Not sure about the rest but the LSD people are saying $5 a hit...I wish. We always had to pay $15-20 back in the early 2000's.


It really depends on where you are and who you know.

$5-10 was pretty typical for retail, both from a 'bro' and some random wook at a Shakedown Street.

Wholesale value was about $2 a pop

Looks like when they were figuring prices they just screwed up and added an extra 0 to the street prices.

I have no idea what meth costs. I've only done it once (on accident, it was a bogus roll). I'm guessing $30-40 a gram? I really have no basis.

That's about right.

1,500 - 3,000 per pound. The Cartels have really flooded the market and drove prices down.

That's going to continue as the US legalizes MJ. If the numbers in the OP were correct, there's a whole lot of missing money on that table.

Cartels will go to whatever is making money, drugs that kill you and destroy life will always make money.

You know they are also in the legal avocado business too right? lol blood guacamole

Swap out the meth for cocaine and that was a typical party pack for a 3 day Panic run.

I think they know their target audience has no idea about actual drugs so they just inflate the numbers to make it seem as if they're doing a great job.

Then again, Louisiana and Colorado are governed by very different people. The tax revenue here has gone towards infrastructure, with individual dispensary operations adopting and maintaining sections of highway and surface streets. I have a hard time seeing the money being spent wisely down there

Itll be legal when the right pockets make more from legal cannabis, than private prisons.

They go by prices reported to them from Intel but they dont update the price charts often or they get Intel that's not real accurate. Prices vary often so it is often inaccurate.

For the most part, the price chart is just for press releases and really is unimportant so it being accurate isnt that big of a priority.

For example 125 per gram for meth was the street price 6 years ago...but it is still used often.

89 grams of methamphetamine ($106,800 street value)


So meth is $1,200 per gram yet Vyvanse is cheaper on the street than it is at a pharmacy?

ETA - I see I'm the 3rd person to make this observation.

Fairly certain that’s there for scale.

I know, I know, then what’s the scale for?
