Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA
I´m doing an estimate of what I pay from growers/hookups I´ve known and bought on and off for ages and street prices I have to pay at parks,parties,clubs,bars...places where I ain´t hooked up. Also what my friends who ain´t propperly hooked pay etc...I´lll put illegal drug prices, and the prices of legal drugs (like methadone,fentanyl,hydro,ketamine, with benzos I won´t bother and the price difference is so enormous between brands plus you can buy from 10 to 100 pills in a single box, most rec. pill meds here come in blister packs inside boxes, aside from the U.S. imported ones (Oxycontin,Methadose,Duragesic,etc)...all prices are what you´d pay at the farmacia without insurance, insurance legally has to cover up to 40%, though you have to push them with lawyers and stuff, when I had scripts for oxy naltrexone and methadone, not simmultaneously of course, they didn´t want to cover and a letter from my lawyer and a week later i was paying 40%), Tramadol and Carisoprodol are OTC the downside is aside from a few friendly farmacias that sell benzos hydrocodone/clorpheniramine 5/2,5mg caps codeine/apap 60/300mg and dxm (it´s sch III here due to abuse in the 70s), there´s no pharms on the streets, a very very few isolated cases of morphine addicts, mostly from the medical field, my only opioid hookups where an anestheseologist and a student on his senior year of medicine....luckily I have access to scripts and corruption is rampant when it comes to bribes, but you need 3 scripts to buy shit like OC,fent,morphine,methadone, they are all schedule I like illegal drugs, but once you bought them and have them in your possesion they are legal, and police knows jack shit here about pills unless they are flunitrazepam (they are seen as evil and all the generics have green coating and blue dye too, according to law. luckily if you have the knowledge, materials and equipment you can synth it yourself or even better have it synthed for a few bucks, I generally go for 5mg pills (not for date-rape purposes, but due to my tolerance and hating having my mouth and lips all blue....also the binder/filler:active drug ratio can be small ex 10mg per pill, and though I don´t condone this with the right solvents and a good ammount of diluyent it can be IV´d) anyway, sorry for the rant down to what matters, so if you´re planning a trip to Souh America here´s what B.A. has to offer
ILLEGAL DRUGS
MARIJUANA
-Brick Paraguayan brown weed (full of seeds and stems) $20 an ounce
-Brick Paraguayan light green or green weed (sinsemilla, some stems) $35-50 an ounce
-Mids (outdoor homegron) $3-5 per gram
-Hydroponic or Indoor grown weed, various varieties etc, when I left a couple years ago you had to plant it yourself, friends who planted or have good connects that charged really expensive.
Luckily as of late there´s way more homegrown good hydro and indoor weed than when I used to grow it myself depends on who you buy from, but the prices have gone down a lot, it used to be $20-35 a gram for ok stuff back in the early 00´s. Now I´ve done my last harvest for a while and I buy from a friend from high school I met back when I came from sweden, hadn´t seen him in ages, but we started toking together,and since I gave him his first joint and hit of lsd and invited him to smoke and get drunk with us nerd fuckups back when he was a 15 year old overweight kid with zits wearing oversized NIN t-shirts, lol, and now he charges me $5 per gram for AK-47,White Rhino,Northern Lights #5,etc. he makes an awesome wage nowadays and don´t sells his weed, only to a a very few selected grop of friends, Talk about karma!
Most growers here in B.A. are middle-upper middle class or rich males between 20 and 50 and buy feminized seeds from seed banks on the internet, and now there´s also plenty of head shops here where they sell delta 9, imported pieces, make you fertilizers and some sell seeds below the counter we have our own monthly growing/cannabis culture magazine, and evena mini local cannabis cup that´s only with invitation... Generally I buy 30-35 grams of different strains (generally half a pure inica, half a pure sativa, or some new strain I haven´t tried) for $100. But if I didn´t had as a friend from high school one of the finest growers in town prizes prices can go up to $10-20 a gram.
COCAINE
We mostly get very good Peruvian and Bolivian shit, then it depends from who you buy, how cut it is and how much he decides to charge you that night if you don´t have a connect, and hence the price differences. Every social class does coke here, it´s more popular than weed, so in the slums shit that´s top-notch can be cheap as fuck, whilst the white middle class dude that comes in his bosses mercedes to your place 20mins after you call him stuff can be total shit.
There are some kitchens here too, and they are proliferating. The coca leaf comes from Bolivia and is processed. To a much smaller higher class public cocaine crystals are available and Colombian good shit is also avalaible, also a matter of having good hook ups, as you won´t find coke crystals on the streets.
Freebase, and a thing called ¨paco¨which is waste from the semi-industrial base preparations in the kitchens that´s generally 80% cut is sold for cents at the slums for cents and it´s the local version of crack, or at least that´s what the news tryto make people believe, comparing paco to crack is lie comparing methanol to ethanol. Paco is a lower class thing, not that other classes don´t smoke base, but they buy the good stuff or cook it themselves, anyway...
Hcl
My usual hook up has good peruvian and I pay him $9 for a gram vial, but I payed up to $50 for colombian from another very good top-notch connect that has crystals for $100 for 1.5-2grams, and prices can go to $2-30 per gram normally depending on which part of town you buy.
Freebase: good freebase is usually $5 a gram
¨Paco¨Freebase: shitty waste leftover from the kitchens cut someties up to 90% goes for cents a half a gram paper.
HEROIN
only available to a very closed circle, it´s high purity brown colombian #4 that´s here to be smuggled to the states, you need to have the right connects and loads of money as the minimum you can buy is 2gs)
2 grams - $300
LSD
$12 a hit, $8-10 a hit if you buy in quantity (around 25 hits)
$600 a gram vial
ECSTASY
-pills ranging from $8 if you buy from your dealer to $20 if you buy at a club.
As everywhere in the world, some are duds, some are cocktails, some are RC´s (luckily since they are way cheaper than when buying RC´s, but a lot riskier) others are meth-bombs (which I tend to buy around 5-10 when they arfe around since we don´t have amphetamine nor methamphetamine here, unless you decide to cook it yourself) etc. EZ-Test is your friend, I always buy from thre same source which always tested as MDXX, but i had my fair share of duds, cocktails, nexuses and green motorolas (2c-b).
-1g of ¨pure¨ (80% - 95 %) brown-beige crystals (mdma crystals are generally smuggled via netherlands-spain-argentina in exchange for coke, and are also available for a smal number of consumers with contacts) $160
SHROOMS
rare, but generally $10-15 per gram, there are soem parts of the country where shrooms grow freely, but generally over cow dung and far away from B.A. shrooms are available when someone decides to buy sores from the internet and are very intense and good quality.
RESEARCH CHEMICALS
rare, but becoming more widely available lately, depending on which chemical each dose weighed and encapsuled can go from $25 to $100
GBL
99,9% pure according to source (online). anyway this guy sells a 30ml vial for $30 it´s 1g/ml...but as of late fuck that I get sodium oxibate at work to dissolve 3mg in special cups and I always dose around 2.3-2.5ml and keep the rest...much smoother and legal, speaking of legal
LEGAL DRUGS (With Prescription, Oxy is Schedule I as illegal drugs but with the right papers from the health ministry it´s totally legal...our whacky system, I have access to scripts due to my job though I only rarely indulge in morphine,hydrocodone and dxm(it´s schedule III here)and take on a daily basis codeine or tramadol (whichi I´m Scripted), benzos (some which I´m scripted, others I script myself) lyrica (which I´m scripted), Zolpidem and as of late I´ve been taking xyrem and neurontin from work, no harm done the neurontins are going to the bin otherwise and we are full of sodium oxibate a co-worker covers me, shit we work with tons of it for a fibromyalgia research, some patients take up to 3 doses of around 3mg a day, whilst others get placebo)
anyway .... pharmacy prices as of late without insurances

There´s no such thing as MMT here, opiate addiction is almost unheard of, with less than 1% of drug users using opioids. Back in the 90´s Hydro was very cheap and easy to get and use was around 3%, we had bupe back then. But generally only people in the medical field indulge in opioids.

prices can go from from $1 to $40 depending on brand and quantity, if you have access to materials equipment and a lab or know someone who oes synthetizing benzos without the purpose of sale or consumption, just as an investigation it´s ll fine and dandy.

No speed nor meth since there´s so much coke, so actually I like meth bombs, methylphenidate and pemoline are the only uppers aside from the highly abused cocaine, and mdma. I might be forgetting some substance.
