    He facilitated the sale of many dangerous drugs and weapons. You cant run a website without rules and claim ignorance. In the same vein, I think the Purdue family and executives of that company deserve to be in jail for life as well.

      It definitely had rules. Purdue pushed drugs on people while misinforming them and doctors, and did kickbacks and all other sorts of corruption. Weapon sales I’m kinda mixed on, probably not the best idea. But absolutely fuck off with that drug war bullshit. If people want to buy drugs and overdose on them they should be free to do so. Drugs aren’t dangerous, lack of information is.

        Unenforced rules aren’t the same. I know there are libertarians that think his incarceration was unjustified but they ignore all the bad things silk road did. And drugs are definitely dangerous. Back then you could get anything, there were listings for black market weapons. Don’t try to gaslight me or the rest of Lemmy by trying to make this man a martyr. There are actually innocent people in jail now that need the attention more.

          Drugs are not dangerous. Misusing drugs is dangerous. If you’re using clean, tested drugs at a dose that’s documented thoroughly to be safe, where exactly is the danger?

            Drugs aren’t dangerous. My brother died of something other than opiate overdose. Morons everywhere.
