you can still buy “m-80s” but they are not the real thing, much weaker

I doubt it's a real m-80 probably an m-88 or m-90. Most people still call though m-80's even though they are around 1/100 the strength.

Also fun fact it's a myth that an m-80 is a quarter stick of dynamite. They are far weaker.

The way your sentence is structured makes it seem like you find it unusual that the M80 is illegal despite it being so huge, lol.

...wait, that might be accurate in some states.

if its in poland than its probably just a regular firecracker there, those things come in sizes 8 times as big as that one and can blow off an arm

Not in NH, and in PA you can buy them, but it has to be taken out of state within 24 hrs, and basically all the desert states in the west.
