Social media markets for prescription drugs: platforms as virtual mortars for drug types and dealers
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Internet use has changed the mechanics of drug dealing. Although this has spurred some initial academic interest in how markets and their users have been changing, the issue is still under-researched. The purpose of this paper is to understand how the organisation of the distribution of prescription drugs and other illegal drugs overlap in these online markets by analysing data gathered from observation of the Swedish Facebook drug market and its participants.
