I buy mostly in semibulk amounts to keep the cost down. My meth in particular, I buy 1/2oz typically. Sometimes a 1/4oz. Either way Im getting a way, way lower dollar per gram ratio. I buy outside my area too, from a bigger city. Sometimes I make the trip and sometimes I get delivery.
If an average value for a gram of meth is 10, street level local prices, I pay a 3 on average. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Thats also been a 2, once.
Everything else I get I get at some reasonable price too when I see the same people. If 10 is average street price for anything, Id say coke I get at 7 or 8, fentanyl at a 6, MDMA and K I think I pay average but not 100% what things cost, GHB I get super super cheap. 2 or 3 for sure. Acid I pay regular price but its strong acid. As it should be.
Pot is legal but I rarely get it legally. Its so much cheaper, and so much better quality through a rez store or a vendor than the official store. Canada really needs to learn from this experience legalizing pot - that if you are to legalize a substance, then falling behind by several months immediately with zero stores and a broken website which cant serve a product.. which it cant keep up with even sheer amount of plant matter. Running the system this way, with this dumb fucking lottery system to open just a few stores occasionally, and selling overpriced stale shit isnt doing anything to compete with the black market around pot. One if the main points if legalizing is to take control back from the criminal underground, and Canada failed here in a really big way.
Itll get resolved over the next several years Im sure. Good time to invest in pot btw, now. The market which is being artificially shrunk by boneheaded drug policies which are ineffective and further regulation and opening of stores is slow as slow comes. Its literally the perfect time to buy. Marijuana has nowhere to go but UP and theres going to be a LOT of well off investors as long as they can see the pattern here.
