DrugHub Market Snapshot, September 2026

A complete, text-only capture of the public listing, vendor, and review pages of DrugHub, a Monero-only darknet market operating since 2023. Everything here was visible to any visitor without an account. Doesn't include any images.

Collected 16-17 September 2026. Enriched with model-derived labels (typesafe/jev-1.13) on 19 September 2026; see the listing_enrichment table and the Enrichment section below.

Things to know before using it

• Prices are as displayed. Nothing has been converted. Use the per-row exchange rates or your own historical series.
• Reviews have no identifier and no text. They are numeric scores plus a date, listed newest first. Their position on a page can shift as new reviews arrive, so a small number may be duplicated across page boundaries. Reviews with identical (vendor, listing title, date, scores) are common and mostly genuine; the data has not been deduplicated.
• Reviews reference listing titles, not ids. Joining on (vendor, title) matches about 63% of reviews to a current listing. The rest are on delisted, renamed, or private listings.
• Relative dates are stored as shown ("21 months ago", "Today"). Resolve them against fetched_at.
• vendors is one row per page, so profile stats repeat across a vendor's review pages. Filter page_r = 0 unless you want the review pages.
• Vendor ratings are near-uniform (80% of vendors at 98-100%). Cancellation and dispute counts carry more signal.
• Free text is raw. Descriptions keep their original line breaks and any decorative characters. The site enforces a 50-character minimum and roughly a 10,000-character maximum.
• Category is the market's own tree, not a normalised taxonomy. About 10% of listings are outside the Drugs category.

Enrichment (model-derived, not ground truth)

listing_enrichment holds one row per listing with labels produced by typesafe/jev-1.13, a classification-only model that picks from options we define and returns a probability distribution. Every enumeration includes an escape option (other_listed_class, not_stated, unknown, ...), and each choice column has a companion <field>_p with the probability of the chosen option. answers_json carries the full distributions. Treat these as annotations to be thresholded, not facts.

Field	Type	What it answers
language	choice	Primary language of the description (ISO code, mixed, other, unknown)
substance	choice	Substance sold, from a per-subcategory vocabulary (Drugs only)
product_type	choice	Product kind for non-drug categories
form	choice	Physical form (pill, powder, crystal, flower, vape, blister_pack, ...)
purity_claim	choice	Stated purity/potency bucket (none, under_50, 50_79, 80_94, 95_plus)
lab_tested	0-1	Claims lab testing
pharma_claim	choice	Presented as genuine pharmaceutical, replica/pressed, or not applicable
counterfeit_risk	0-1	Imitates a pharmaceutical product (branded press, fake blister, RC substitution)
quantity_stated	choice	Whether the price maps to a stated quantity
wholesale	0-1	Bulk/wholesale orientation
stealth_described	0-1	Packaging/stealth described
tracking	choice	Tracked, untracked, both, not stated
fe_required	0-1	Vendor asks for Finalize Early / early escrow release
external_contact	choice	Mentions an outside channel (see caveat)
cross_market	0-1	Mentions history on another darknet market
harm_reduction	0-1	Contains dosing guidance or safety warnings
fentanyl_mention	choice	none, claims_free, contains, warning
text_style	choice	terse, handwritten, marketing, template, other

Notes:

• prompt_version is 2 for most rows and 3 for Prescription Drugs, Peptides, Steroids, and Benzos - Pills, where the substance vocabulary was expanded after a first pass. All other questions are identical across versions.
• substance vocabularies were built from title-token frequencies per subcategory. Prescription Drugs uses therapeutic-class buckets for the long tail; about 12% of that subcategory still lands in other_listed_class.
• external_contact has low precision: its other_platform value often reflects a mention of another site or market rather than an actual handle.
• The model saw the title, category, unit, origin, and the first 2,500 characters of the description.
