As yes, fuck everyone (like me) that isn't allowed to get medicine from above board channels (this 1000 times more common than silly things like paying for hitmen or organs. If you are buying hitmen or organs on the Internet 99% of the time it is fake)

About medicine:

Most pills sold on the dark web are not genuine pharmaceuticals. Law enforcement has caught countless vendors making their own tablets with pill presses, stamping them with real drug logos, and selling them as Xanax, oxycodone, or Adderall. Some are made with raw ingredients shipped from overseas; others are mixed in makeshift labs with no quality control.

The danger is what’s inside: pills advertised as painkillers often contain fentanyl, and fake Adderall tablets have been found packed with meth. Even if a pill looks real, its contents may be wrong, too strong, or contaminated. A single counterfeit dose can be deadly.

This appears to be a sweeping statement that would be very hard to confirm or deny.

Yeah this is what you have to deal with when governments prioritise profits over the people's health. It's just a matter of risk management.

The burden of proof is on who makes the initial claim, in this case, the seller. In traditional markets the state forces pharma companies to prove their claims, but in the dark web it's the wild west. Great way to scam people.

In traditional markets, I'm denied entry because I don't have a prescription my doctor refuses to give to me. So idk what the benefit of traditional markets is supposed to be to anyone in the same situation.

And once you find a good seller, you can stick to them and spread the word. Obviously there are risks of scams and fake product, but this is the fault of the government barriers to traditional markets rather cryptocurrencies.

Hell, even if it wasn't the government's fault, it would be nature of black markets, rather than crypto currencies (the latter which is just a tool).

People on this post act if crime and black markets were invented by the schmeing Mr. John Bitcoin or something.

Lmao that's priceless. Sorry you gotta deal with this system. Medical care should always be free and accessible.
