After watching my little brother go into rehab and come out overweight and sluggish but clean after a Silk Road fueled drug stint, I sympathize with the actions of the government bodies in this case. Knowingly supplying the means to purchase drugs is abhorrent and wrong. That being said, Yankee is a martyr in a philosophical sense and I hope one day we can grant him a Presidential pardon. He is a necessary force in this Universe that has greatly fostered economic equal opportunity and efficiency. Someone had to do the dirty work of the early days of cryptocurrency advocacy.

It is not the obligation of the state to keep your little brother's nose out of a bag of shit. Sorry but until we all snap out of this FUCKING STUPID idea that prohibition works, and is not totally corrupt, and insanely violent, and profoundly wasteful of human life, we are doomed to perpetuate the cycle. Your brother is a junky get him help or let him be a junky. You think his being a junky entitles a paradigm of drug cartels, crooked banks, paramilitary terrorists, billion dollar black budgets, thug street violence, overflowing prisons, and fat cops and fat prison guards on fat pensions telling us they are keeping us safe, sorry your brother is his own problem, and I would rather he just OD'd and took himself out of the gene pool than justify all the disgusting human behavior that prohibition creates. The government isn't helping, they are just price support for the cartels and the enforcement biz. Wake the fuck up please. 42 years of war on drugs, ain't gonna win it, time to change.
