Title: Does the vendor Ron Paul make anyone else nervous?
Post by: Drone75blackbird on February 07, 2012, 07:59 am
Seems to be a good cover for potential LE. They wouldn't actually be guilty of selling you drugs. Rather they would say it was just paper they were selling. However then they'd have your address... thoughts?

It'd actually be pretty funny to me since law enforcement has historically been unable to make self-referential nyms. Hell, the admin of one past sting forum was named "LEOnidas." :D

I don't buy anything legal on SR for this reason.  I only deal with vendors with a proven record of sending illegal substances, so that I know they are not LE.

I must admit, all the thoughts above crossed my mind, but this was the most amusing.
Hypothetically speaking.. Dude was alive at the right time, he could have taken acid as easily as my dad did.
With connections, it would have been ridiculously easy. And to end up with lots of rare vintage blotter sheets..
That said, there's probably a 33/33/33 split over it being A: RP, B: LEO, C: A really epic cover for someone who had access to blotter sheets before the acid was laid.

Dude, if you think LE won't sell drugs your greatly mistaken.  They do it all of the time.  Especially in the U.S.

Hell yeah they will...  Lol, made me think of the urban legend that cops have to answer honestly if you ask them if they're cops ;)

haha, this is so true, hypothetically! Not only was he alive at the right time, but at the right place as well, earning his medical degree just before joining the military in the early 60's (the hay-days of LSD research for both institutions).

No I understand they can lie clearly. Otherwise they would never be able to do any under cover investigation.

However I disagree I don't think they can sell drugs and put them back on the street. That's different than say doing an undercover op to buy/sell and then arresting on the spot. They certainly aren't allowed to mail drugs to people and allow them to use them. If that were the case, they could easily make a vendor account, and build a nice rep before busting every buyer they ever mailed anything to.
