    How much did he pay online ? We need to know the ins and out’s of this.Will this online system put local dealers out of business. Look, lets face it , drugs being delivered to RTE staff is hardly a new development. Besides the whole world is aware of Silk Road ect.I don’t really see what a report on RTE is going to achieve other than give a tutorial on how to shop online.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it the “deep web” and not the “dark net.” I thought the dark net was a group of computers on a private connection where as the deep net is for sites such as the one shown which will not come up through ordinary search engines.

    It’s the same thing. You need TOR to access dark net. To access a site on the dark net the address should end with .onion

    Assured quality, good prices, large variety of strains with info on each of potency and type of high, expedient discreet delivery and top notch customer service. Also many sites sell medical cannabis in tinture or resin form, far cheaper and exactly the same as Staivex. The whole system works on integrity and reputation so the sellers cant be nicer to you as bad reviews are bad for business.
