After reading the posts by zman3000 and seeing the posts by Quantik an internal debate started to appear - naturally I smoked some kush, did a shot of greygoose, and hopped in the bath.
There is a documentary that I am sure a few of you can pull up from 10-15 years or so ago called 'if drugs were legal'. And its kinda like half documentary / half shortfilm based in the UK, pretty sure its by BBC. It shows the benifits of addicts having safe injection sites. It shows people at bars choosing between their favorite psychedelics like they are candy. However near the end of the film there is an chemist that is against the use of drugs and starts intentionally lacing pills and getting them in the market with something that would put its users into a coma/kill them.
If I knew the identity who a genocidal dealer was and thought he was capable of these horrors am I crossing the line by 'snitching'? Is it even snitching in this case? AFAICT this is not a non-violent crime ...regardless of whether you think its on the individual to test their own drugs. Unless in the future everyone has their own miniture GCMS there is no way to know if your pill is laced with the intention to kill you ...trace amounts of any benzo chems could fool a liquid test easily.
Thinking back years of the non-violent rants by our community(and forefathers - ross - pine - pom) and the utopian idea that this would be the start of a new age of enlightenment as humans would now be in control of whats put into their body ...an act of lacing counterfit pills with the intention of killing/harming 1000s of people would be an act of war against DNM (trying to avoid the word terrorism, however terrifying war can be) now as a community how do we deal with this?? Even if the intent is only to kill one person I think the line has been crossed.
If Quantik does not do his 'final exit' this way one day it will be a angry big pharma worker or hell it could even be a nation state/rouge dea agent ...it wouldn't be the first time the USA poisoned thousands of americans because 'alcohol is illegal'.
I feel like conversly if we knew the identity of Q, taking him out back and having him shot in the swamps is not the way forward either. Though he speaks treason against us I think we need to rise above the old world.
Perhaps one day we can come up with some cryptographic regulation so its hard for new users to accidentially stumble on to bad dealers like this. Maybe Quantik can take a class from a known source on how to not be a stupid childish fuck until I see a sig from a known source Q will always be a joke. The sock puppeting on reddit makes it impossible to really know whats going on, which makes the situation worse for us - leveraging crypto might help us.
goes and smokes a doobie
