ok so what did you used to pay for your stuff back when you was new to drugs and how has the price changed over the years and has the quality got better or worse?

i'm only in my mid twenties and have been using drugs on and off for about 11 years and even in that short time a lot has changed. i first started smoking weed about 02/03 and hash was just as available as the weed then and £20 would get you 3.5 at least and some dealers would even give you 3.6 or 3.7. but now dealers are so stingey that unless you know them quite well your lucky to 2 grams for £20 and hash seems to be very rare now at least in my area. i have noticed the strength of the skunk seems stronger now almost too strong i don't know if its because i rarely smoke it that it feels that way cuz my tollerence is low but i just don't enjoy it like i used to seems much more mongey.

as for mdma/E i had my first pill back in 03 i was paying 3 for a tenner there were pink with the letters HD on them and they were amazing not in a overwhelming cant move way but just so lovey dovey feeling compared to the pills now. then up until 2007 the pills just got worse you could get 5 for a tenner they felt dirty and have a horrible come down so i decided i was done with pills and and moved to mdma which was nice but still never felt like those pills i had back in 03 but was better than the shitty pip pills going around at the time like the mitzies and micky mouses a gram of mdma used to cost anyting from 40 to 50 quid and is still the same now. now though there seems to be a big increase in the quality of pills but its came at a price with the average price for 1 pill being £10. recently had some pills like the snowflakes, defqons, androids and they are even stronger than the first ones i had but in a different way not as much lovey feeling but more intense rushes put you on your ass kinda fucked but still nice.

only started using coke about 05 and was paying £40 on the gram was ok stuff but i was never a huge fan of coke cuz i thought it was never worth the price and you still feel like having more and more and a gram would be gone in no time. the quality got worse and worse and i finally decided i was through with coke after buying some which felt no stronger than necking loads of pro plus tablets. kids on the street now are selling it as little as £30 on the gram. i heard that most coke sold in the uk now is as little as 5% pure. i can now get some relly nice coke which i been told is 70% pure but can cost between 60 and 70 quid per g but is so strong i didn't even get thru a gram in one night i can honestly say i have never felt what real coke was like til i tried this stuff. still a expensive habbit tho so don't use very much just special occasions.

only started using acid about 3 years ago but is really hard to get so when i did get it i bought quite a bit in one go. always seemed quite good strength wise cost about £7 per tab and 2 used to do me nicley but people who are older than me told me that the old acid you would only need one and you were fucked for hours they said the same about the pills back in the day were strong too like the love doves etc.

i have used various legal highs i wont go into all of them so i will just mention the most common one mephadrone. remember back in 09 i asked someone if they could get me any mdma and they said no but i got this new stuff called meow. i thought sounds a bit dodgey but i was on one and couldn't get anything else so thought fuck it. railed up a fat line like it was the shit coke i used to get them WHAM it hit me like a ton of brick i felt so floaty my jaw was all over the place my eyes were shaking so bad i couldn't see straight was more intense than my first pill but the burn up the nose was horrible and make your eyes water. it was strong but felt very toxic and on big binges i would have memory blackouts and just be standing somewhere thinking how the fuck did i get here?

then they made mephadrone illegal and the quality went right down and the price went up. when it was legal you could buy it as little as a tenner a gram and it was pure. now its 15 to 20 quid a gram and is nowhere near the same as the old stuff the only thing that is the same is the nose pain infact its probably worse! lol

i have used various other drugs like amphet/base but was never a regular user like the other drugs i could get base for tenner a gram now which is same as it was back in 04 seems the same strenght wise too.

so be intersting to hear from some of you older mash heads too tell us what you think has changed and is it for better or worse? i only have a short history but so much has changed over those years i thought it was worth mentioning and sharing with you all.
 
not as pure as whatever stim you were on :D

I reckon you've not had any replies because the topic has been discussed quite a lot in other threads. All (street) drugs have got worse, and the price has gone up!

The 3-MeO-PCP and GBL around now is better than anything from back in the day though ;)
 
Weed is much more expensive and worse quality, mdma is cheaper from 50 down to about 30 a gram at the same qualit, ket is still 20 a gram and the same good quality too. That's about all I still get these days.

Haha my man knows ;-) had a night of some dutch bangers followed by some good quality flake then as everyone went got bored and went on bluelight to write this.

Never tried 3-meo-pcp is it supposed to be like PCP? Never tried GBL either. Had a phase of doing AMT every week used to love it when I could get the grey hcl stuff I never found the freebase as good.
 
Weed is stinking , high grade , £240 an OZ or £180 for what is known as Chinky Weed, probably Lowriders or something, everycunt and their Granny grows weed in My area and every town and village for miles and miles

Coke is too addictive and I think I've became ammune cos the stuff is good , £25 a g, 5 for £100

Hash I don't even entertain, £15 a q, £300 a bar

Speed is pure now goes on the street for £10 a g or get the stuff that's been cut about 5 times still absolutely bangin for £30 an OZ

Street Valium just does not contain Valium anymore whereas it used to be bangin, thank god for the internet.

2CB Pills go for 5 - 10 kwid

Paper Acid roughly the same

That's about it, Weed will always be bangin and Speed is probably the only man made drug that is still high quality.

Edit : How could I forget PF (Plant Food) Mephedrone back on the scene now known as Super PF, £25 a G , £300 an OZ, Stuff is dangerously potent , pure crystal , nearly killed myself on it

This (and rest of thread) could probably do with accounting for inflation and (fnar fnar) wage rises to see what % of post-tax salary you can get ya drugs for.

Sorry, that's the City banker in me coming out. Much better comparison than £ for £ though.
 
I could not get what people would now call weed - you got resin/block. Gold seal, Red Seal, Red Leb etc - was sold in 16ths at 7.50£ -

Ecstasy was 25£ for one (pre Doves) -

Coke was 60 /70 £ a g - if you were in the know (was never offered it)

Speed (at that time it was called sulphate) - was about 10£ a g, that you could easily split with two mates for a night out

LSD - 5£ a tab (were talking Ohms/ Mind Body n souls, the Worlds etc)

/ was no base / no ketamine / or fancy RC's :D

I have no idea of purity of any of the above - speed was amazing, pills were amazing, LSD was amazing :D

1998-99 - Ecstasy £10 each, £70 for 10 or £500 for 100. Lovely crumbly, parma violet scented mitsubisis. Always from the same supplier, always excellent. Other pills around that time were nowhere near as good.
 
^ White mitsubishi in 1999 was my first pill. IR£15 punt for 2.

Hash was IR£25 a Q at that time. Now it's nearly €90 for a Q of weed!
 
Heroin got cheaper around 1995 really cheap , then it steadily went up .

2010 drought fuked it 4ever it's all over the place these days depends on yer location n connects

My 1st E was 1992 £15 red n Black .

Acid was dirt cheap less than a £1 a tab or microdot back in mid 90s .

Hash good hash was always £10 8th sometimes less . Thai weed was £5 for a bag of about 2.5gs n it was real thai as well .

Skunk started at £25 an 8th went down to £20 n then it got fuked up by organised criminals

£25 for one pill? Fuck me they would of have had to of been at least 300mg
 
Weed got well crap over the years, i remember around 04 era when i started smoking it was 20 on the 8th regardless of strain. Then there was the summer drought of 2006 and it all got shit from there. then the sprayed weed came in and not too long after 10 on the G.

Back in '92. Damn Brimz is hardcore. That's probably not a compliment. Do you remember the sonic and Mario pills?

I was usually on acid but I think my first E was a Dove, or White Dove? Can't remember how much it cost. Was probably '93 or around that time. Think I got spangled? Oh I see they've already been mentioned.

That's as helpful as I can get right now =D
 
I can still remember one particular Dove circa 1991/2 haggled him down to £15 (from usual£20) in a multi story car park basement...the best 24 hours of my life! Brown Biscuits circa 1992/93-allegedly contained H and you always threw up but then they kicked in SOO hard..usually £10 if you were buying 10-15 ...sigh. Not had anything like them since then..

Circa 1996-pills for £4-still better than anything now although weaker, less euphoric and shittier comedown.

Drugs cost more-drugs seemed better and purer...that goes for typically all your old party/social drugs. 1989-Pink champagne £10 a gram....lasted you all night and sometimes beyond. sighhh...I was a child! Teeny bit older than Brimz!

Oh and Colombian;1994 untill about 4 years ago always 50 a g. Now 70-100...or 40 if you live where I live! But not a trace of anything recognisable in it....may as well snortal a sherbert dib dab. pfft.

weed has definetly got a lot better in quality since my early smoking days, started in '03 and remember lots of soapbar, there was nice green about just nothing as intense as in the past few years. although its gone from 3.7g for 20 to 1.4-2g for 20 =[
md/pills have got worse =[ used to get 4-5 decent (100-120mg imo) pills for a tenner, now I see ten quid pills! and their nothing special, again imo.
The md about has got cheaper, which I don't quite understand ha, but its hit and miss on quality, iv had some that's been spot on and some that I assume wasn't mdma (judging by recent discussion on here) and all around 30-40 quid for .8-1g.
 
Early 90's 91-94 e's £15 (doves,swans,dollars,flat liners,callies e.t.c) hash was £30 a q for proper stuff soap bar £15 a q microdots red/pink/black £3 blotters red Russian purple ohms £1.50-£2.50 speed £10 a g but good I was getting some nice Swazi weed hardly any sticks for £15 a q and the occasional skunk for £15 8th coke £60 a g............tbh I thought the quality was a lot better than now maybe cos I was young and care free.....not the jaded miserable cunt I am now.
