Buying Drugs Online

More or Less

Available for over a year

How does the price and purity of drugs sold online differ from what is typically sold on the street? More people are buying illegal drugs online than ever before. Twenty-five percent of respondents to the Global Drug Survey 2015, the biggest worldwide drugs survey, said they had purchased drugs on the internet for the first time in the past year. That's despite the closure of the Silk Road website. Jamie Bartlett explored the market for his book The Dark Net.
