Does law enforcement really allocate the presumably limited resources they have trying to sieze apprehend and convict recreational users of psychedelics like us? Say some cyber guy at the FBI stumbles upon my TOR browsing history (for arguments sake) is that person really going to dedicate time and energy trying to "get me off the streets and behind bars" as it were.. I am using various psychedelics to embark upon a spiritual journey and develop a greater appreciation for life. Do our type really need to be paying for Bitcoin in cash, in person, and at a premium for optimal privacy? Do we really need to be spending money on burner phones and hard drives in order to evade detection? I'd love to hear what everyone has to say about their own personal experience with LE.
Also, isn't it a bit of a conundrum that, in trying to gain greater anonymity, we might subsequently provoke suspicion from LE? If one goes to immense lenghts to ensure his privacy, wouldn't it then follow that it the eyes of LE, that person REALLY has something to hide, and in turn raise some eyebrows in Langston or wherever.
You can't know and you are gambling if you dont follow usual opsec. These rules have been made from learning from past convictions. People went to prison for small amounts so best is to make it as hard as possible for them to get evidence for the court room. That means don't use tor on windows, use correct procedure when buying btc. You won't get caught because of some cyber guy at the fbi, but if your pack gets intercepted for example and they take your pc and phone you are fucked when using windows. cyber opsec is for helping when irl opsec fails.
