Drughub Market
Drughub Market may immediately make you think a certain other 'hub' on the internet, with its undeniably similar logo, but its associations are actually with the team behind White House Market, the formerly the world's number 1 darknet market, which retired in late 2021. And yes, it actually retired without exit scamming, with users being given time to withdraw their funds. White House Market was renowed for its high level of security, so will Drughub follow suit? Spoiler alert - it doesn't disappoint!

Found something you like?
Each product listing contains plenty of detail such as prices and quantities available, plus photos, a description, refund policy and reviews from previous customers. You can also view information about an individual vendor, or send them a message if you have any questions about anything they are selling.
Drughub only accepts Monero, but luckily this is the most privacy focused cryptocurrency, and also has very low fees, typically below a few cents. Drughub Market uses walletless pay, meaning you pay for your order at the checkout just like you would on Amazon. Therefore you can't just create your order, send the funds and then log out. No need to wait for the funds to be deposited.
Rules of Drughub Market
Drughub does not allow sales of fent or any poisonous chemicals, neither weapons or anything related to self defense. Non drug related products are allowed however, contrary to what the market's name might suggest. No trading is allowed within Russia or the Commonwealth of Independent States. There are also strict rules banning the sharing of off-market contact details through platforms such as Signal and Telegram, as this is often a method used by scammers to trick unsuspecting buyers to trade outside of the market, negating any escrow protection. Vendors are also expected to follow clear rules about the descriptions of products so as not to mislead customers.

Final thoughts on Drughub Market
Drughub follows in the footsteps of White House Market by only accepting Monero for payments, as well as mandating the use of PGP for those wishing to make a purchase. Whilst this may provide a barrier to some users, it ensures that user privacy and security is maximized, since even the event of the market being seized by law enforcement, there would be nothing incriminating on servers that was left unencrypted. Now the question remains, will Drughub also become a future number 1 market? It certainly has all the necessary ingredients, so time will tell!
