I'm trying to kick an opiate habit and seeing that I can buy them on Instagram is not helping

If it helps, there's a 99.9% chance they just take your money and not send any drugs

That's exactly why I've never actually tried one of these things. I had someone on Reddit message me once and give me a dude's telegraph info and it was so obviously a scam.

The dude asked what I wanted and I said something really vague and he immediately said "okay how many" without clarifying. Then when I didn't respond, he sent a screenshot of allll his notifications from messages he was getting from "happy customers"
