You should be reading the deep thoughts available at:

Here's a sample from their latest:
Three main risks present themselves for Dropgangs:
Cryptocurrency tracing: Since all payments are conducted with cryp-
tocurrency, the use of “Privacy Coins” has established itself within the
Dropgangs. However, customers usually only have less private currencies
available. This requires a functional exchange infrastructure between less
and more private cryptocurrencies. This vector of attack is currently
exploited by law enforcement.
• Communication tracing: Dropgangs necessarily operate infrastructure to
keep in contact with their customers. Law enforcement can potentially
identify and track this infrastructure to find the operators. However,
operators usually have access to sufficient anonymization technology and
are well trained in using it.
• Surveillance of potential dead drop locations: Potential dead drop locations
can be identified and surveilled by law enforcement to find those serving
them. This poses a number of problems for law enforcement. First, the
number of potential dead drop locations is very high which requires a lot
of resources to surveil to even catch anybody by pure luck. Second, it is
hard to distinguish customer and supplier at this moment if the dead drop
operator uses basic protective tradecraft.
It is likely that the black market will solve the cryptocurrency tracing risk
soon. Technology in this field is developing quickly. It is likely that either new
exchange methods are found, like peer-to-peer decentralized on-chain swaps,
or that additional privacy layers are added to less private cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies like Beam and Grin both provide a reasonable amount of
privacy while also supporting atomic on-chain swaps between them and widely
accepted cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The other two risks are already handled well by professional operators in the
field.

There is a novel that addresses some of these issues for black market operators. I would personally however prefer all drug dealers to be shot on sight but alas we are not there yet.

Pro-drug hedonists want people to have drugs so they won't be miserable - even if they die.
Anti-drug fascists want people to be miserable and enslaved, so they emphasize torture and prosecutorial over-reach, even though their sadism weakens the state that arms them and the nation that gave them birth.
While the pro-drug and anti-drug fanatics descend further into insanity, society deteriorates. When the inevitable crisis causes a noticeable breakdown of civilization, it will be painful, but at least the normies will be forced to log in and smell the ashes.

The world is so fucked, might as well have some fun before going down, but there's still a small glimmer of hope, idk.
Drugs will never stop existing, better to just learn to live with them.

I know cyberpunk is all about drugs and vice, but at some point you have to start separating fiction from reality. Nihilism and drugs are stuff that's cool to read about, not something you would unironically want in your life but you are still a fag if you support the war on drugs.

Somewhat true, it applies 100% to opiates while other drugs sometimes differ from meds like nootropics that most scientists use only in that ones are prohibited and others are not. And i'm not even talking about the use of drugs in combat.

That's a rather ironic statement, you do know that many every day things can affect your mood, drugs just do it more strongly, drugs aren't that bad, don't swallow the state's propaganda.

The states propaganda has been doing the exact opposite except in the case of a few 'kosher' drugs - i.e. alcohol, nicotine, caffiene, etc. - which don't encourage dissolution of the state's culture or the questioning of it's values.
Remember that the first victims of the war 'on' drugs (which has now devolved into working with cartels) were the psychedelic/entheogenic family of drugs.

Am I the only one who read Brave New World, pointing out how drug is a very basic and strong way to control people?
Television is drug, video games are drugs, fast-food is drug etc…
To have a free mind is to let these go. Because by facing reality, you'll find the answer to your existential crisis, certainly not by running from it.
Yeah, everything is collapsing. But is that the most important? Should our material possession be the absolute measurement of our happiness, of our freedom? Do our lives on this earth matter that much? etc..
How do you want to answer these questions if you're not actively thinking about them, and drown yourself in dopamine. Stop following what society have prepared as a road for you, and try everything. I mean, it's not like you have anything to lose, especially if you don't have children.
The more need you have, the less free you are. If you can live on nearly nothing, it makes you very strong. But that's hard to achieve. The best way to do that is to have an actual goal to pursue, justifying this.

Anon, you're playing word games. Most people understand "drugs" to be a chemical which you ingest or inject to produce some effect on your body. When you start labeling everything as "drugs", the word dosn't mean anything anymore, and it's harder to talk about.
How about a different word for those things you listed? How about "degeneracy"? Shitposting on imageboards is degeneracy btw

Degeneracy implies lack of balance. If you're sleeping 8 hours at night, eating correctly, and getting some regular exercise, there's no harm to play some video games or whatever. The problem with so many people who preach anti-$THING here is they automatically assume everyone else also isn't capable of balance because they have personally failed at it. Obviously they are heavily biased…

Well operators, I for one support the cryptoarchist cypherpunk future. Support your local blackmarket today. I am looking forward to a decentrailized peer to peer market like OpenBazzar taking over.
I can't wait until we can buy everyday items like office supplies p2p with crypto on escrowed and arbitrated markets without government interference.
If I wasn't in a legally risky position right now, and could afford the liability, I would be selling brouzouf/bitcoin/prepaid visas/gold on DNMs.

Neurotransmitters "imbalance" hypothesis, their ability to "control" your brain and similar stuff has been proven to be false long time ago.
However too much of something is still a little problem:
