Hiyall from a newbie to this site (but not the concepts of fun freedom and fun).
It's clear that we pay way too much for pills here (Australia), and even this varies depending of the area, city or states you're in.
Looking at other topics within bluelight, the price we pay is way over that paid in other countries.
While I do accept that there are legal, geographical and logistical influences that must make them more expensive here, I don't belive the end price (regardless of the quantity-vs-price arguement) here is at all justified by the abovementioned 'logistics'.
It seems more that greed is more of an influence to this than any of the above issues.
If person x pays an amount for 100(or 1,000)pills, they will want to cover their initial outlay, cover any costs incured (travel, sweat, marketing, fear etc) & then make a healthy profit.
I have no problem with this as a concept, but in Australia, is it that the 'wholesaler' is charging too much in the first place, or is that the 'distributor' is asking too much, or are we all too greedy (for money), or needy (for pills) that we self regulate ourselves to acceptance this?
Can we not give ourselves a fairer go here, either from the top (dear wholesaler, shit, if you did drop your prices, imagaine how many more you'd move), the middle (dear distributor, as above, not only would your sales pick-up, you'd be able to more pick & choose your clients, thereby protecting your 'business'), or, more importantly, the most powerful player in this equasion, you & I!
What would happen if we ALL (or at least those of us that care enough), decided to offer say $5.00 less each time one is offered, everyone out there knows how it'd move prices (& quickly) if enough people did this.
To agree it'd work & to actulally DO something are 2 very different acts, with 2 very different outcomes.
How would it work for you, 2 people offering nice pills, one at $5.00 (or more) less, I know who I'd buy from, & the same next time.
And again to 'dear middleman' how much more comfortable is it to be carrying dollars as opposed to pills you're having trouble moving? all because someone else is offering them for less, also what are people going to think when the other is sold out, & you're sticking to your price?
What about next time who are they gonig to approach first?
We're not at the bottom of the world, nor at the bottom of thinking, so how would it work if we did something proactive about not paying for fun as though we were at the bottom of the 'pecking order'.
One final point, is it not supporting too many negative values to not do anything?
Shit, if wholesalers, middleman &/or users don't read this sort of stuff, I'll chew my own cud.
