No but most suppliers are and if the users aren't removed from the situation, we will continue to get suppliers: supply-vs-demand all over again.

My college supplier buys it from a guy, who buys it from another goy, who homegrows his stuff. It's a peaceful if illegal business.

Answer me this, before the conversation goes further: what is bad about using drugs, beyond their being illegal, and beyond problems started due to illegality?

I'm buying cheap shoes and clothes all the time and really can't be arsed to background-check where exactly my model of Nike or Adidas was manufactured.

I guess it's highly likely that I have owned (or even still own) at least one product that was manufactured in a sweatshop. I think it's equally likely that the same applies to you.

So welcome to the club, we are both supporters of child labor. What now, suicide?
