Street Prices of Cannabis, Ecstasy and Cocaine at an All-time Low
Sun, Sep 10, 2006 3:07 pm
The data, based on a survey of more than 2,300 people last year, shows that cannabis resin sold for an average of £43 per ounce, down from 2004's figure of £45 - and a big drop from the 1994 average price of £120 per ounce. Even at this low price, the profit margin for the dealer remains high, at 169 per cent.
The annual survey of drug prices, to be released by the charity Drugscope this week, shows how prices remain low.
Cocaine, sold for around £44 a gram, is one of the less profitable drugs, with a profit margin of around 95 per cent.
Britain's continuing "pill-popping" culture, particularly in its clubs, is indicated by the falling price of an ecstasy tablet, which is usually bought for less than £3.
Amphetamines are also down in price, and cost an average of £9 a gram - yielding a 237 per cent profit margin.
Heroin was one drug that went up in price - from £38 a gram in 2004 to £58 a gram last year. Its profit margin more than doubled, to 152 per cent.
Illustrating the economies of scale underpinning the demand for drugs, dealers selling ecstasy tablets for less than £3 were still able to pocket £1.50 a pill.
There are a number of factors involved in what is rapidly becoming a "buyer's market", according to drugs counsellors. The decreasing purity of some drugs is one reason for the fall in prices, as dealers import drugs and then adulterate them with other, cheaper chemicals in an attempt to hang on to their profit margins.
Another more fundamental reason for the steady drop in prices is that traffickers are flooding Britain with illegal drugs, because demand has increased.
Home Office research shows that one person in 20 aged between 16 and 24 has used cocaine or crack.
CUT-PRICE HIGHS: How drug prices have fallen since 2000:
HEROIN: dropped from £70 a gram to £58
COCAINE: down from £65 a gram to £44
ECSTASY: fallen from £9 to less than £3 a pill
According to the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca), Britain is one of the world's most profitable narcotics markets for gangsters, despite a long-running "war on drugs".
Soca aims to stem the flow of heroin from Afghanistan and cocaine from Colombia. It estimates that up to 35 tons of heroin are brought into the UK each year.

So what's it going to be ? Going to keep sucking on that glass dick until you're dead ( which will be pretty damn soon) ?
If you choose the pipe you'll be dead , homeless , in jail or a combination of the above soon.
Believe me, I'm a doctor in a crap area and I've seen this too many times to count. Stop while you still have some of your soul left.

Hey dumb shit. You can preach that shit till you're blue in the face and it won't change a thing. Sure people die from drugs. People also die from eating too much, driving cars, killing one another in the name of GOD, drowning and a whole host of other causes. People who die from drugs are an unfortunate side affect of the worlds governments profiting off the misery they cause. If drugs were legal the curses of jails, institutions, and death would be all but eliminated. People never learn from history. The USA tried prohibition and it failed, miserably. What makes you think they will success in this "War on Drugs". They've lost but won't admit defeat. It was a stab at freedom anyway so it's good that they are losing it. And all the money. What a waste!?!
Oh and you suck as a doctor. Do no harm and the like. Put your soul into healing not hypocritical rhetoric.

Where you could buy a pill or two for 9 to 15 quid each before, you now have to buy up to ten for 20 quid to get the same effect.
At the moment, the majority of the ecstacy being sold in my area is pathetic and usually full of speed which in my opinion is absolute filth.

Think about what that means: what other economic market can sustain 10x price difference? Only totalitarian societies (e.g. Soviet single seller, planned economies) have ever done so, and then at quite a cost.
Clear proof that the basic economics of prohibition inevitably doom it.
