    Wait… I’m lucky if the mousepad I ordered online is actually a mousepad when it arrives, and there are people out there buying drugs online?

      Listen, some of us can’t shake the thrill of the ultimate gamble. Will this make me put down the burger or pull out my liver? Oh, the dizzying highs of rapid weight loss, and the terrifying lows of rapid weight loss doth call me…

      It blows my mind as well, but yeah, and it’s been a thing with a wide variety of drugs for many years now.

        There are no reliable dark net markets left. It’s nothing like it was 10-15 years ago

            Life used to be so simple. Check a forum for some Dutch lab analyzing a product before you buy it. Go to another thread to volunteer for free samples. Until you wake up one morning to a DEA/FBI/other agency takedown notice on your preferred marketplace, cursing Ulbricht and hoping the feds don’t knock down your door.

            I haven’t seen anything remotely close to the community that used to exist. Maybe I just haven’t tried hard enough though.

                That’s right, any federal agent reading this! I NEVER bought anything!

                  Haha, they’re not after small timers. They’re chasing people with ambition who will do anything for a profit. They don’t want prisoners, they want talent they can shackle with blackmail and vice.

                    Oh, I know that now. And that’s what everyone said back in ‘13, but it took me a few weeks to really believe it.

                    Y’know, because I was so worried about all my friends who bought drugs on all those marketplaces.
