This is a good article.

what is really happening here? we are seeing an expression. people are actively acquiring these illegal substances. we know that prohibition doesn't work. if people want something enough, they'll just do it. especially if the experience is desired.

you can read so many positive experiences that have come from drugs. you can see them. you can hear them. so much creativity that is praised, comes from drug experiences, yet drugs are still illegal.

money talks. people want to experience as much of life as they can. just like, you know, let them, gaaaaaawd.

Laissez-faire capitalism at its finest, making it a wild west for who can sell the purest product cheapest.

I remember only a few years ago when reports were coming out left right and centre about the evils of cannabis. People (scientists) were scared to debunk in public, or noone wanted to publish in the mainstream. Then they did.

Now, no more weekly news reports on reefer madness.....

The Guardian has posted numerous stories about the positives of the DNM's now. The tide seems to be turning.

Hopefully it will be a case of adapt or die for IRL dealers.
