I would recommend you dont try and access dark web , you could get yourself in trouble. I've got a friend that just went into a darkweb site and left , couple mounths ago he got caught with weed in him and he got extra year probation cuz of the darkweb search. I dont know how they knew
In my opinion, your friend got into trouble not because of the Dark Web, but because he got caught with illegal narcotics. But that's just my suspicion, I might not have all the facts.
