Ending the WOD will move us from having organized crime producing drugs to sleazy outfits trying to get rich quick. I don't want to understate what a massive improvement it will be because you'll be buying from someone afraid of going to jail, but it's not like Bayer is going to start selling heroin again. You'll still often be buying drugs from people who are maliciously stupid.

As far as I know, the marijuana rush hasn't created a trend of middlemen cutting weed with oregano and then making up for it with a little fentanyl.

Sleazy doesn't imply deceitful. Black markets set a tone of little enforcement and no recourse, since participants are already criminals. This encourages negative-sum games.

Oddly enough, Silk Road 1 & 2 were more effective at QA than street goods due to a customer/merchant ranking system similar to Amazon's.

I'm kinda shocked that the State hasn't already banned 3D printers and desktop CNC mills. I mean... you can make almost anything ^^GASP^^ ... OMG, the horror, won't somebody please think of the children???

It really is absurd how so many people want to continue with this ridiculous war on inanimate objects, when the problem is almost always people.
