Abstract
The problem of the distribution of narcotic drugs has become more and more serious in recent years, which is facilitated by the improvement of methods for such distribution. With the development of digital technologies, social networks, the Internet itself, the number of crimes committed using these technologies is growing. In this regard, it is relevant to analyze the ways and methods of drug trafficking using the Internet. This paper explores issues related to the methods of selling narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances or their analogues on the Internet. The phrase “drug trafficking” is defined as the illegal trade involving the cultivation, manufacture, distribution, and sale of substances that are subject to drug prohibition laws. So, as you might expect, the concept of Internet drug trafficking is simply the act of participating in Internet drug trafficking. The purpose is to analyze the features of committing the distribution of drugs on the Internet. Examples of the closure of such Internet sites are given.
