Exactly. Knowing where to buy drugs should never be illegal, nor should telling others about it. The illegal action is buying, selling, or posessing a controlled substance.

Now, knowing where to find something illegal could indicate that you have done or plan to do something illegal, but it is not proof of guilt in itself.
