There’s a lot of idealogy involved in some of the bitcoin threads, it might be some of the reasons that led to it’s creation. Still, it’s just a tool, and there are plenty of not-ideological (or not radical) people involved with bitcoin.

On the other hand, I don’t really know how the drug business works, maybe it is as easy to catch somebody dealing drugs in person.

Since shopping with BTC is much cheaper, because there is no middleman, a drug dealer can afford two copies of each package – one to the recipient, and one to a random address. This way, the mere act of receiving drugs will not implicate you. Let’s assume the mail busts 5% of the packages. For these cases, the customer (who doesn’t receive the package) complains to the drug store, who will issue a refund (another 5% cut in efficiency – still a hell of a lot more efficient than existing distribution methods).
