Closed

Cannazon was a major cannabis-focused market that operated with Monero payments until its administrators retired in November 2021 after sustained DDoS attacks.

History

Cannazon launched in 2015 and became one of the largest dedicated cannabis markets on the darknet, building a specialist reputation at a time when most major venues sold a broad range of drugs.

Operation

The market was notable for accepting only Monero at a time when Bitcoin dominated, reflecting early privacy-consciousness. It used escrow and served an international but largely Western customer base.

Downfall

In late 2021 Cannazon came under a massive, sustained DDoS campaign. Rather than risk losing user funds, its administrators announced a voluntary retirement in November 2021 and the site went offline, with no evidence of an exit scam.

Legacy

Cannazon is remembered as a cautionary and positive example alike: it showed both the vulnerability of markets to DDoS pressure and the possibility of a clean, voluntary closure without confiscating user funds.
