Visitors to the virtually untraceable 'Silk Road' website can buy ecstasy, heroin, cannabis and cocaine which is then disguised as a normal packaged parcel by the seller and sent through the post.
The website has been shrouded in secrecy since its launch in February 2011 but research tracking its growth in 2012 will be officially published later this year.
It shows that sales on the site doubled over a six-month period in 2012 reaching $1.7million sales - the equivalent of £1million - every single month.
Scheme: The Silk Road drug dealing website is
set up like an online store, allowing customers to find the drugs they
want at the best price and to give feed back on the sellers
