Yeah coke costs $400 a gramme in New Zealand and its shit, it gets cut to fuck by the huge chain of hands it passes through. Nobody has tried to really import and big amount of the stuff, i guess we just keep a little on hand for the Americans who visit. NZ’s biggest drug problem is meth but they call it P here. It goes for NZ$1000 a gramme! You can buy a bag with 0.1 of a gramme for NZ$120.

Awesome article about the tienditas. What’s the story about prescription drugs? i.e. Ativan, Wellbutrin, even penicillin. Also – when it’s ‘real’ why are these drugs so much cheaper and why do we get busted bringing them here (to LA.)

Peace:)

Ay Mexico! There used to be such optimistic thoughts for Monterrey, where people actually work a 9-5 workday, without a siesta. Tell Pres. Calderon this is what it feels like to lose a War on Drugs. Go watch Traffic again. I do it just to hear Catherine Zeta-Jones scream into to the phone “Just shoot him in the fucking head!”

Found some info from The Economist: http://www.economist.com/daily/chartgallery/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9414607

They claim a gramme went at $714.30 back in 2007.

really? for a gram? a single gram? goddamn and I thought keeping a coke habit here was expensive, for $400 USD you can get like an ounce of scalefish i think, and its expensive now.

I’ve heard the going rate for coke in NZ is $300 – $400 a gram, which is about $200USD. Good luck with that.

Monterrey isn’t all that far from Austin, Texas, where rohypnol was king for most of the 90′s. From punkers scared of smack, to co-ed date rape victims, everybody loved the roofies. If you gotta take pills, go the other direction with dexedrine or Adderall(tm). Or better yet, avoid pills altogether and stick with something safe, like crack.

Great article. I remember when Mexico tried to legalize drugs some years back and the US government freaked out and made them go back on it. But who can blame the government for wanting a piece of that action? Too bad the product is so shitty.

Good prices. Ounce of charlie costs about 50 euro/ounce in Amsterdam. Any Aussies or Kiwis care to share what the prices are Down Under? I’ve heard cocaine costs more than gold over in New Zealand.
