What brought you into DNMs?

I'm sure that everyone has their own story when it comes to this, wether it be they just hated dealing with street dealers or wanted to try something but didn't have anyone local to buy it from. What's your story?

Lack of psychedelics on the street

I heard about some shit called Silk Road and thought it sounded like a crazy ripoff scam of some kind, so naturally I immediately googled how to buy bitcoin, and ordered a half gram of cocaine.

It showed up a week later and the rest is history. Free Ross

Learned how to use it from a friend who was addicted to opiates, his mom would basically order for him but he showed me the ropes to it.

When I moved cities for college, I had no connects for good narcotics other than weed and dabs (my roommate sold bulk) and am not the type to ask strangers, or "cold cop", unless I am approached by someone I already am acquainted with. The same roommate's sister had brought him a bit of MDMA from the northern part of the state where all the good psychedelics and MDA/MA come from. So knowing his ass was not going to share with anyone other than his girl, I figured I would get my own stash and pop my drugs-in-the-mail cherry with using the markets knowing it had been a successful way of getting drugs based on a friend's experience.

I was searching on Agora and found a vendor shipping from Canada ("soldier" was the name) with a .45 gram sample for $7! I was ecstatic knowing I would be able to get that much product for basically what it costs to ship something in the U.S.. So I quickly made a Coinbase account, learned how to PGP and placed an order that same night.

Ended up receiving over a half pound of Northern Lights bud due to the vendor fucking up. Never did tell them in case he would blackmail me into paying for it since they most likely still had my address. (Weed was the shittiest, most moldy stuff I've ever laid eyes on anyways).

Sold the half pound with my roommates help, made a good bit of money and that was the beginning of how DNM became my weed, ecstasy and acid supplier that payed for my college and everything else for 3 years until I moved onto bigger and better things. ;D

Silkroad.

Well, Dread Pirate Roberts. That guy wasn't the average drug dealer or inpaired social clusterfuck. His liberal talks, discussions and arguments about society, his open mind towards a 'free' space for individuals to transact, that's things you read in history books or hear from prominient people who actually fight towards the things they believe in.

DNM used to be very different years ago, it was kinda the same experience as when bitcoin first came about, it was epic! Silkroad and Agora has been the best marketplaces by far, I was never a fan of BMR since I am not a fan of the fraudulent scene etc, but I think they did a good and fair exit.

DNM these days are simply produced in wordpress, or by using some cheap bootstrap scripts, I think I have contributed towards finding some administrators who has attempted to exit with individuals funds etc, I don't really know where it has led, or pay attention to it. It's fun though, administrators think TOR is something that you can hide behind, but as fun as it is to expose the scams, it's kind of like you crave to have the same experience as you had years ago.

Seriously, I hope someone with experience and knowledge create a marketplace which isn't solely focused on revenue and gaining money. DNM used to be more than that, it used to be one community where everyone agreed on most things.

Had a friend that moved during school and I asked him how he met someone for weed up at his new school and he said he didn't, he ordered it and explained it. Years later when I was in a financial rut did I decide to venture into dnm to make a flip (weed) to pay rent

Cocaine and hookers.

Got a changetip from some comment I made on Reddit. Was the first time I had thought of Bitcoin in years, so did some research, like "what is bitcoin even used for". Discovered silk road (which I had heard about when it got busted) was not the end of online markets. A couple months later I ordered some weed (only drug I did at the time), then eventually some shrooms, acid, molly, changa, 2cb, ketamine lol.


[2 Points] WhyAreYouEatingPaper:

When I first started using dnms it was because I was sick of paying 80/g for mdma. I still remember one of my first mdma orders with MollyMuse, bought 7g for 250 and got like 11g total. I miss that vendor even though I don't do drugs anymore.

A 2am Google search for "how to buy acid online" knew nothing about SR at the time. Didn't know such a thing was possible. But figured, hell can't be any worse than not finding on the streets.

My love for bitcoin. Once I started learning about it, I understood why it was so special, I just couldn't stop reading about it for hours on end, and watching countless hours of videos/podcasts about on youtube. I used to spend so much time on bitcointalk.org learning about it even more. It got me into learning about encryption and economics too. I also enjoyed getting high, so I started ordering weed with it, and that's where it all started.

Now i'm not even much of a fan of bitcoin at all. I prefer bitcoin cash, a lot of people dislike roger ver, including me. But he is not the developer, he has as much say in how to bitcoin cash should be coded as andreas antonopolos has in telling bitcoin core devs how to write their code. They are advocates for the coin nothing more.

I just had a burning need not to be ripped off for £220 an ounce, call me radical but that's my reasoning

A guy who bought weed cheap then i got onto it and made my first 5,000 that same month and half 😎

LSD was scarce in my area. I was also tired of paying retail prices for weed.
