Drugs can be advertised, bought, sold on the Internet, information related to the effects of drugs, price, manner of consumption etc. can be obtained through the Internet. In the article, we will consider importance of the Internet for the development of the market of narcotic drugs, or the unlawful circulation of narcotics by the abuse of the Internet. One part of the paper referes to the phenomenon of new psychoactive substances. In addition, we analyzed the capacity of the cryptomarket to influence the conventional drug market.

Internet je kao jedan od simbola modernog doba i globalizacije u velikoj meri doprineo boljoj informisanosti ljudi, razmeni naučnih i drugih podataka, razvoju privrede (naročito marketinga) i drugih oblasti društvenog života. Sa druge strane, internet se zloupotrebljava od strane učinilaca krivičnih dela na različite načine. Droga se preko interneta može reklamirati, kupiti, prodati, mogu se dobiti informacije koje se odnose na dejstvo droge, cenu, način konzumiranja itd.

Deo rada se odnosi na fenomen novih psihoaktivnih supstanci. Osim toga, analizirali smo kapacitet kriptomarketa da utiču na konvencionalno tržište opojnih droga.
