Silk Road Drug Website: Canada Among Top Buyers At The New eBay For Illegal Drugs→

Canadians are among the top sellers and buyers of marijuana, steroids, cocaine and other drugs available at the click of a mouse on an anonymous website that functions like a black market version of eBay, a study has found.

The website, called Silk Road, uses a digital currency to protect online purchases, and an anonymity software to conceal users’ identities online, making it very difficult for law enforcement agents to locate the site’s servers or its participants.
