    There are no reliable dark net markets left. It’s nothing like it was 10-15 years ago

      Has it really gone that far down hill? I was finding great products like 4 or so years ago?

        Life used to be so simple. Check a forum for some Dutch lab analyzing a product before you buy it. Go to another thread to volunteer for free samples. Until you wake up one morning to a DEA/FBI/other agency takedown notice on your preferred marketplace, cursing Ulbricht and hoping the feds don’t knock down your door.

        I haven’t seen anything remotely close to the community that used to exist. Maybe I just haven’t tried hard enough though.

          It was all always a honeypot. You just didn’t bite so they don’t pursue you anymore.

            That’s right, any federal agent reading this! I NEVER bought anything!

              Haha, they’re not after small timers. They’re chasing people with ambition who will do anything for a profit. They don’t want prisoners, they want talent they can shackle with blackmail and vice.

                Oh, I know that now. And that’s what everyone said back in ‘13, but it took me a few weeks to really believe it.

                Y’know, because I was so worried about all my friends who bought drugs on all those marketplaces.
