We’re all familiar with the growing number of legalized locations when it comes to cannabis, and the fight between the legal market and the ever-present black market. We also know that black markets exist for tons of products. The next big thing coming toward the medical market, psychedelics, have always had their own black market, which is now gaining momentum with a growing presence on the web.
It’s no shock that the psychedelics black market has expanded out into the web. Tons of illegal operations can now be found online. This also goes for other unregulated industries like cannabis cannabinoids, an array of which can be bought easily from the web as well.

Black Markets
Sometimes its easy to forget just how much of the world runs on black markets. Back markets, are, after all, illegal markets that are unregulated and untaxed. Pretty much anytime you encounter clothing with a brand name which doesn’t look quite up-to-snuff, or when there’s a guy selling watches out of the back of a car, or when you buy a no-name replacement part for your phone from that dicey storefront down the street, these are all likely black-market products. But the black market can include much more.
Right now, there are tons of cannabis compounds flooding the market, like delta-8 THC, THCV, THC-O-A, and even hemp-derived delta-9 THC. All of these products are released under the misguided notion that the 2018 US Farm Bill makes them legal, when in actuality, no such legality has been made. It almost seems odd that this can exist without anyone doing anything about it. But then again, I walked into illegal dispensaries right in the middle of the Las Vegas strip, not hiding one little bit in the shadows.
When it comes to cannabis, local black markets have consistently outdone legal markets, and this is likely due to higher prices in dispensaries. Why extremely high taxes are consistently waged on these markets is beyond me, as the pricing plays into general complaints of not being able to divert more from the black market, which stays consistent, and doesn’t overcharge consumers. California is a great example of how overly stringent regulation has led to a much smaller number of legal operations than illegal ones, and the overall need for a bailout due to lower-than-expected sales.
