Interesting numbers surprised nbome was number 4 most popular in USA and ketamine was low everywhere.



The most popular drugs bought with bitcoin on Silk Road



By Roberto A. Ferdman — December 28, 2013

A new study on Silk Road, the recently shut-down illicit online marketplace that first brought bitcoin to notoriety in 2011, paints an interesting picture of three major countries’ illegal drug purchasing habits. The study, Use of Silk Road, the online drug marketplace, in the UK, Australia and the USA, surveyed nearly 10,000 global drug users in an effort to gather information about how Silk Road was used.

The most commonly purchased drug on Silk Road for the all three countries was MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy. The second and third for all three was marijuana and LSD—in the case of the UK and Australia, respectively; in the US, the other way around. Further down the list, however, purchasing habits diverged.

In the US, a family of psychedelic drugs known as NBOME was the fourth most popular on Silk Road, with 29% of surveyed drug users reporting that they used the marketplace to procure it.





In the UK, the fourth most popular was a family of psychedelic drugs known as 2C, which 23% surveyed drug users reported buying.



In Australia, the fourth most popular drug was a bit less obscure—25% of Silk Road users used the marketplace to purchase cocaine.

2 weeks shipping for heroin no junkie has time for that. Even if it's 2-4 day shipping they wouldn't wait.

With all the weed in the US, UK and Australia, I'm surprised it's #3 on the list though I guess I shouldn't be since MoM has had its niche since the conception of the internet. not surprised how popular NBOMe is in the US. it's the 'new acid'. NBOMes arent that bad (I rather liked 25c despite the side effects it carried) but that phrase makes me

People buying NBOMes mad cheap and selling it as Lucy, no shame

Their local weed sucks and they can get the best weed world that way. The difference in cost in oz of weed in NYC and california is huge too.

I'm surprised LSD was near the top on all 3 lists, I guess more people like to trip then I thought.

I don't know anywhere outside of Mexico the local weed sucks in North America. It's the imported shit that sucks.



unless you're buying bulk often from legal states I can't see the advantage of buying weed online if not to say 'I smoked bud from X, Y, and Z land'

Too bad they didn't do Canadian user survey. I saw LSD prints on there that my guy in real life sells for much less, almost half as much. LSD would have been the last thing i would have bought if I had used SR.

I guessed acid before I clicked on this. It just seems like the people who would actually seek out a black marketplace on the internet are more likely to buy something like that than say, coke or weed.

I guess not many people have real life access to it, also, it ships too easily.
