1 year ago?? This is great but criminals are still profiting because the drugs are bought from the darknet , which come from… criminals
Still a good thing tho
I don’t think that it’s bad to sell drugs but to say they’re taking money out of the hands of gangs isnt really true, I’d argue it ends up in the hands of even stronger arms at the end of the day. My point, i think, is that a government entity or contractor should be the ones manufacturing and supplying these substances, not international criminals and drug lords, so that they can be properly taxed and funds from these can be used to provide treatment programs, food supply, education or housing , as a few examples
