Get ready for more anti-drug propaganda, misinformation and scare tactics! :)

Fuckin 60 minutes

I imagine that for every kid who buys off DNM's, there are 200 who buy from street dealers. I don't think it's wise to underestimate kids but at the same time the majority would not have either the patience to learn all the stuff related to DNM nor the resources to be able to aquire bitcoins particularly outside of the US which makes the meeting someone in person to trade for cash aspect of localbitcoins less of an option.

A lot of kids have the arrogance of youth thing going on, they believe they're invulnerable and they don't especially care about purity in the same way we do. Those drugs are easily available in schools. When I was in my mid teens, my school made the front page of all the national newspapers for "pocket money ecstacy" While I didn't partake myself, we all knew who was selling what and the going rate (£1 an ecstasy tab FYI)

DNM's are so much more preferable to street dealers. There's a huge amount of harm reduction promotion that the media never fucking talks about. The community as a whole is supportive of one another offering advice on dosing to opsec. While it is our own responsibility to keep ourselves safe, I also think we all keep one another safe too.

Addiction drives you into situations you never would have ordinarily gotten yourself into previously. As a female, I am much safer buying from them than I ever have been with buying from street dealers; I have never been sexually assaulted by a vendor off a DNM. I have never felt as though I am in physical danger. I have never been threatened... But you won't ever hear them talking about that and it pisses me off.

Just because I'm an addict doesn't make me any less of a person, I just want to buy my drugs quietly, safely and with no trouble and take them in peace. But of course saying this on these stupid documentaries would mean admitting I'm not a danger to society and that goes against the propaganda; I've never mugged an old lady, I've never stolen from anyone, full stop. I don't spend the mortgage money. I don't ransack my house and sell all our stuff. I've never borrowed money I couldn't pay back. My family and friends don't hate me. The only person I have ever been a danger to, and physically harmed, is myself.

Kids do drugs. Some experiment and outgrow it. Some don't and either become recreational users into adulthood or addicts. It's nothing fucking new. DNM are irrelevant to that because the majority of people using them are adults. If the DNM's all disappeared tomorrow, kids would still experiment with drugs... Because that's what they've always done.

You know what pisses me off with this shit? When they say the drugs "your kids" are taking. Such a blatant attempt to tug on the heart strings of some poor mother and a father. It has to be way less than 1% of the population taking drugs from DNM a large chunk of whom are adults..from the perspective of someone who's anti drugs it's a genuine problem why fluff it up with this shit?

Totally untraceable, and killing our teenagers...

a) Controlled deliveries are a thing; it's hardly untraceable if you get a package intercepted, that address is essentially burned.

b) Killing? No more than local dealers, no more than car crashes. At least as far as I know.

c) Teenagers. I don't know for certain but I doubt it's just the 13-19 range using DNMs. Feel free to correct me.

I have also just noted the disturbing advert for 60 mins (channel 9) Australia.

The main story is about the darknet and the way "kids" are using it to buy LSD,ICE, Marijuana etc. This sorts of goings on has been around since Silk Road 1, it's never been extremely popular due to the inherent difficulty of the task online and risks if not protected.....

Now for the hope of some extra ratings, 60 mins are going to give everyone who tunes in including kids all the info they need to get the drugs they didn't even know existed, delivered to their house, as well as the drug dealers licking their lips at the extra publicity and extra business this will promote.

Some things are better off out of the publics eye. I would use the comparison of the needle injection sites in Sydney that remove the stigma from the streets and add safety to a dangerous situation. I've seen news stories of meth labs being busted and the footage clearly shows every item and brand of household product required to make meth, it's plain media stupidity.

They are also going to show the parents of kids who died buying drugs off the sites, with no disrespect, the kids would have taken drugs off the street with the same risks as the dark net. Most took NBome and thought they could fly and jumped off buildings or ran into cars nude, if proper research on the effects of drugs was taught, for example, trippers needing a sober "trip sitter", NBombe is a bad drug choice. Encouraging the testing of the type of drugs/purity before consuming should be encouraged, then perhaps these tragedies could have been avoided.

Instead their deaths will be sadly and poorly sensationalised and used as a catalyst and learning tool for the next wave of virgin online drug buyers, creating even more damage & even more will perish.... all in the name of ratings. Bravo, 60 mins, Bravo
