Totally agree on decriminalizing drugs. However, if you think that will put them out of biz, think again. Start with the RUS govt which is a straight-up kleptocracy, a trans-national crime syndicate, which has literally stolen 90%+ of the nations wealth into the hands of a few dozen oligarchs (start reading up a bit on Simeon Mogilevich). Their biggest problem is laundering money, and they are exporting authoritarianism. We are currently under Asymmetric Warfare attack, and it is on all fronts. Meanwhile, there is no govt agency FINCEN, NSA, or otherwise that is authorized or even GAF in the slightest about any marginal person. Your propposed threat model is just silly in the real world. What, some agent with terabytes of data streaming in is going to do what, find some trans person buying a dildo and send a local cop out to bust their taillight? Seriously, they've all got better stuff to do. None of us are that important, unless we start using those cards to smurf funds for terrorists or foreign powers -- THEN we WANT them to notice. BTW, if you think it is bad here, go check out the rights marginalized people have in RUS or similar authoritarian regimes. What is being fought for is the right to NOT have such an authoritarian govt here.
