Background and Purpose: 

Today, due to the rapid spread of the Internet and cyberspace and the popularity of social networks among people, especially young people, cyberspace has become a suitable platform for advertising, supply and sale of drugs and psychotropic drugs, as well as training on how to make drugs and psychotropic drugs by criminals. Identity concealment, high speed of information transfer and low risk are some of the characteristics of traffickers in cyberspace.

In terms of purpose, the present study is an applied research and the data collection method is a survey. In this study, using Delphi method, 6 experts who are senior officers and managers working in the anti-narcotics police and FATA police have been interviewed.

The results showed that criminal drug activities in cyberspace are now more concentrated on the social networks like Telegram and Instagram. Organized drug trafficking gangs also use the dark web, which is part of the deep web. Traffickers advertise and sell drugs and psychotropic drugs by forming various groups and channels on the Telegram and launching their Instagram pages.

The cycle of addressing these crimes in the country includes three stages; Monitoring of crimes, through public reports and patrols by police experts in cyberspace; Identification of criminals and collection of information and laboratory examination of digital evidence by experts.
