What is the point of the entire war on drugs? Everyone who isn't brainwashed by propaganda recognizes that the entire thing is a massive failure. As far as I have been able to determine, the point is a combination of enforcing traditional religious moral standards and providing employment and funding to large segments of society (prison industry, law enforcement, rehabs, drug testing companies, pharmaceutical companies, etc). Increasing police powers and power of the state are also points. Sending joe blow to court ordered rehab and getting him on probation paying for piss tests is effective at meeting these goals. And Joe Blow has been sent to prison for small personal use amounts of drugs. The state does not like it when its peons defy them anyway. Well I do think they are out to get me considering they have pwnt a few friends already. And I do have an us versus them attitude because last I checked it is us versus them, we are in an arms race, and the people who fuck up or fall behind get pwnt. They probably don't care enough to go out looking for me just because I post that I have a gram of weed. But if they intercept it in the mail they could very well pwn me for it. If they find ten hits of MDMA coming to me in the mail why is that any different than if they find it in my car during a random traffic stop? Do you really think they are going to ignore it simply because they found it in an envelope addressed to me instead of in a baggie under my seat?  And gang bangers spend most of their time going to the grocery store and taking shits on the toilet but it doesn't mean they wont kill you in a drive by shooting. Also there are federal agencies that spend 100% of their time on drug law enforcement. And mail enforcement. And customs enforcement. And almost any local police department is going to have an entire narcotics unit that spends 100% of its resources on enforcing drug laws. No but there are officers out there looking to move up supply chains and they will bust the dude with one gram of weed to get to the dude with 28 grams to get to the next dude etc. SR protects from this if you look at it as an entirely isolated network, since buyers can't flip on sellers. But if you consider the fact that people on SR might be part of IRL networks also, then it gives police the same motivation to go after buyers to move up their IRL chains of supply. And even if you don't take targeted attacks into consideration, because they are less likely to be aimed at buyers, you also need to take dragnet attacks into consideration. I have zero doubt that buyers here could get caught up in dragnet operations and that customs isn't going to just ignore the fact that you tried to import MDMA even if it was only ten hits. They will probably just forward the case on to your local police department. There actually is a substantial amount of interagency cooperation and feds give local police leads all the time. But posing as a buyer to catch a vendor isn't going to be as effective as posing as a vendor to bust buyers. And if enough buyers are busted it will cause a chilling effect. I am sure LE have had this same thought process. Also hookers and pimps and johns are all busted. Cops set up elaborate sting operations that cost tens of thousands of dollars in man hours alone, just to bust a dozen dudes paying to get their dicks sucked. It costs as much as a seller account to harvest addresses on SR and forward them on to the interested local police department. Don't think that there are not communications channels in place between local police agencies because there are, especially for internet crimes, if a cop in Texas finds an IP address doing illegal shit in New York they will forward the information on to the NYPD and they know if NYPD finds such an IP address in Texas they will forward it on to them. There is substantial interagency cooperation and coordination at all levels of law enforcement. Well they would likely gather addresses for a few months and then swoop in on everyone. It isn't like they need to immediately blow their cover. Simply knowing that you purchased 1 gram of weed from them three months ago is probably enough to get you raided today, and they will anticipate that you have other illegal drugs on you. using fake ID PO box that you rotate regularly could actually protect from this sort of gather addresses and later move in on them operation. This seems more like an argument for why they will target buyers than an argument against it, imo.
