That's true. Saying "anything" was a bit sloppy. I meant to say "any regulated/controlled substances".

Yes. Though to be even more precise, the benefits of going outside of regular channels have to outweigh the burden of the regulation.

Eg some countries have black markets in currency, because of tight controls. Singapore doesn't really have black markets in currency, despite some (light!) regulation and taxes on money changers.
