This is how home delivery of drugs works in Italy

Nowadays, any substance, from fentanyl to heroin, reaches homes. Even those sold online as legal. The Anti-Drug Service has raised the alarm.

DRUGS AT HOME
When the Carabinieri of Nola, in the province of Naples, managed to bust an entire organization specializing in home drug delivery in February 2025, they discovered some details they hadn't even imagined. A real service of delivery, as if the drugs were delivered to your home (cocaine, hashish, fentanyl) were a pizza or a few portions of sushi, with a turnover of 100-150 thousand euros per month and a network of very loyal customers. So much so that they are rewarded with a special prize: a free dose of the chosen product on their birthday.

Every day in Italy we discover that there is a gang, a group of drug dealers specialized in home deliveries (they are also green(as they use scooters and electric bicycles) who are identified and, if possible, arrested. These are examples of operations completed by law enforcement in just 24 hours: eight arrests in the Ragusa area for drug delivery (from cocaine to marijuana); a hub for home delivery of cocaine in the hills of Pietra Ligure; eleven arrests of two clans in Acerra, near Naples, who competed in the home delivery market; an entire family arrested in Catania for their drug delivery activity. In the neighborhoods most organized for drug dealing, which has become a drug trade in Rome, there is even a sort of call center, and from San Basilio to Portuense, they can make up to 80-100 deliveries per dayCash payment and drugs delivered directly to your home.

Home delivery of drugs has made a qualitative leap. The most popular channel,Even by the very young, it is now also the most legal: Internet. A annual report of the Anti-Drug Service from a few years ago was already very explicit on the subject, and recalled how "the potential of the Internet is exploited, both in terms of access and anonymity." Prices are set like any other product, and without knowing each other, the buyer and seller can quickly close their negotiation until home delivery.

FENTANYL EFFECT

 

One of the items that is becoming increasingly in demand, through the home-delivered drug networks, is the Fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid, 100 times more powerful than morphine, 50 times more powerful than heroin. Taking a small dose, just 2 milligrams, equivalent to 2 grains of fine salt, can cause a person's death. Well, if you search through Google, something like Where to buy Fentanyl, or Fentanyl Prices, you will find yourself inundated with proposals.

The trick of such a devastating and at the same time explicit market lies in the use that, only apparently, is made of FentanylIt lends itself well, with a prescription, to the function of a pain reliever for both chronic and post-operative pain. With this premise, it can be sold in huge quantities.

Finally, drugs that arrive like a pony, always sold on the Internet as legal. In the 2024 National Anti-Drug Service Report, they are simply defined as NPS, New Drugs. psychoactive substancesPowders, pills, crystals, sprays, liquids: everything to be smoked, snorted, swallowed, or injected. That's all the reporting, but the incredible thing is that all these substances, which act on the central nervous system and alter perceptions, thoughts, actions, and memory, can be easily purchased online, where there are no controls or authorizations. And they're delivered promptly to your home, as if it were a pizza, with convenient credit card payment.
