This was when I was in college/just out of college too. Most of the guys I knew who became dealers were students and concert promoters and most of the customers were hippy and rave kids. This group was into Bitcoin early on because of silk road. But a lot of this stuff predates Bitcoin and was sold on the clearnet as plant food and bath salts. That's where the term bath salts came from. It wasn't necessarily one cathinone, it was just like this isn't for human consumption, it's just bath salts. The stuff would be shipped here either hidden in other objects or just mislabeled as common chemicals. I only know of one guy who got a package confiscated, but he was using a fake ID to rent mailboxes so wasn't a big deal. Oh yeah, fake IDs were big back then too. I'm in my mid/late 30s now and I wonder what kind of devious shit the kids are getting up to these days. Anyway, the paranoia from being involved in all of this was part of what lead me to leave the country to clear my head. The funny thing with that is I almost got involved in the same shit in Australia because I met this meth dealer who had heard about methylone but didn't have a source. I was talking to someone back home about setting up some deals that we'd route through the US but I figured that was a bad idea and I didn't want to go to prison in another country. Anyway, things chilled out and I'm just a dude working a blue collar job and I eat THC gummies every now and then. Speaking of THC gummies, wow, marijuana has been legal in the US since 2018. I was in that industry for a couple years but my business was too small to survive. Thanks for reading rambling thoughts as I drink my morning coffee.
