The strength of drugs varies from batch to batch. Even the strength of the tablets in the same batch can vary. Illegal drugs do not have any quality control or safety checks. It might be that the drug that you think you are buying only forms small part of the product or is not even present at all. Illegal drugs are frequently made with other substances to bulk them out and increase the amount of money the seller makes.

Marsh, S. Youth workers warn of rise in drugs purchases through social media. Martin, J. After all, the market for drugs is notoriously inefficient. If what Paul told me was true, I wondered, could the dark web be creating a better functioning and more efficient drug market? For many dark-web sites, that software is Tor, originally developed by the US government to protect intelligence information.
And most of the sites conduct business in bitcoin, the cryptocurrency that allows for anonymous online payments. People may have previously bought or advertised drugs on non-dark websites like Craigslist, he said, but it was a tiny share of the market, with unsophisticated sellers and buyers. Silk Road, founded by Ross Ulbricht a. By the time Silk Road was shut down in October , about 1, vendors were selling on the site.
Since it shuttered, dozens of new bazaars have sprung up in its place, offering an exhilarating and terrifying array of products: prescription pills, meth, heroin, speed, crack, guns, stolen identities, gold, and erotica. Shopping on the dark web is easy. Tor works much like a conventional web browser.
You simply download it, open it, search for the name of an active market some require a referral , choose one, create a login, and you are ready to go. Some even post their refund and exchange policies. The websites are clean, well organized, and easy to navigate; there are icons for online support, shopping carts, and order status. Christin estimates there are about 9, different vendors on the dark web.
He and his coauthor, Kyle Soska, recently scraped data pdf on transactions and prices from 35 different drug bazaars between to , in order to see how the market had evolved post-Silk Road.
They observed that most vendors are casual dealers, selling relatively small amounts, and spend only a few months on a site. The dark web does make transactions safer. Thanks to the ratings systems, the product is more reliable and both sides are accountable.
That exposes the seller to exchange-rate risk, because bitcoin is an extremely volatile currency. Vendors are reduced to swapping even cruder hedging strategies on Reddit. Especially on certain products with thin margins.
A fluctuation can easily wipe out a profit. Finally, of course, there is one other big source of risk: the point where the virtual world of the dark web and the world of physical reality intersect. In other words, getting drugs delivered. Another Reddit user, VIadthePutin, described an equally ornate strategy to secure a safe delivery location called a drop address :.
A quick run through on how I pick some of my drops:. VIadthePutin says he works in property management. The District Recovery is a treatment community that has partnerships with Orange County rehabs and offers sober living homes to all clients who need it.
Call The upper layer contains all web pages indexed by search engines like Google, the District Recovery website , for example. Beneath the surface, the deep web contains all pages search engines are unable to access. Pages that are accessible via passwords, work intranets, Amazon and Netflix pages, and your Messenger inbox are all examples of deep web content. To access any of these pages, you would need to input the precise URL, or click a link taking you there from elsewhere in the deep web.
So, the upper two layers of the internet might not all be entirely visible, but the content is not inflammatory. Just like the deep web, the dark web is not indexed by or accessible through search engines. For drug dealers and anyone looking to buy narcotics, this is an asset, even if it makes access slightly inconvenient. So, the first key difference between the deep web and the dark web is that the latter tends to host contentious material. The other key variation between these two non-indexed areas of the web is the means of access.
Tor has many legitimate use cases for those seeking privacy online, or for those prevented from accessing sites due to censorship in any given country. When you use the Tor browser, your web page requests are routed through a sequence of proxy servers. This smokescreen ensures that your IP address is untraceable. While this method ensures your anonymity, it makes the browsing experience sluggish. Although dark web search engines exist, they find it hard to keep up with the continuously shifting landscape.
Grams was an early example, now superseded by Kilos , a search engine offering almost 70, listings from 7 different marketplaces. The first key difference is in the naming structure. Rather than ending with the usual. Beyond this, sites use a scrambled naming structure. Dream Market has a slightly shorter though still randomized URL eajwlvm3z2lcca The ease with which people can buy and sell illegal drugs online is thanks to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.
Despite all of the anonymizing features making up the dark web, using your credit card to buy drugs leaves an obvious and easily traceable footprint.
