Free gram with your first order... drug pushers we found advertisin­g online

FACEBOOK

A REPORTER was able to find dealers offering to sell ecstasy and cannabis on Facebook within minutes.

Cannabis appeared to be advertised on Facebook last month by a user in Bristol.

The page was deleted after the Mail alerted Facebook, but several other near-identical pages offering the drug with the same contact details were still live last night.

Posing as a schoolboy, the Mail contacted two other Facebook pages peddling drugs online, and both immediatel­y agreed to sell.

One was unconcerne­d when told the would-be buyer is still at school, and told him to meet him in East London close to Canary Wharf to complete the deal.

Another site provided a price list of cannabis products costing from £100 to £350 when contacted. The dealer told the reporter to send a Post Office MoneyGram and he would deliver to his address.

The undercover reporter emailed back: ‘Will it be well disguised because I don’t want my mum to notice it if it arrives while I’m at school?’ The dealer replied, ‘Yeah mate it’s well packaged and sealed.’ INSTAGRAM SCORES of Instagram account holders were found to be posting photos of cannabis for sale.

Some dealers even posted menus of what was available to buy if customers got in touch using their Wickr username – an encrypted messenger app.

Using Wickr, a reporter found dealers across the UK willing to sell and post drugs.

One dealer even offered to include a free gram as it was the first order. TWITTER IT took less than two minutes for us to find a US dealer willing to ship 150 ecstasy (MDMA) pills to London.

The dealer had posted scores of photos of pills and cannabis – urging buyers to get in touch.

Through Wickr he offered to send our reporter 150 Class A MDMA pills for £1,630 using a ‘scout’ in the UK.
