Purchasing drugs in an open market is quite risky, but you can easily buy it online with full encryption and security making them almost impossible for law enforcement to track.
Though online drug market has a very small share in the sale of illicit drugs, they are growing fast and changing the scenario.
There are various online drug marts like Silk Road 3.0, Darknet, AlphaBay,Crypto, Dream Market ,Agora Marketplace, which will easily supply all illegal and banned drugs to your doorsteps. Online drug markets are part of the “dark web”, sites which are only accessible through browsers such as Tor, a highly encrypted browser.
According to the Global Drug Survey, an online study, the turnover has risen from an estimated $15m-17m in 2012 to $150m-180m in 2015. And the share of American drug-takers who have got high with the help of a website jumped from 8% in 2014 to 15% this year.
A secure dark web service like Sigaint, an email provider, is used by buyers and sellers to contact each other, and encryption software such as Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). They use bitcoin, a digital currency that can be exchanged for the old-fashioned sort and that offers near-anonymity during a deal.
The Economist has studied the research and extracted some of the data from the resulting 1.5 terabytes of information for around 360,000 sales between December 2013 and July 2015 on Agora, Evolution and Silk Road 2.
In total the deals were worth around $50m. Marijuana was the most popular product, with around 38,000 sales. Legal drugs such as oxycodone and diazepam (Valium) were also popular.
"Some of the products cater to niche interests. You can consume “with a good conscious [sic]”, promises one vendor for his “ethically sourced” THC chocolate, which costs 13% more than the ordinary, immoral stuff. “Conflict-free” cocaine is also available for the humanitarian (or delusional) drug-taker. And “social” coke—a less pure version sold at a discount of 5-25%—is aimed at buyers who want to look lavish on a budget."
