Marketing Drugs to The Masses

In a previous article we talked about a natural hallucinogenic drug that was easily available over the internet.

These types of websites actually are called "No Prescription Websites" (NPWs) which offer to sell controlled substances without a valid prescription.

NPWs were first recognized by the U.S. Justice Department in 1999, indicating that such sites had been operating at least through the late 1990s.

NPWs enable dealers and users to complete transactions without direct contact.

While many NPWs accept credit cards, others only accept cash thereby further reducing any paper trail.

Many NPWs are hosted in countries in which specific categories of controlled substances are locally legal (e.g. prescription opioids in Mexico), but because of the global nature of the internet, NPWs are able to do (mostly illegal) business with customers around the globe.

In addition to prescription opioids, stimulants, and sedatives, steroids are often widely distributed.

To date, no websites have been found offering directly to sell illegal drugs like heroin, illegal amphetamine or methamphetamine derivatives, or cocaine, however the police have uncovered several instances of dealers/drug rings using Craigslist personal ads to solicit drug business using code words and phrases.
