We're seeing this gentrification of the drug market where, more and more because these sites and the vendors operate online, they don't need to maintain this violent deterrence, this sort of hard man persona.
Imagine a world where you can order drugs online just like you would a pair of shoes. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, right? Well, this is the reality that James Martin dives into in his book 'Drugs on the Dark Net: How Cryptomarkets are Transforming the Global Trade in Illicit Drugs'. In this episode, host Marshall Poe sits down with Martin to uncover how the dark web has revolutionized the drug trade.
Forget shady street corners; now, drug users can browse and purchase from the comfort of their own homes, complete with customer reviews and refund policies. Martin breaks down how cryptomarkets have taken over since the Silk Road's closure, offering more choices and a different kind of 'customer service'. But it's not all rosy; the conversation also touches on the challenges law enforcement faces and the ethical questions this new system raises.
If you're curious about how technology is reshaping an age-old problem, this episode is a must-listen.
