Number of deaths from lightning bolts in 2014? 26.

You are 4x as likely to have been stricken down by Zeus than to die from drugs you got from Silk Road.


[2 Points] None:

I'm sure tens of thousands of people died on the original Silk Road. :/


[2 Points] mayormaynotbefucked1:

how many would have died if they were forced to buy drugs on the street?


[2 Points] Someone_Who_Isnt_You:

And thousands have died from legal alcohol use.


[2 Points] II-NataYmleg:

Pharma companies would love to say that any their products kills only 6 people a year.


[2 Points] MXEMan:

Meanwhile, 1300 people died today from cigarettes they bought at their corner store.


[1 Points] CocaineNose:

only 6. in the grand scale of things, that's nothing.

That's honestly way lower than I would assume it to be. 6 people? How many people do you think die buying drugs on the street that's cut with other shit, from sketchy ass dudes? It's hilarious they would try to spin such a low number as something negative. These markets are awesome as a platform because we have all of these reviews and we can see who the reputable vendors are. I'd say, if anything, these markets SAVED peoples' lives because they have an idea of what they're getting before it arrives.

Wow, maybe we should reconsider using these markets if they're killing people.
