Does latest growth of darknet markets signify a slow reorganisation of the illicit drug trade? Where are darknet markets situated in the global drug provide chain? In precept, these platforms permit producers to sell instantly to finish customers, bypassing conventional trafficking routes. And but, there is proof that many offerings originate from a small variety of highly energetic shopper nations, somewhat than from nations that are primarily known for drug production. In a large-scale empirical research, we determine the darknet trading geography of three plant-based medication throughout four of the largest darknet markets, and compare it to the global footprint of manufacturing and consumption for these medication. We current robust evidence that cannabis and cocaine distributors are primarily located in a small number of client international locations, quite than producer international locations, suggesting that darknet trading happens at the 'final mile', possibly leaving outdated trafficking routes intact. A model to clarify buying and selling volumes of opiates is inconclusive. We cannot find proof for vital production-side choices across any of the drug sorts or marketplaces. Our evidence further suggests that the geography of mega market darknet trades is primarily pushed by present client demand, slightly than new demand fostered by individual markets.
