I agree that prohibition doesn't work, but the police needs to do their bit as well. And if a darknet marketplace is taken offline, I don't think its users will have to go on the streets, there are many other marketplaces out there; just in the same way as when a street dealer is arrested, people will just end using a different one.

It seems that you are actually agains policing it, which is not the way forward, as there is a large amount of the population which is against drugs, and their needs need to be accounted for by the Government. So by catering for both parties (users/dealers and police), the darknet is a viable solution that helps everybody in the end (efficient purchase, efficient policing, less violence, less waste).
