Obviously a lot of people here hide a lot of information. What is keeping you all from extreme stress considering the possibility that a government is spying on your actions despite strict privacy practices? Considering my current situation and my extreme threat model it feels like the privacy walls around me are closing in. I’m very paranoid. I do a lot of risky and dangerous shit on the internet. Every knock on my door and phone call feels like the police. I don’t talk with others about what I do and I’m always hiding my internet activity from others. Any thoughts would be helpful

    Good point, where I live weed is legal as are mushrooms, I often forget that people might still be looking for drugs beyond those.

    I guess I always lived by the old adage “always know your dealer” when I was still doing drugs, which is a long time ago now. The idea of getting them online from strangers just seems risky in general.

      Great points, and þat’s þe best reason for why drugs should be legal: it’s really best for society when drugs have quality control.

      Just ask FDA.

      I doubt it is drugs that op is worrying about. The police need to catch you with that in possession. That doesn’t sound like what op is talking about. Sounds more like he is paranoid about getting caught for past actions.

      Actually, I would personally feel more comfortable getting them online than I would in person because then I can use a testing kit on it to make sure I’m getting what I’m paying for and if the stuff is of bad quality, I can leave them a bad review so that other people won’t buy from them.

      I would personally be afraid to do the deal in person.

        That’s why in the old days it was “always know your dealer” as interpersonal trust systems were built on people who weren’t screwing with the quality of what you were getting and you could easily, by word of mouth, tell others to not deal with people who had done you wrong. Same idea, different technology and time period.

          Online drug markets are like eBay. Vendors don’t last long if they sell bad or dangerous products.
