A lot of people are turning to the dark web to get just basic medicine because it's such a headache to get the medicine that they need. It's WAY cheaper too.
It's sad that people have to resort to that, but it's better than suffering.
Hmm. I'd be concerned that the lack of regulation from medicines from the dark web would cause you to take something that makes me suffer even more.
Yeah, but it's easier and more reliable in some cases.
For example, every three months I have to go through a renewal process to get my diabetes medicine with my insurance. That's up to a week without my life saving medicine.
If I were to get it on the darknet, I'd add years to my life since I don't have to wait weeks to get the proper medicine.
