New user here. I found SR after (skeptically) researching 'deep web'.
I jumped through the hoops- registering, getting Bitcoins, etc. At each step I though for sure
i was being scammed or that it just would not work out.
After placing first order- very nervous. Kept thinking either it wouldn't arrive (checked box
every damn day) or that I would be arrested.
In my mind I pictured being arrested, losing job, family shame, wife divorcing me etc.
and then my package came. and it was perfect. I was just blown away by the packaging. Really ingenious.
then of course I thought, "what if this stuff is fake/counterfeit? what if it's rat poison? what if...what if"
but so far so good.
I was just really impressed by everything.
this is truly power to the people.
thanks everyone.

Glad to hear you had a good experience. :)
-
Yeah no shit it worked
Why would it be rat poison though lol? where's the logic, these are business guys the top sellers, not going to get a lot of business poisoning your customers are you?

^^ it's just someone expressing their amazement at the fact they were able to order life enhancing / recreational
/ medicinal substances from their computer. That's all.
Breathe deep and relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaxx :)

yup SR work great if you buy form the right ppl. just dont think all vendors are like that there are sacmers on here so look on the fourms 1st be4 you do a order and stay in escrow also dont do finalize early there are vendors who make you do that but a lot of the top vendors will not.

Nice to hear about good experience from first time buyer.
I completely understand your healthy dose of paranoia.
This is protective mechanism that is keeping us alive and safe.
Act smart and you will cope with it just right.
godspeed,

Same experience here. Even this part :D
..
In my mind I pictured being arrested, losing job, family shame, wife divorcing me etc.

Thanks to my first seller, DRAmsterdam, youre the man!
And thanks everybody else here. I have learned a lot about security, linux, pgp and alike because of this project.
And I totally believe it is my right to infuse my body and my mind to my liking.
Long Live Silk Road!

Thanks everybody. It's great to join this community. I think this is the future. It makes me sick that these politicians want to shut it down. What gives them the right to control people?
Well anyhow...very pleased so far. Look forward to getting what I need here for a long time.

What he said. I fuckin love this place and can't wait to start contributing as a seller.

I got chills reading this thread.
I love this place.

I must be weird...I was never worried or skeptical about this site. It just makes sense. We are in a point in time where it makes perfect sense that there would be a website like this with a real community that actually cares for its vendors and customers. This place is the future. I really do hope it will see many more years. The only problem I see is that every community that gets bigger and bigger it starts to lose those small town qualities. Communication like this forum is essential in making sure this place really thrives.
-
I wasn't skeptical about getting my orders, the honest feedback people provide help keep sellers honest.
When I heard about this place, I had to place an order to try it out. It's a whole lot better than running to the local shady dealer. I'll be buying again!

wow...perhaps with the aid of yet another successful SR purchase, feel a little of what ALL of ya are saying....getting your first order IS like getting your cherry popped.....6 months ago that was me, now up to 40+ successful transactions and two unsuccessful (both fully refunded and I have zero belief that the packages were even shipped, so I do not suspect an intercept). I remember the first time I parachuted, I looked up at the canopy and my instinctive reaction was "holy shit, it worked", so I know where the OP is coming from.
On the other hand, that's all because of the way we've been conditioned to react to the substances we enjoy. SR does make sense, as one dude said. Having to skulk around like a criminal to get overcharged for some shitty brick weed and facing the possibility of the same "inconveniences" mentioned above and possibly becoming a heavy burden to the taxpayer doesn't make any fucking sense at all.
No one has been caused any inconvenience as a result of any of my transactions on The Silk Road.
But, many a friend has smiled and laughed until they pissed their pants.......WTF is wrong with this picture? Time to pack a bowl....

thats awesome

This website is paradigm of how a free market should work.. It's so beautiful, this website represents what America originally intended economy should work. No government intervention, no problem.

This is something we can all agree on. The government seems to think we are all too stupid to make decisions for ourselves. They think they have to regulate our lives to keep us safe.

I remember my first buy... I wasn't as scared as you though. You see all the posts on the forums, how could it be a scam? Somebody must have a lot of time on there hands if so.

Here's how I see it: government wants to control and will always try to become larger and more powerful.
this is why we have checks and balances (thank you founding fathers); however, when govt gets involved in something it becomes a deal with devil. if something costs them money (junkies in Emergency rooms, people on disability, medicaid etc) they are going to see it as their right to control drugs, money etc. (Especially if they aren't getting their cut of the money that is exchanged!)
when people OD, there are always parents or loved ones who want govt to 'do something'; however these short term feel-good laws have long-term problems. for example I recently served on a jury where a guy was accused of possessing weapons on school grounds. the weapon was pen knife and the 'school grounds' was a frat house. I argued that the law was unjust (tho technically dude was guilty) and many of the other jurors agreed with me.

Hats off to you. Some of us had a bumpy start. I'm glad your first attempt was successful..
-
Toasting in epic thread.
I literally had the same thoughts as OP during my first shipment. Wasnt worried about the seller (his feedback profile was perfect) but worried about interception, arrest, and all that of course.
Everything went perfect and I love this amazing site.
Thank you thank you to the creators of TOR, the Japanese guy that invented Bitcoins, and the SR staff for making all this possible. For a guy like myself with no "connections" it's so nice to have a way for responsible adults to enjoy themselves and relieve some freaking stress from our everyday lives. Thanks again!

SR is great. I've lost thousands dealing with strangers over the years,including net based transactions, and so far SR has done nothing but get me more than I paid for (NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE IN MY LIFE)
You can purchase a 1/4 of MJ you actually want,not just whatever the dirty kid down the street has, and get 8 grams, not six! And the strain name you hear actually matches the weed! The popular vendors on here are popular for a good reason. Some real standup guys on here.

i am still in shock and awe every single time i log in. it hasn't changed in intensity from the first day i used SR. i have and always will find this website Fucking nuts in the best possible ways
