one of the reasons that people have sent samples to Energy Control. Caudevilla
was keen to stress that, officially, Energy Control’s service “is not intended
to be a control of drug quality,” meaning a vetting process for identifying
the best sellers, but that is exactly how some people have been using it.</p>

outlet does, using flash sales, gimmicky giveaways and promises of drugs
that are superior to those of their competitors. The claims, however, can
turn out to be empty: despite the test results that show that deep web
cocaine vendors typically sell product that is of a better quality than
that found on the street, in plenty of cases, the drugs are nowhere near
as pure as advertised.</p>
