  What are your thoughts on alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical companies that make money from addicted users?

  Poor poor vendors who provide safety and reputation protection to addicts who would otherwise be in alleys.

  The single most highly traded item in terms of volume on most of these markets is pot, then non-addictive (but still potentially dangerous) drugs like MDMA. The number of hardcore opioid addicts that have a laptop, internet connection, knowledge of bitcoin, someone to convert cash into a bitcoin balance, a tor installation, a good address to pick up from and a willingness to wait a week to get their fix delivered is likely fairly small.

    And those types of users are, from what i've witnessed typically still highly functional members of society (lawyers, tech entrepreneurs, etc)
