The purchase of drugs through darknet markets should be fully decriminalized

r/

I personally think purchasing substances from darknet markets offers people a way to obtain their chosen substances for personal use in a manner that is arguably safer than street transactions.

I believe it is completely unjust and immoral to imprison these people for having substances shipped to their address for personal consumption, even narcotics.

I believe anyone over 18 should have the freedom to acquire these substances through DNMs conveniently and use them without facing any legal repercussions, provided it remains a personal choice.

I believe it is wrong and an overreach of authority for law enforcement to obtain warrants and enter someone’s private property solely because they are acquiring drugs for personal use. I think such actions completely violate an individuals right to privacy. While I support efforts to target dealers and suppliers, I strongly believe that all DNM purchases for personal use should be exempt from any legal pursuit.

If drug packages are intercepted at customs, I think that the substances should simply be confiscated and disposed of without escalating to legal action or using them as bait in controlled deliveries to entrap recipients.

    If it was legal why would they need to use the dark net?

    Sounds like legalization with missing steps

    This shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion but it really is.

    Decriminalization has proven benefits and is supported by police and medical experts alike.

    “I believe it should be legal. Why? Because they want it”

    The problem is that the people on drugs become a danger to those who aren’t. People on drugs are unpredictable and violent, especially when having withdrawals.

    I used to feel this way about purchasing ancient occult scriptures through darknet markets but then I used one to open a portal to hell and it’s been HFS ever since

    I have no problem legalizing drugs for recreational use.

    But you should not be eligible for taxpayer funded or subsidized medical care.
