When SR 1 opened I was thrilled. It seemed to strike a blow for freedom in the world. To peacefully use chemicals on one's own body seems to me to be a fundamental human right.
HOWEVER (and I know there are philosophical/principle arguments about "free" markets)- I don't like seeing the carders, counterfeits, and fraud marketers. These are crimes that hurt all of us. I believe supporting theft in this manner is going to be unproductive and give governments the public support they need to make DNMs public enemy number 1.
We all know how the media is. If it is just drugs there is a quietly large group of people who tacitly support this. But once you start getting stories about "guns, hitmen, stolen property at the click of a mouse" even our supports get upset.
I can already here the counter arguments (eg "where do you think your drugs come from?" etc), but I remain firmly convinced. I'm not judging anybody. You do what you have to to survive in the world, but I would propose to the mods that we not allow posts regarding theft and fraud.
I'd also like to propose that we create and support some DNM funded charities. I'd love to see large amounts of money raised for children's hospitals, ALS and cancer research. If we can win the PR battle we can ultimately win this war.
This is not right. Darknetmarkets is about illegal things - NOT specifically drugs. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean that others don't use the markets for them. And then you say that drugs cannot hurt us? That's not true.
