Don't Buy Shrooms Off the Dark Web
Published 3 years, 9 months ago
Description
Hey, I'm not going to say my name here because this is a real private deal. I mean, I guess it is private but you're going to tell everyone anyway. I just want people to know what to never do. I did the unthinkable and I've paid dearly for it. Oh hell, my name is Billy. I'm 22 years old and about 3 years ago I think I did the dumbest move I have ever done and I'm still paying for it.
When I was 19 my friend and I used to drink all of the time. I mean a lot. We were drinking for years and it was really getting kind of boring. Funny because we weren't even 21 yet. One night Hank, my friend whose dad named him after that country singer, said we should get some shrooms. Now, I had never done those before and I was thinking ok, what could it hurt?
"Where do you get those?" I asked him, sounding a little dumb.
"I get them off the web all of the time," he shrugged.
I really had no idea that he was doing psychedelic drugs like that. He didn't seem like that type but what did I know? He clicked a few buttons on his phone and told me to wait, that it will be about an hour and what do you know, an hour later there was a quick knock at the door. I followed him to see who could possibly deliver illegal drugs like that at the click of a button but no one was there. Not even a soul out on the street. It was really weird.
We did them and I won't go into too much detail here because I'm not sure how much i can say but I'll tell you it was so weird and amazing at the same time. The sky looked like I could pull one of the stars out of a piece of sparkling velvet. I wanted to eat each one. The lights were glowing and the houses all turned colors. Everything was much brighter and stranger. I also felt like I could fly. We just sat in the grass in the backyard watching the sky and tripping out over everything for hours until the next day when I finally fell asleep some time in the mid afternoon. I woke up with a small headache but feeling ok. I wanted more so I called but he wasn't home. I then checked around with other friends and found someone to sell them to me. It took a really long time to get there and the effects weren't even close to what Hank had.
"Hey, where did you get those shrooms?" I asked.
"Is that why you called? You want some already?" he laughed into the phone.
"Yeah, man I do. I tried some other ones and they just made me feel ill and weird."
"Oh no, don't do that. Hey, I can't order them for you but you have to download this software for your phone."
He went on and I did as he said then he gave me this ridiculously long website address that is so long I'm not even going to bother telling it to you nor would I dare because it's dangerous man. I copied the URL from my notepad to the new browser and it loaded up right away. When I logged it, it asked me for some private info I didn't have. It said I had to be 21 to order them and needed an ID. I was only 19. I didn't have an ID and why would a website selling illegal drugs want my ID for anyway? I didn't care. I ran into my brother's room and grabbed his ID then put in his info. It was stupid, I know. He was 22 though and sound asleep because he worked nights. I noticed the site only took crypto so I bought some with my birthday VISA gift card. I was actually surprised it took it. The transaction went fine and within 30 minutes there was a knock on the door.
Just like before at Hank's house, it was there really quickly. A lot faster than Joe Crackhead delivered the other batch. I went out back and chomped on a piece and laid back to enjoy the trip. For hours I laughed and had fun texting others and taking pictures things that really weren't there or as cool as I had thought they looked while taking the picture. This went on for a few days a week when I didn't have to work but then the unthinkable happened. Some guys in a suits came to the door. They asked to speak to my brother. I had no idea who they were, but as I was slightl
