PROJECT IS COMPLETED
Project period: June 1, 2017 to December 1, 2018

With the rise of the cryptomarkets for illicit drugs, a growing academic interest in dark web drug distribution has followed. However, online drug distribution is not isolated to the dark web as services on the clear web historically have offered a variety of substances and continue to do so. Additionally to the researched open markets on e.g. research chemicals, legal highs, and prescription medicine, we have identified a rise in the use of social media platforms for distribution of illicit drugs.

Little is known on how widespread such selling is, to what extent different social media platforms are involved, or which modi operandi are used.
