can we talk about caffeine then what are you thoughts about buying caffeine with bitcoin ?
It is up to the individual to decide whether he want to use drugs or not. What he wants to do with his body, is his concern, and nobody else's. And the main reason why there is so much demand for drug dark-markets is due to the fact that all the soft-drugs as well as the hard-drugs are banned by the governments. Remove the ban, and the demand will automatically decline.
Let me preface this with the fact that I support the shit out of drugs. Natural substances are here for our consumption.
If the people want to buy substances with Bitcoin they can do this, it is their right to partake in open trade.
So the people should be selling good goods on the internet and make humanity thrive.
Also, tea and coffee are drugs. As are coca leaves but do we forbid Bolivian people BTC and insist that the leaves that are sold in local markets and by street vendors are sold in USD rather than allow them to use their smart phone to pay BTC?
Buying drugs, hookers or anything you want really unless making other lives miserable is perfectly fine.
People on this thread, and i can't believe how many!!, saying you should not even mention such a possibility due to making a bad image for bitcoin make me want to vomit. Shame on you unenlightened and selfish sheep!
Drugs aren't bad, at least not all of them. It's always a question of moderation.
[...blah, blah, blah...]
What some people just do not get: Before there were drug laws, there was no
drug culture. Libertarians, hippies, and Drug-Warriors all share the same blind spot here.
Indeed, once upon a time, there was the practical opposite of a drug culture. Before there were drug laws—before there was a drug
problem—Western societies were what $YEAR would consider ultra-arch-paleo-conservative. Yes, you could then buy some heavy-duty drugs at the drug store; that’s why it’s called the drug store! Yet anybody who became patently dysfunctional from addiction to cocaine, opiates, or for that matter,
alcohol would be mercilessly shamed, shunned, humiliated, and outcast from civil society.
Addiction was not (and is not) an “illness”; it was (and is) a character flaw. Those who overtly demonstrated such flaws could go die in a hole, as far as sane people were concerned.
The upshot is that other than alcohol, most intoxicating drugs were used only for medicinal purposes by most people. I think drunks were more common, but they were universally despised.
This principle also goes to show exactly why some drugs are socially and legally tolerated, and others aren’t. Caffeine and nicotine don’t make you stupid—quite to the contrary, in fact. NASA’s Mission Control room during the Apollo missions was always strewn with coffee cups and overflowing ashtrays. That was a part of literally going to the Moon; and I guarantee that not one of those guys ever “did drugs” in the sense people mean that—not on the job, and not anytime! Alcohol has higher abuse potential; but the vast majority of people can consume moderate amounts of alcohol without ever becoming dysfunctional. Of course, I am only stating the obvious. What I just said is clearly understood by anybody whose brain is not damaged from doing drugs.
Disgust for intoxication has been common to every functional society. Fascinating fact: The word
amethyst derives from the ancient Greek words meaning, “not drunk”. The Greeks enjoyed wine, but they abhorred drunkenness. They mixed their wine with water, believing undiluted wine to be a poison. There was also a widespread belief that amethyst stones had magical powers to prevent intoxication; and some people carved wine goblets out of amethyst, in the hope that this would let them drink without getting drunk. Fancy that, an active desire to drink without drunkenness! Contrast that healthy attitude with today’s popular desire for “altered consciousness”.
In modern times, the cultural glorification of intoxication started in the interwar period. This occurred as part of a cultural upheaval in both Europe and America; but I think it was worst in America, due to Prohibition. In the speakeasies, whiskey (illegal) and cocaine (legal) were the intoxicants of choice. For the first time in the history of this civilization, youths developed a widespread notion that it was, like, totally awesome to go out and get
smashed. The 1920s had 1960s counterculture in miniature; and with the seed of a drug culture having taken root, it only took time to grow and spread. Drug Warriors tried to fix the problem with more prohibitions, leading only to predictable results.
As for druggies: People who glorify, condone, or even excuse states of extreme or chronic intoxication can’t and shouldn’t be helped. For this reason, I fully support instant legalization for
most drugs (except marijuana and hallucinogens)—
combined with the exclusion of known drug users from all health insurance, welfare, and assistance with food and housing. Drug abuse would quickly prove itself to be a strictly self-limiting problem.
Druggies, don’t whine. I am supporting your freedom to kill yourselves! Others, please join me in fixing the
social and cultural problem with its only cure: Unlimited cold contempt for people whose idea of “fun” is asinine self-destruction. Drug abuse will only decrease and decease when scum who do drugs are once again “mercilessly shamed, shunned, humiliated, and outcast from civil society.” I am doing my part.
Bitcoin shows no mercy for those who lose their private keys. You have ultimate power over your own, and ultimate responsibility for yourself. Mess up, and you
will lose everything—nobody can help you. There seems to be a lesson there.
You have only one body. You have only one brain. Mess those up intentionally, and you
will lose everything. Have a nice trip! ☠
