Why do Aussies pay so much for meth?

Because Australia is an Island, that makes all drugs harder to import and therefore more expensive.

We got one hell of a moat.

Chinese meth is way way stronger than the trash Mexican and white hill billy meth they get in the states. Very addicting and powerful allowing you to get alot out of a gram. society would completely collapse if it got that cheap lol.

I was wondering if this might be at least part of the reason.

I'm not a meth person, I mean I've used meth I've just never used it regularly. But I am a heroin person and heroins more expensive here too. And yet I'm certain that's at least partially justified since Australian heroin definitely seems to be way better on average than the shit in the US.

Also, I uhh, have a confession to make...
I've traded broken electronics for drugs too.

Aussies must just be really amenable to accepting broken tech as currency?

Yeah the Chinese market has arrived and prices plummeted.
In the 5 years I’ve been buying I’ve seen prices plummet to half what I paid when I started.

Sadly though, quality STILK isn’t there.
Every idiot with an internet connection fancies himself a pro cook, so unless you have decent connections (bikers mostly in my area) you end up with a cheap ass bag of cutter and 2% meth.
