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!”

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.

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.

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

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.

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

The nasty leftover shit is what you end up with at 50X the price stateside.
