THERE WAS A pretty flashy examination of the ‘dark net’ on Prime Time last night — that shady part of the internet where drugs are sold, weapons are purchased and all manner of other nefarious things happen.
It’s up on the RTÉ Player for the next three weeks, if you’re interested, and is well worth a look.
During the course of the package — shot around the vaults of CHQ in Dublin’s IFSC, and in a variety of shabby looking basement office spaces for a bit of extra ‘murkiness’ — presenter Richard Downes purchased a sizeable enough lump of cannabis.
Why?
Well — journalism, of course… What better way to prove that an online drug dealer is in fact a drug dealer than, well, buying some drugs?
RTÉ
“We appear to have got what we paid for,” Downes told viewers, after cutting open an air-mailed package and giving the product a cursory sniff…
RTÉ
It got some of us wondering though…
Not that we’d ever suspected them anything — an RTÉ spokesperson confirmed this afternoon that the product was destroyed in a controlled manner, in keeping with programme guidelines.
Generally, she explained, a graphic would have been added to explain that to viewers, but programme-makers were in a hurry to get the package finished and on the air.
So, no — no-one smoked it, if that’s what you were wondering… Again, the thought never crossed our minds.

Destroyed in a controlled manner? Was fire involved? Hope no one inhaled
So rte have used our licence money to buy drugs….now I have seen it all
Dobbo was seen last night begging for skins outside the chipper in Donnybrook…
Typical RTE… taxpayers’ money going up in smoke
Seen this last night, very good tutorial.
How much did he pay online ? We need to know the ins and out’s of this.Will this online system put local dealers out of business. Look, lets face it , drugs being delivered to RTE staff is hardly a new development. Besides the whole world is aware of Silk Road ect.I don’t really see what a report on RTE is going to achieve other than give a tutorial on how to shop online.
Long live The Dread Pirate Roberts!!! Arrrrrgh!*joking*
Eammon Dunphy snorted it.
That’s showbiz baby!!
”You just cant get good cocaine in this town”
My advise would have been to split it between Enda and Joan and chill them the feck out!!
Who needs Tor when you can just nip down to O’Connell Street any time of the day? My friendly face slashed drug dealer is always happy to see me. Not a Guard to be seen for miles….
Buying hash off a lad on O’Connell street? That’s as bad as buying steak from Tesco’s.
You mean horse from tesco.
Surely you mean horse.
where can one order this wonderful medicine… any links?i

You need to get your gritty little paws on some bitcoin first..
https://bitcoin.org/ sorts those gritty little paws out ;-)
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t it the “deep web” and not the “dark net.” I thought the dark net was a group of computers on a private connection where as the deep net is for sites such as the one shown which will not come up through ordinary search engines.
Thats why you really shouldn’t put too much faith in RTE reports on this kinda thing.
It’s the same thing. You need TOR to access dark net. To access a site on the dark net the address should end with .onion
Must end .onion
“Not that we’d ever suspected them anything — an RTÉ spokesperson confirmed this afternoon that the product was destroyed in a controlled manner, in keeping with programme guidelines.”
Yeah Cocaine is more their thing!
buying a bit of hash from overseas by post via tor is that really practical?
Assured quality, good prices, large variety of strains with info on each of potency and type of high, expedient discreet delivery and top notch customer service. Also many sites sell medical cannabis in tinture or resin form, far cheaper and exactly the same as Staivex. The whole system works on integrity and reputation so the sellers cant be nicer to you as bad reviews are bad for business.
I’d say most of the researchers smoked it because of all the sh 1 t on TV !
:) destroyed in a series of small fires
It really shows how out of date our drug laws are. We cannot hold back the tide when you can get it delivered to your door as easy as that. Enforcing drug laws is impossible and a new approach is required to better our society.
I have not had some brown for years! Would love one for old times sake. Nothing but weed around now. Thanks RTE, …. now where did you buy this?
I’m hungry. I don’t know why.
wow……ground breaking …zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………………is it over yet ?…………..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
