I'm in Berlin right now and could get lsd (and all kind of other drugs) delivered to my door in less than 2 hours, it's the same in any major EU cities. edit: and you don't even need tor really, everything is happening through signal these days.

By shutting down tor. By owning tor. By tracing the envelopes. By setting up fake drug markets to catch buyers. By controlling access to precursors. By looking for labs. By bribing members of these organizations (I doubt they are 1-man operations).
