Fort Bragg is the one they're renaming because of all the um... ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ drugs and human trafficking, right?

It's named after a confederate general, but yeah, probably a little A, a little B

Dark web prices can get as low as $40/g. Usually around 50 tho. Cheaper than what we were paying years ago.
