Question What's the price of cocaine (in $)?

I was just being curious after discussing this with my hubby... how much does it cost to do one shot (or whatever you call the dose for one time) of cocaine?

It sorta depends on the area you live in, and how much you buy at once.

I remember getting enough to get me and a friend high for about 2 days for under $100. The more you use the more you need we didn't do it often so it didn't take much. It wears off quickly so we were doing lines every hour or so to stay high.

Noooooooo, we don't want to try it, we just discussed about a person we both know who is unemployed and does cocaine regularly, so I wondered how much their friends spent on drugs..

Trust me, if we wanted to try it, money wouldn't be the issue. But we are not into dugs.

Thanks for your replies, boyz.

If they're unemployed they're either selling to get their share, turning tricks or stealing for it.

It's been almost 20 years since I worked narcotics but it wasn't cheap then and certainly won't be now.

In my area, a teener is $100 dollars. A teener equals about a gram. Its some expensive shyt. Just say no.

Well this is about someone I know and my husband says she was/is getting it from her friends. I find it hard to believe that someone would give it to her for free. I think she's either paying with real dollars or with her pussy.

I appreciate the concern , but do you really think that if I wanted to try any drugs I'd come on LS and ask for the price?. I would just buy it, who cares about the price! I would be more likely to ask WHERE I can buy it.

But no such desire here so no worries.

In my area you can get grams for $40-60.

But I knew how to get it in the ghetto.

I also did runs where I would drive the dealer to his supplier, he would give me a half oounce for free. And as much xanax as I could hold in both hands.

eightballs = 1/8 of an ounce, 3.5 grams = $100-140 depending on who you get it from.

I dunno where you guys got yer ****, but you were ripped off.

Don't know how it equates to the US price, but I'd imagine it's cheaper if not as cheap in the US.

It's sold in grams, which dependent on how much you do will last a certain amount of time. Most light users would share a gram between two for an average night. Depends on how much you love it. I've done far, far more than that in binges years ago. We'd have an eighth for the night between two.

Last I heard you could pick up a gram for about £35-40 (GBP) these days. So it's getting less and less expensive as it becomes the drug of choice for younger people.

For some unknown reason they think because famous people do it, it's cool...!!

I think that depends on what part of the country you're in. Cocaine floods south florida constantly. It's almost cheaper than weed down there.

Hell that is exactly what I was thinking.

That was the going rate when I was a MI snowblower back in yesteryear.

Oh how the times change........... but not the price of coke.
