There was a group of folks on Silk Road buying lsd from various vendors, running gas chromatography, and posting externally verified purities and reviews. I'm sure the silk road people will coalesce on some other site and someone else will do this.
Remember when you're buying anything but pot or shrooms through the friend network you don't know what you're getting or how stepped that coke is.
edit: Also, these sites directly observe transactions plus financial exchange. That gives them a lot more tools to detect straw vendors. What lengths are local cops willing to go to to catch people buying personal use amounts of drugs, particularly when anyone can claim their house was used as a drop address.
Virtually nobody has been prosecuted for purchasing drugs on silk road; the only limited attempts so far look to me to be attempts to build cases against the vendors [1]. The guy in that article has purchased narcotics from someone in Washington.
