You mean, buying drugs?

Yes. Using Bitcoin to buy drugs from other people is not fraud. It's transactional.

Here's the thing: While I have nothing against drugs, and think them being illegal is ridiculous, the fact that they ARE still illegal means that those who sell them are, by and large, not nice people. Giving them money is not a good thing.
