  The thing they don't regulate is vitamins, supplements etc. Interestingly those things can be just as potent as "real drugs", but they aren't regulated simply because the seller opted to not say they are drugs, rather on any theory that they're not actually drugs.

    Not to worry, those are regulated by the banks, who won't provide financial services to any business selling anything that they think mimics illegal drugs.
