What happens when something you want to buy becomes illegal?

Imagine if your government banned weed or abortion pills or porn. Or if your country gets taken over by a dictator and you want to fund the opposition

Yes, black markets have never existed and can only be done through the existence of cryptocurrency.

That or you find a plug for your weed (like half of Europe does), abortion pills (like half of the US is about to do) or porn, and you pay with old fashioned cash. I know, not having one click order of your weed is horribly harsh.
