Craigslist is the internet’s paradise island of opportunity. From renting out bathrooms to recruiting bank robber accomplices, the simple yet popular classified website has brought together employers and job hunters, landlords and tenants, buyers and sellers, cheating husbands and prostitutes, even drug dealers and web savvy drug users. That’s right; drugs 2.0!

Special narcotics prosecutor Bridget Brennan and a team of prosecutors are leading the online drug war in an effort to influence Craigslist to curb ads featured on their site selling illegal drugs. Brennan has recently written a letter to the online trade post concerning the growing issue. However, Brennan’s undercover agents have already arrested dozens of dealers selling cocaine, ecstasy and other drugs.

So who are the dealers? How about anyone from a Citigroup banker to an Ivy Leaguer to an ex-convict? If this sounds sketchy to you that’s because it is. Although, you can argue that it’s similar to using that NYC weed delivery service your co-worker referred to you.

Take this Craig’s List ad I recently ran across:

“a wood aamwa that is two pieces each has a cubard and three joars vary nice please call 719-393-8020 ask for todd”

“aamwa”, “cubard”, “joars”, and “vary” … try “armoire”, “cupboard”, “drawers”, and “very” you retard. Unfortunately, the person who listed the “aamwa” indicated that, “it’s NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests,” so I didn’t contact the poster with my editing services.
