Theory on why N is becoming harder to import.

[Jrmull1993]

Disclaimer: This post is just a theory of mine, don't take it as fact.

I learned from a co-worker today whose son is Police K9 handler, his drug detection K9 was forced into early retirement now that our state has legalized marijuana.

Because a dog can't "unlearn" it's training, they must be retired by law, otherwise they run the risk of the dog indicating a "hit" on a now legal substance. (Source)

That got me thinking, with the United States and some EU member countries now in more serious talks about legalizing marijuana, perhaps they are training their new K9s to detect other illicit substances in lieu of marijuana and its deritivies.

A police K9 trained solely in narcotics detection costs an average $22,000 in the US. If marijuana was legalized, the costs incurred by federal enforcement agencies to retire and procure an entire new "fleet" of K9s would be an astronomical cost.

So, if these agencies are in fact training their new K9 recruits to detect other substances, maybe barbiturates are a new narcotic they are now sniffing out?

I never knew that K9s could detect barbiturates, until I read this article. Being that "N" is a barbiturate, my theory would explain why seizures have seen to become increasingly common.

Let me know what y'all think...

I think it is more likely that they are profiling packages and since it is directly linked to multiple deaths law enforcement is willing to dump more resources into it.

I see another reason. Some members keep posting the following details in the forum:

countries of sources, details about shipping and customs declaration, details about the packaging, details about the N bottles and label, what is written on the label, conversation about how to open the cap, photos of the bottle and bottle cap, in which country they received N. We know that this forum is monitored. The authorities are very grateful for every detail posted here.

All this also applies to SN, drugs and other things that are hard to get.

I've seen some articles linking it to suicides, but none whatsoever in the past year associating barbiturates with malice acts.

This is very true the old darknetmarkets subreddit prohibited discussing such details for that exact reason.

While they might not be used in murders a suicide is an unnatural death which falls under LE purview. Similar to how deepweb heroin dealers are a priority of law enforcement, especially if their product is linked to an OD. I'm sure some people don't dispose of packaging either which helps police.
