    came onto this thread thinking about just that deeper-sadness those were the days

    we also used to be able to mail order psychedelic truffles from the netherlands due to some legal gray area or something? Idk we did it a bunch and never got arrested. Checked a few years ago if this was still possible and it’s not deeper-sadness they just don’t want the kids to have any fun these days

      Had a high school buddy that went to the next college over that their whole floor sophomore year would order laundry lists of psychedelics and party drugs and get them delivered to the student mail room without issue.

      Then as an added bonus they realized 10 years later the absolute crumbs of leftover bitcoins they had to use to buy them were worth thousands of dollars.

        I so wish I kept track of my bitcoin. There’s probably a wallet somewhere that at one point was worth quite a large amount. But it was always just drug money to me and silk road shut down, then I stopped doing large amounts of drugs and it sort of became useless to me. Then a number of years later there’s this huge bitcoin craze…
