The dark web/deep web/dark net/whateveryouwannacallit has many legal things sold on it. My favorite story was a few years back, a vendor there was selling drugs. However, they also had their own coffee blend, and they would send a bag of their coffee with every purchase. Turns out the coffee was phenomenal. The vendor started getting so many requests to buy the coffee directly that they were able to just start selling coffee. I don't remember if that got them to stop selling their illegal merchandise, but at least they had one avenue of semi-ethical income.

Different perspective / explanation:

Coffee works and tastes better while on other drugs.

In this case, it was because the character (Gale Boetticher) was really good at making both meth and coffee.

To be fair, coffee is just another drug. And there are many drugs which are sold legally which have much worse impact on people and communities, like opiod prescriptions.

So I know what you mean about selling drugs being "semi-ethical" (probably a fanciful way to say "legal") but it's not as unethical as many other things people sell out in the open.
