Prices for cocaine and methamphetamine have risen for the fourth quarter in a row! - GoFuckYourself.com

Prices for cocaine and methamphetamine have risen for the fourth quarter in a row, a trend law enforcement officials say indicates supply has dropped.

The price for a pure gram of cocaine increased 47% since October 2006. The price of a pure gram of methamphetamine jumped 84%, says a report out today by the Drug Enforcement Administration.

"I don't think anyone is prepared to declare victory, but this is certainly encouraging news," says Scott Burns of the Office of National Drug Control Policy.

A gram of pure cocaine cost about $137 in September, up from $93 in October 2006, according to a DEA database that analyzes seized illegal drugs. A gram of pure methamphetamine cost $245 in September, up from $133 in October 2006. The DEA uses the database to gauge illegal drug markets. High prices and low purity generally indicate a short supply. Dealers often use filler ingredients to stretch a drug supply.

Price increases don't necessarily show government success, says Bill Piper, a spokesman for the Drug Policy Alliance, which supports legalizing drugs. "When gasoline prices go up, politicians instinctively know that oil companies are getting rich," Piper says. "When drug prices go up, drug cartels are making money. ? More people are going to enter the market because its more profitable."

The Justice Department's annual National Drug Intelligence Estimate, out Wednesday, said cocaine is replacing methamphetamine as the "principal drug threat" in the USA, based on a survey of law enforcement agencies. The assessment reports declines in domestic and smuggled Mexican meth, but increases in Canadian meth.

New state and federal restrictions on ingredients used to make meth have contributed to a decline in homegrown drugs produced in small labs, Burns says.

In the past year, Mexican authorities have sent troops to crack down on trafficking and violent drug gangs.

Hmmm. Why are they too quick to attribute it to SUPPLY going down. Maybe it's DEMAND going up OR market segmentation dynamics?

EXACTLY

I know FAR FAR FAR more people around me doing drugs now than I did 10 years ago, and I hang out in the same circles

drugs are becoming way more accepted these days, way more than they were 10 years ago, and in 10 years from now I can't only imagine what it will be like

how do you know what the fuck i get?

according to 3 purification tests what I get is 80-90% pure EVERY TIME

I can buy an 8 ball, purify it, and it still comes out above 3 grams

I am a mother fucking drug snob from hell, I have more drug purity testing kits here on hand than pretty much anyone I know, LOL

If I get coke and it doesn't at least pass a "high" level on the eztest while I am buying it, I give it back

On top of that, whenever cops give street value they mean the potential after it has been stepped on all the way down the food chain.

american pervert · 11-08-2007, 11:23 AM

coke prices when up b/c the feds seized over 50 tons of it this year

kilos are about $16k in in l.a. up from $13k or so I hear

seeric · 11-08-2007, 11:29 AM

^^^ what he says and,

cocaine is actually making a big come back.

in the past year, more and more people that i never knew to do any drugs are experimenting with cocaine. its not a supply and demand thing.

the currency market affects every trade including drug sales. they are raising prices because its more expensive to manufacture now and with the dollar dropping, up goes prices on things used in the production of products.

gasoline is also a very necessary product in the production of cocaine.

thats my 2 cents though.

Porno Dan · 11-08-2007, 01:09 PM

I that all readers of GFY are clean and sober and don't have to pay inflated drug prices.

starpimps · 11-08-2007, 01:12 PM

but the price of a kilo has remained relatively unchanged

umm, no

in l.a. if you can get it went up 3k to 16k a kilo

nyc prices are like 21k+ a kilo

so you are most likely getting all cut if the prices haven't changed

I think I need to start doing meth and cocaine. The price for 9 (yes, 9) Imitrex is over $200. I only pay $25 because of my insurance, but still.....

If you want to make some REAL money start making Imitrex in your basement ;)

They kill me with this shit. I love how they try to make it sound like it's because of the wonderfully successful "war on drugs" when they manage to confiscate, what, 1-5% of the total amount that goes through the US? What a waste of time and resources.

WTF? Almost every single batch of this shit is different. Towards the end of my party days, it was getting really hard to get good shit because everyone was stomping on it or skimming for their own habit. Ice was actually going dollar for dollar in Dallas.. but the highest I think I ever saw it was $120 for a 'teen'.This fucking drug is pure evil man..

The joke about the colombian peso may not be far off. Look at it, the price of what, other than real estate isn't increasing? Commodity prices across the board -- why should coca be any different than wheat? Price of oil is up, transportation is going to cost more too. The DEA shouldn't be so fast to pat themselves on the back.

The only argument I buy is that the government could try to keep the quality of a drug low to prevent widespread usage. Otherwise, who the fuck that would otherwise do drugs does not because they are illegal?

papill0n · 11-08-2007, 06:17 PM

minusonebit · 11-08-2007, 08:30 PM

Yeah, these cops are really smart, aren't they? They reduce the supply so that a gram of crack is worth more than an ounce of gold and then they sit around wondering why everyone is trying to cook things in their kitchen.
