The actual Silk Road goes south maybe a little to the east down Wayne Rd. And then south, south west curving all the way to Dakota and to Mongolia or China. It means the businesses aren’t legitimate, like anything can go on in them. Anything political about smoking is organized by the ones producing or selling it or was protested years ago and it stuck in people’s heads. Anything smoking related is like Silk Road. It’s also clothing and printing/copyright infringement related. Same with patents or anything. But weapons are sort of rare, but maybe not at the same time. It use to be more of an outdoor market or like flea market or Gibraltar trade center. This is why pot smoking still went on if it was entirely illegal. But it existed more with it medicinal. It’s also like a night thing. But shit it started in 2003. If no drugs were already being sold then no one smuggled them. Maybe it’s because different drugs were used like pills or different stimulants like MDMA or hallucinogens.

This is a long time ago now. It turned into a tech market, and pre 2014 or whenever chemicals and stuff for skincare or soaps and stuff. Without school and certain government or banking it gets really uncertain, this internet tech game thing is entirely new.

The drug Silk Road one, use to be here but it’s in like southeast Europe coming from India areas. But it does go almost around the whole world but roads do end at some point.
