Hi im new here, and i just wanted to share som information here for you. The deal is like this,i use opiates regularly and 50% of the time its heroin. I live in sweden, and pretty way up north and the more up north you live the more expensive the stuff is. But i live in a pretty big town, prob around 200,000 people living here compared to stockholm (the capital which has 1 million) I just wanted to tell you about the fucked up situation that is over here!
In my town it works like this: The people you buy the stuff from you know, there is no "Street-dealing" here, so thats actually good as the risk of being screwed is minimal. The deal is that the drugs are SO fucking expensive, what people sell here are called "Packs" and "Cabbs". One "pack" contain 0.1 gram(100mg) of heroin and one "Cab" is 0.2 gram(200mg). I dont know how much a "Street bag" contains over there in the U.S but from reading here it seems pretty cheap (Around 10-20 bucks). The problem is that one "pack" costs 50 bucks and one "cabb" costs 100 Bucks (Ive calculated what one swedish krona is worth and 10 kronas is one dollar so the pack kosts 500 krons and one cabbs kosts 1000 kronas) altough the shit almost always is strong, really pure stuff, and sometimes i can buy grams for around 200-300 bucks but that is not so often i can do that,and sometimes every third month it comes in what you call "rocks" . I dont know why i posted this but it may be interesting to read for somone. I just wanted to compare the heroin situation over here and the situation in the U.S.
So what does your streat bags contain in weight and price?
 
Yeah, a bag of really pure east coast US heroin cost between $10-20 for about 100mgs.
And that would be what we describe as "rocks", because it looks like brown/tan/white little pebbles or stones or something.
You wouldn't ask your dealer for "rocks", though. It's mostly just a term used when describing the quality of the heroin. Rocks tend to be better than other forms of heroin most of the time, the other forms in the US being powder and tar.
 
here in the South of the UK all the H I've seen was light tan rocks.
Quite high quality I belive and they're normaly sold in £10 raps. Probably about .2g.
One thing about the price convertion though is that I think you earn more in Sweden than we do over here.
So allthough food/drink/drugs are more expensive where you are, its probably not to much different as a ratio of your pay, if you follow me.

I can see your point but the way i figgure its the total opposite, an averge person here in sweden makes about 13-15000 Kronas a month, and thats around 1000£, i think. And if we do our math here 1 100mg pack kosts around 38£ (0.1g) and is around 1/20 of a pay check. Your uk 10£ bags contains 0.2g (200mg) and is 150 kronas and that is 1/80 of a pay check if you would direct calculate it...aww shit everything here in sweden is really expensive mostly due to the taxes alltough we get it back in free dental care, free hospital care, wellfare, and they actually pay you to go to college (alltough its a lona, they call it student loans) The point is that HEROIN costs much in sweden and it pisses me off, and there isnt much of it either :)
