Drug was only one of the item on sale.

You had also assassination, children, organs, human trafficking, and more that I can't remember.

I agree with you on the point of the drug, but the rest... Is disgusting.

I completely agree that the sale of assassination, children, organs, human trafficking are deplorable and thats definitely regrettable if those things showed up on the silk road with consistency and were allowed to remain.

But I was under the impression that ross ulbricht was being convicted mainly for drug trafficking and wasn't charged for any of those other things.

I'm sympathetic to the damage done by the "war on drugs". We need to change laws, creating a website that allows for murder and other horrible crimes is not the right approach.
I don't think the silk road had those, those were other sites afaik
