Cocaine, Heroine, and LSD are 3 of the 10 most expensive materials in the world

if you go mg for mg there's a lot of more expensive materials. I mean I can get an ounce of almost pure cocaine for 1,300... or still good cocaine for 900 an ounce. Gold is more expensive than that. LSD on the other hand is really expensive. doses are really small. But IDK about one of the most expensive materials in the world at all.... i mean how much does uranium cost? there's a bunch of things I don't think they thought of in that article. there's no way cocaine is more expensive than heroin. or gold cheaper than cocaine. I guess gold could be cheaper in most cases.

Yep..I seen a documentary on drugs and had a dealer who supplied upper class people with their party favors..he had 86percent tested pure coke and it was 200 a gm....coke now adays is worthless when it gets to the consumer as we all know...lsd is by weight more expensive just cause of the small amount needed for use...kinda a math trick. If you think about it...

I saw that too. that was in england or something. If you know people farther up in the chain that are buyin kilos from wholesalers... you can get pure shit for way cheaper than that. I mean that guy selling it for 200 a gram didn't get it for 200 a gram... so what prices are they going buy?

I don't know coke prices, but $130/g for pure heroin is low for street prices but high for bulk. $3000/g for LSD is really low, Pickard was selling his acid for $0.29/dose or $2900/g. So unless you're getting it from a bulk cook you're paying much more than that.

Sorry duck,but I've gotten awesome lsd for 70cent a hit before..I did have to but 1000 hits but still..3 bucks a hit is over priced for bulk prices..this was in 1998 tho...

I think the most I've payed for bulk lsd was around 5k for a gram..it got to 10k at a point after the silo bust,then no supply at all for a few years....

Now adays I hear people saying 10 to 20 bucks a hit..unless I'm at a show with some real family..even then its either free or 2 bucks a hit..ill never ever pay more than 2 bucks..shouldn't have to pay at all..I feel bus stops and mc donalds should have acid dispensers for the public to dose at will for free. ;-)

I said $0.30/dose from a large scale cook. $0.70/dose is a totally realistic price, but that's still $7,000/gram laying 100ug tabs or $3,500 at 200ug/.

Even before I took acid when I was 10 or 11 I heard a rumor of tabs for .25 ..don't know if that's true..hope it was!

We also had flyers sent home from elementary school to warn parents of 'blue star tattoos' which were supposedly fake/temporary tattoos with lsd on them..apparantly children were getting dosed by finding these presumably safe "toys",and applying them..I was 8 then..I'm 34 now...

Jeez, $215 for a gram of blow, LOL I think they confused grams with 8 balls. Even at $215 a ball that's ass rape. I can get some nice waxy fish scale for $150 a ball.

The Meth price on par. That's the common price around my way.

Blue star tattoo is a myth. LSD doesn't seem to work transdermally, at least David Nichols has said Nick Sand tried painting himself with large amounts dissolved in DMSO. It's one of the many good reasons he gives to explain his hypothesis that Hoffman had a spontaneous mystical experience on 4/16/43 (the duration was only about 2 hours and Hoffman had had one before. There's a transcript of the talk he gave in the LSD vault on erowid). Sand was Bear's protege and Nichols is probably the top academic expert on LSD, and the founder of the Heffter Institute. And a close friend to the Shulgins. He was interviewed in the documentary Dirty Pictures. I trust the man when it comes to psychedelics!
Mookjong when you consider the average purity of cocaine that 8ball is really about a gram.
Canndo, of course antimatter is expensive. It will annihilate an equal mass of matter by converting it to energy. Even if you can make it with no waste energy we're still talking about converting a gram of matter to energy, e=mc^2 makes that about 10^15 J or 10^9 MJ! Gasoline has a little under 50 MJ/kg! So 5g of gets turned into as much energy as burning 1,000,000,000 kg of gas!

In my best days I was paying $18,000 a lb for what I could safely say was about %85 percent hydrocholride - figure solvent weight at maybe half or three quarter ounce. Even the gourmet stuff couldn't have been much more than 92 or so but I can't remember ever having the option of getting that by the lb and I never did any true work on the stuff so you can't hold me to those numbers except for experience with what they would call high grade. I never ever heard of anyone ever paying $215 for anything no matter how pure, and those where the days when at least for a while we could get a premium for that slight tinted colored stuff that everyone liked so much. Though I never had my hands on any quantity of pharma quality I did manage to taste it several times and I believe i said before it was sort of dull compared to the illicit stuff but we have to figure it was way over 90 percent pure and there wasn't much of a difference between that and our finest in terms of potency. I rather doubt that anyone could tell just by snorting it those last half dozen points of quality.


I always wondered about that in Breaking Bad. I mean, what was Gale making? 91 or 92 percent? and he claimed walt's was coming in at 96.x or something like that? I just doubt that anyone would tell. Figure someone laid out 20 mg of 90 percent. Now he laid out 18 mg of 100 percent. That is two mg - hardly enough to see at all, what? two grains of salt? worth?

Why would anyone go nuts over this last 8 or so percent? Even Walt's wasn't 100 percent (obviously as it was blue if for no other reason).

Blue is just a plot device, and Walt is making like 99.x according to the first season iirc, gale was like 96. I think Jesse was 96 or 98 on his solo cook in Mexico. Near enough it doesn't matter to the end user.
when you factor in purity $215 for a g of pure coke doesn't sound outrageous , 3.5g of 30% is only a little over a gram of pure.

Recall I am talking about they heyday of coke where one could never obtain a gram of anything that was remotely akin to coke for less than 100. People would experiment with raisng the price rather than cut it to as high as $125 - it never went over very well, people would rather pay 100 for the crap than actually realize that they were getting the better deal with the 1 and a quarter per.

If I ever happen upon something worth the trouble I think I will clean and recrystalize it just to see what I would have left. I know I know some cuts won't be driven off but I figure most cuts aren't that sopisticated and as I have preached before, I genuinely suspect that most of the coke I have happened across in the last 5 years or so were poor simply because it was poorly made to begin with.


The last time I tried something like that there was water in my process - so that really can't count.

It might have been a myth but I had to take home the flyer/memo from school to my grandparents whom I was living with at the time..it was the mid 80s tho..and I agree that if you get a gram of coke these days it would contain about one fat line of real coke..nothing like what I seen in highschool...but I'm. Not really looking for coke either..when I've seen is at partys or whatever,it always looks like garbage.
