Because the police will totally arrest every single user and not focus on the high-volume buyers / sellers. /s

I do not think it's really that clear.

Sometimes the state apparatus is precisely the one committing the most heinous crimes. (with impunity!)

This is a confusing statement since you /s

You don't need a address to send mail - sellers.

Personal use can be huge amounts - buyers

I can't see many dealers using dark markets above plausible personal use amounts since you get caught importing dealable quantities you are screwed, dark market or not (And the mail system will get a % of buyers). You might have a $1000 per week habit or be a $1000 per week dealer. Who's to say?

Until you look at an officer the wrong way. Or their friend. Or someone else with the ear of the boys in blue.
