Darkweb Markets - An Introduction to Drug Aquisition

I've personally never used a darkweb market, however some research was warranted and after some heavy reading i now think they are extremely important to drug users, here's a, not so short, post to get you started




















My research focus went to the acquisition of psychedelics, since that's the only use i imagine myself needing, i won't go into any details regarding guns, fraud or illegal porn

I am a user, why should i use the deepweb?

- You know what you are getting

Since the classical psychedelics are safe, the greatest risk associated with their use is the potential for being missold something else.

The quality and variety of the drugs on the deep web can’t be matched. The traditional drug trade suffers from many problems. Street dealers are at the low end of the chain and after the drugs have thousands of miles, they very little say in quality or type of the drugs. This leaves most buyers with low quality and few options when it comes to drugs. The logistics and price of moving the drugs makes this problem a hard to solve.

Contrary to street-level dealing, misselling rarely happens on the deep web marketplaces. If you're buying from a vendor with hundreds or thousands of positive reviews, you can be confident you're getting what you asked for.  In digital black markets of the deep web, drugs are sold on a more individual basis and thus the consumer can act more on his presence. The competition of a global marketplace results in the best quality drugs being sold

- You can check other buyer's opinion

It's not very often that you can get opinions on the product and the seller, how many costumers do you know that use the same street dealer you do? Would the ones you do know openly talk about it? Would their opinion be unbiased? In the deepweb you can always read feedback regarding product quality

- You don't need to meet your dealer

Shady car drives, wasting gas, grab and go meetings, the chance of being scammed, physically harmed, snitches and people in need of scapegoats, encounters with law enforcement... I bet you don't like that part

- You may be supporting violent crime in the supply chain if you don't.

The violence of the drug trade is precisely a consequence of prohibition.

The only sustainable solution to ending the violence is an end to the war on drugs and a shift to legal regulation. Users of deep web marketplaces are helping to undermine this war by showing the war of drugs cannot be won. The more people that use the deep web, the sooner we will see a shift to legal regulation and elimination of drug-related violence.

A recent study by researchers at the University of Manchester and University of Lausanne suggests that the deep web is actually already helping to reduce violence, with the anonymous nature of deals preventing physical retaliation and cutting out middlemen.

- No "special" treatment

Maybe you're the guy that buys things at 3 times the price because you have no other source and they know it, or maybe your dealer doesn't like you and you are guy that gets the stuff cut with baby ass powder or worse.... I've read a story about this cocaine user that got stuff with glass shards (something to do with debt and the dealer being pissed off) and even today his nose still suffers...

On the streets there's always someone getting special treatment, on the darkmarkets your opinion is gold and you will be treated accordingly

- Law Enforcement don't care (as much as on the streets)

No one is complaining of shadowy activities in the alley and drawing attention to you, it is very expensive and troublesome to be tracked through TOR and simply not worth the hassle for law enforcement. They are after the big fish not the plankton

I am a dealer, why should i use the deepweb?

- You don´t need to meet your costumer

Shady car drives, wasting gas, grab and go meetings, the chance of being scammed, physically harmed, snitches and people in need of scapegoats, encounters with law enforcement...This one sounds familiar...

- You won't be a target (except of L.E.)

Rival dealer gangs and shady costumers can wish you harm, maybe they want to end with the competition, maybe they're trying to steal your stash... The point is you can at any time be turned to law enforcement or straight out robbed/beaten/murdered. The most dangerous thing in the deepweb is to get bad reviews by rival sellers...

In the Dark you avoid detection by "regular" LE, and make it much more expensive and trouble worthy to be investigated, i may make a post just about LE and deepweb someday...

- You can reach more costumers

So you want to sell some rare chem, maybe you are doing new synthesis or otherwise obtained a lot of some obscure compound, how many people in your town would actually buy the stuff? My guess is noone even heard of it, there's just no demand.... With the darkmarkets you can be selling anything, you now have clients all over the world!

How do i find and pick a market?

- Check the List of Dark Net Markets (Tor & I2P)

Like i said i've never used one before, but i'd be checking that list before trying a market

- Check the  Dark Net Markets Comparison Chart

- Check Vendor Reviews

Besides the markets you need to consider the vendors, checking the feedback on the market itself is a good start but i'd personally search for forums, i like reading some different Trip Reports from several dealers, you should do that before you pick your poison

The Majestic Garden is a cool place to visit if you are looking for the kind of drugs i would, here's a description from their site

"Hello and welcome to The Majestic Garden

This site is an initiative from the LSD Avengers to help the community obtain quality LSD, Ecstasy, and Cannabis. We are not a centralized marketplace, and we are not selling anything or involved commercially with the vendors whose contact information is listed here.

UPDATE: This blog and forum are now becoming a referal and information ONLY service, with reviews, and harm reduction based discussions, rather than open listings, at the request of the site Administration. This means we can tell you how to contact your favorite vendors, without involving ourselves in the actual commerce directly or indirectly. We enjoy our freedom, and try to remain as unbiased as possible!

The LSD Avengers is a small group of individuals dedicated to expanding knowledge and safe use of psychedelic substances. We rely upon the grater community to aid us in the decision of the level of trust we should place in a vendor.

We continuously test new vendors products to ensure quality and accuracy/honesty of their listings on their respective sites. This blog will be our main information location and we will try to keep it as up to date as possible."

- Check if the market uses Multisig

Unfortunately there are many sellers and buyers that lost money because of markets being hacked or turned out to be scam. MultiSig Escrow will protect you against this.
Normally the escrow is deposited on the escrow account of the market, with MultiSig Escrow the escrow is deposited on the generated MultiSig Address.

The bitcoin network enforces that the money on this address can only be redeemed with 2 signatures. The buyer, the seller and the market can sign.

So the market, the buyer nor the seller can redeem the money without any other signature. So no party including the market can steal the funds.

- Use GRAMS, the darkmarket search engine

If you don't have time to search several markets for your desired substance, use GRAMS, i've talked about it before
