Cocaine, one of the sellers told him, was $4 for three grams – which, if in Brazilian Real, converts to about $AU1.22 – which stunned Karter. “Bro, in London – I was working in London — guess how much this would cost? (For) three grams of cocaine?” he asked the gangster in return. “Tell me how much!” the man replied. “Around $200,” Karter said, or about $AU374. In other words, according to the YouTuber’s calculations: three grams of cocaine in London cost 50 times more than cocaine in a Brazilian ghetto. That is a 5000 per cent price increase. The revelation also stunned the drug trader, who made an astonishing suggestion to Karter: “You should buy it from here then and sell it in Europe!” https://nypost.com/2023/05/15/traveller-unveils-wild-cost-of-drugs-in-open-air-markets-in-brazilian-slums/ |

Well duh. The cost isn't for the product itself. It's for all the work required to smuggle it. Same applies to any illegal product.

The YouTuber was also shocked that “everyone” had “massive, huge guns … even grenades”.

When I clicked on this thread I thought it was Coca-cola prices. Then I remembered I was in the General Degeneracy forum.

This is the affordable economy Joe (a)Biden and his administration wants for the US. Cheap shanty housing, cheap insect food and cheap drugs. Cheap drugs is a real breakthrough…wonder how that happened?

Logistics are expensive fuel prices are up. Close to the source low prices.

Quoted: Of course that's BS. A kilo would be cheaper because it doesn't have to be broken down into all those individual wrappers. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: So $273 for a kilo? Of course that's BS. A kilo would be cheaper because it doesn't have to be broken down into all those individual wrappers. Lol no. Nowhere on earth is a kilo of cocaine < $273. Even with borderline slave labor in a 3rd world jungle the inputs are more than that. There is a reason cocaine is expensive when compared to other illicit drugs despite being one of the easiest to transport. |

I was reading through the rent price thread and if made me feel like understanding basic economic concepts was some rare mystic art. |

I’d imagine buying blow in Brazil might be just a tad risky.

Is that cocaine or is that the nasty leftover shit third world countries call cocaine?

It's easier and cheaper to get in the south than the north.
You know why? |

Quoted: How much for a 2 liter? View Quote Exactly! It shows how boring and law abiding I am, not to mention being almost completely ignorant about foreign cultures, that when I read the thread title I instantly assumed it was about something like Mexican Coke, made with real sugar. I can’t and don’t want to think in terms of metric units but three grams didn’t sound like a lot. I clicked on the thread because I wanted to see the miniature can or bottle and learn how in the world anyone could quench their thirst with a thimble full of soda. |

If I am shoving 40 kilos up my arse someone is paying a premium for that effort.

Blow......I can't feel my face. |

Hmmm, on Miami Vice, wasn't the street value of a kilo around $20,000? (So, $20 per gram)
