Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, an online Bitcoin-based marketplace, was arrested in 2013. The authorities primarily targeted him due to the actions of Silk Road's users, who frequently utilized the site for drug transactions. Ulbricht was eventually sentenced to life in prison, highlighting potentially severe problems in the justice system.
The case touches many issues, ranging from drug policy to privacy rights to unfair sentencing.
In this episode, I spoke with Ross' mother, Lyn. We discussed the case, her son's imprisonment, and how the government is overstepping its bounds.

The Drug Classroom (TDC) is dedicated to providing the type of drug education everyone should have. Drugs are never going to leave our society and there has never been a society free from drugs.
Therefore, it only makes sense to provide real education free from propaganda.
TDC doesn't advocate drug use. Rather, we operate with the intention of reducing the harm some substances can bring.
Feel free to ask questions!
