Marketeers! We sit at this table we call the sub. We all drink from the same intoxicating cup we call the markets. Is our future half empty or half full?
(I'd like to begin this post by stating that this is not an effort to gauge the acceptance of the new president elect from this community. I made this post in hopes to generate discussion about the future of the markets and also to talk about a possible exit strategy for small-time, personal use consumers.)
We all have a personal opinion about recent events, but I'd like to share some info straight from the horses (or jack-ass, depending who you ask) mouth.

This is what the United States new "government" leader thinks about the internet. He believes it can be claimed, because he calls it "our" internet, and he believes certain "parts" should be shut down (says so in the video). Being that Trump has never used ANY drugs or even alcohol, I'd bet that what we've got going on here will become a prime target with no empathy from the new regime.
We all know his stance on immigration, and with that, his willingness to focus massive ammounts of resources into areas of government that handle these things. I.C.E (immigration and CUSTOMS enforcement) are the guys who handle those international packs, and are the one's who patrol our borders and are the guys that Trump is going to allocate alot of money to, in order to "do a good job". Look up any bust posted around here about a U.S controlled delivery and see what organizations were involved. Customs is a huge part of border security, Trump wants to put the borders on steroids, it's his main schtick, you see where I'm going with this? He has also stated he wants more internet surveillance and, is willing to do whatever it takes (whatever-it-takes = $$$) to bring together "the greatest minds in silicon valley" to do so.
For the first time in my DNM experience, I can honestly say, I feel my cup of liquid shrooms is half empty. L.E will only pursue their targets as far as they are finacially able to. I'm afraid that the enemies of the DNM are about to hit the fucking JACKPOT! What do you guys think? Is the future of our markets so bleak? Is our way of life here threatened? Will a "cyber wall" be built as well? I know we will be seeing less and less of international packs, but how far will our new dictator be willing to go in order to fight "terrorist" (that's us guys, depending on who you ask).
I do have a solution for anyone who shares my view on this topic. We should hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Like a dooms-day-prepper, I have begun to stockpile my DNM loot. I only purchase M from the markets along with a few psychs. My drug use is scheduled with a minimum timeline of 6 weeks between uses. My doses are also always accurately weighed out and never exceeded during sessions. Responsible use and moderation is key to success. Using math, I have come to a realization of what I will need to keep me stocked for at least a decade (even considering I share 50% of what I aquire with people I love). Anyone who is finacially able to do so, and if you are physically capable of accomplishing this (self-control), I advocate you take a similar route. Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm cautious, but being either one has never hurt a person before.
Are there any other steps that vendor, custy, and market alike, should be taking in order to brace for the oncoming hurricane that looms just over the horizon? Should we act like it won't hit us? I'm under the presumption that it's not a question of if, but when.
One man's terrorist, is another man's Freedom Fighter, and vice versa. Participating in the Markets makes you one or the other, depending on who you ask, whether you like it or not. The only question is, what are you going to do about it?
