
supplies", but everyone knows it's a head shop?

I think the complaint is valid, but standardizing the layout a bit more
(think like man pages or the DOS 3.33 manuals) may help in making something
that's still human friendly while making machine parsing easier.
