I have been following this story and I can’t believe someone would be so dumb to talk to a reporter and provide all of this information. First the Tik Tokers and now this. Ugh 🤦🏼‍♀️

Dumb or they just don't care. They got their stash and everyone else can go to hell.

Probably both. A lot of people don't understand why this is considered gray. It is very weird. I feel like if people were buying anything else drug related not from a pharmacy they would not be running to talk to a reporter about it.

 

[catdog]

even made mention of STG 🤦‍♂️ is the reporter surprised they got blocked access after requesting more info? Haha

Some people are just plain stupid and love to brag. then they wonder why some people dont like to share vendors.

Can't believe Amy Spencer even posed for a photograph. Midwest Marie sucks too.

I see dumb stuff on Reddit daily but this is really next level. SIGH

They’re able to talk about it openly on TT and buy from websites with credit cards. It’s understandable why they’d think it’s NBD.

I can’t even read the story because it pisses
me off so much.

 

[Teamaker]

This makes me angry.

 

[Dapeptide]

Now I see why people hoard.

So frustrating. Even China is slowing down the inflow ad pausing a bit.
