Imperialism and illicit drugs commonly go together. However, with Taliban opium eradication efforts in full effect, heroin is in short supply, and experts fear that a new fentanyl crisis could be brewing in the US.

    ya know, I’ve looked into it. one of the biggest problems with bots is that they have to be hosted from somewhere. that’s my first hiccup.

    I’d LOVE to make this a bot, but I don’t know where I’d host it from.

      You can get a cheap VPS with a couple cores and some RAM for less than $5.

        can I run it from inside a docker container?

          The project has a dockerfile to create the Docker image with the required LAMP stack and python dependencies.

          I’ve heard it’s very unreliable and people have had their VPS deleted without warning.
