oh shut up, all of you...
This started out as a thread with some merit, i.e. that caution should practiced in the scene, and that the words "I'm a Bluelighter" are not a guarentee for trust.
But alas it has turned to shit now that everyone and their dog has chimed in with "the facts" about law enforcement in this country.
SHUT UP! None of you know, and those that do know aren't talking *big wave to the real police*.
Enough with the guesses and broad generalisations. Australia is a huge country, or rather it's a collection of states, each with their own systems. What goes for Victoria does not apply for Queensland, and vice versa, and same even for different cities within the same state.
In some states police DO start investigations from the bottom up, busting the lowest of the low, the retail purchaser, and working up from there. In other places they concentrate on the higher levels, but usually they find these by, once again, monitoring the average user. Sometimes, in the very same states, they will switch around and do the opposite, if there is political pressure.
All of the above has happened, and will happen again. Right now the chances of being busted buying a pill at an event in Melbourne are low, and the chances in Perth might be high. And all of this could change, and everything has it's time under the sun.
Just use commonsense. And, as we keep saying here at Bluelight: if you don't know then please do us all a favour and shut the fuck up.
