With the seizure of HANSA I am closing up shop for an extended period of time. All orders that were marked as shipped have been sent, all tracking numbers have been erased, and I am securing my future. I did not lose enough to be ruined by AB and HANSA; but I cannot gamble my remaining capital in these harsh times.
It was a pleasure to serve with all of you in the fight against unjust drug legislation which limit society's progress. We will win the fight and see a new era of discovery much like the renaissance. An important part of winning the fight is knowing when to back down from the war.
I cannot fight with my fellow heroes if I'm locked up and lose voting rights. For this reason, I must urge other vendors to step down so that we may rise again when the water has settled. It is far more difficult to capture a wave of new vendors rising as old ones fall than to capture a vendor who never closes shop. Retired vendors gain significant OPSEC when they join the wave of new vendors with a new identity.
We are tremendously disadvantaged in comparison to the government; but if we coordinate our operational security, then then government will find it difficult to disrupt our community. We cannot let private interests with a seemingly infinite cash stack tear us apart and ruin our lives. We are stronger than we appear and we cannot let fear take control of our lives. I can bet that too many of you saw the seizure and had a panic attack. That is how the government limits our efficiency as a community. Instead of fearing for our lives we need to take steps to protect ourselves and improve future operations from being dismantled.
You're all superstars, so you better act like it too. Don't let your friends, family, strangers, the government, or anyone else make you feel worse about yourself for the substances you consume. Maintain a positive outlook and keep doing what makes you happy. You are the master of your sea and every dumb ass word you hear from anyone is just another gust of wind in the storm. You are the captain now, you've mastered the winds. No one can stop you now.

I totally get where you're coming from and respect your decision, but honestly voting isn't going to change anything any time soon. If it did, it'd be illegal. I mean, yeah, you might get lucky enough to vote on weed legalization, but LSD? Shrooms? Across-the-board decriminalization? We will not be seeing this in our lifetime.
