Theres evidence on SR of people importing substantially more than 49 pills which in some cases are for small scale dealing. I suppose the reasoning behind taking the risk is that an average pill in Australia contains no more than 60-70mgs of MDMA (if it contains MDMA at all) and costs $xx per pill where as a lot of EU pills are pushing lab tested 200mgs MDMA and costs $x.
Id also say the average person importing from SR are ordering personal amounts + some for friends so their personal becomes free, I wouldnt call this dealing per say.
The truth of the matter is the quality and price of drugs in Australia is a joke, I personally dont fall for the often repeated "but we live on an island so far away so that's why drugs are expensive and shit", we as Australians are apathetic at the best of times and don't really stand up and complain about anything really, drugs included.
Although the whole SR phenomenon is fascinating I wish it would just go away, people have been importing personal amounts through the mail for years without any problems until SR reared it's ugly head and spoiled it for the ones who arnt stupid enough to order 49 pills, brag about the amount of drugs they "got through" and abuse LE on SR.
I actually joined SR to voice my opinion about how fucking stupid these people were for bragging and how much intel their posts were giving LE ie: packaging techniques, locations that easily be narrowed down to the city posted from and to, amounts ordered and what drugs, this lead to them bragging even more!!!. Funny enough their all closing the Aussie threads now and starting to be careful about what is posted since a LOT of orders are not arriving, specially from countries such as the Netherlands. The damage has been done now though, and a reasonably safe, cheap and successful way of getting drugs has been wrecked by SR and its members.
SR is full of kids and people who's experience with buying drugs at best, is scoring a stick down the local pub and closing this thread now would be like closing the gates after the cattle has escaped.
