Getting high goes digital as the Amazon of drug sites deals door-to-door

There comes a time in the course of a party, usually when the wine is finished and only crème de menthe remains in the liquor cabinet, when someone decides to dial a number. In South Africa, that call is made to a shadowy cohort known as “The Nigie” whether or not the voice on the other end of the phone actually belongs to a Nigerian or not. After a procurement procedure that makes the slaying of Bin Laden look like a cake walk, several grams of an illicit substance are carefully tapped from a baggie onto a coffee table. This late night ritual is, however, under threat. The Nigie may soon find himself jobless, thanks to a reliable job-slaying villain—outsourcing.

A site called Silk Road, dubbed by Gawker “the Amazon of drug dealing”, offers the online availability of any and every drug your cracked-out mind could imagine. Early male chunky monkey cut cannabis seeds? Yes, sir. Several grams of Afghan hash with an MTV stamp “for rock stars”? Why, certainly. Mind-blowing starfish shaped tabs of acid? Happy tripping, dude. Think of the hashish menu in an Amsterdam coffee shop, with a further list for LSD, cocaine and designer drugs, placed online using the eBay model, and you get a sense of what Silk Road at its best (by which, of course, I mean worst) can be.

Now, I know what you’re thinking: Why put The Nigie, for all his faults, out of work for a site that sounds like a cyber hangout for CIA flacks and FBI stooges? For one thing, doing a drug deal in the parking lot of a Joburg Engen at 3:00 is not a recipe for longevity. There are the cops to consider, and drug dealers have been known to use tire irons on the heads of customers when unhappy. For another, Silk Road has a libertarian bent, and prides itself on being able to dodge the spooks.

Type “silkroad.com” into your browser, and you will get nowhere. First, you need to download the encrypted browser service TOR, a geeks-only enterprise that is nowhere near as easy to use as it sounds. If by some act of chance or skill you manage the configuration, up pops Silk Road. You will note a green logo, depicting a Lawrence of Arabia-looking fellow on a camel, alongside the ringing tagline, “Anonymous Marketplace.” The site is simultaneously old school and dizzyingly futuristic, a cyber environment as envisioned by William Gibson—everything available for anyone, at any time. (Save weapons of mass or even minor destruction; Silk Road is for anarchists who dig getting high, rather than those who dig blowing things sky-high.
