    Fucking Tulli is always making a huge deal out of anything they manage to do.

    This is one of the Finnish market places. One. And for instance I used international ones when I needed to use them, not Finnish ones. The Finnish ones are tiny as well.

    I remember when they genuinely proclaimed they have ended the import of benzodiazepines because of a shipment they caught, because they also got a guy.

    Ridiculous. It didn’t even impact the pricing, let alone shut down the trade lol.

    Whoever thinks the drug prohibition is worth it is a genuine moron. Or just ignorant. Usually a bit of both.

    Everytime I hear the words “dark web”, I feel I’m listening to am radio news or something designed to scare pensioners. Oooh, spooky cybercrime.

    That said, fuck narcotics dealers.

      Why do you hate doctors and bartenders?

        The subset of doctors that overprescribe narcotics because they’re getting kickbacks from the drug companies? Fuck 'em. The rest are fine :)

        I’m not aware of any bartenders selling narcotics (using the commonly assumed definition of the word) – unless you’re being intentionally obtuse by using the medical definitiion which would include alcohol. In particular, do you refer to your bartender as your narcotics dealer?

          I don’t refer to anyone with something as ridiculous as “a narcotics dealer”.

          The subset of doctors that overprescribe narcotics

          So you know they all have the power to prescribe narcotics, and they use that power, most using it responsibly, yes? You don’t feel that a majority of doctors are a problem, despite them having the capacity to give even small children powerful narcotics? Do you disagree with this?

          So it’s not the capacity to deal narcotics which you’re objecting to. It’s the capacity combined with a lack of morality and actively doing bad things. Do you disagree with this?

          Alcohol is in every sense of the word a narcotic. That’s not me being obtuse, it’s you using a word with the intent of it having a certain connotation, and you wish for that connotation to be faaaaar away from a thing it literally describes, even though that thing is the most narcotic of them all, which is something you don’t even understand, because you don’t even know what “narcotic” means, prescriptively.

          So it’s not actually inebriation or the dealing of narcotics youre opposed to. You’re opposed to people who deal narcotics and have bad morals. Do all illicit drug traders have bad morals?

          If you said yes, you’re gonna need to read up on the war on drugs. If you did, that’s only because you’ve been programmed to. And it would be much more beneficial for society, drugs users, drinkers, people who are sober, the world over, if we stop it with this asinine “war on drugs” which itself is propping up drug cartels and the crimes that follow.

          So if you support the prohibition of drugs, you’re literally supporting “the narcotix dealers” you’re referring to.
