LMAO... I guess it's better to have stupid & ignorant enemies instead of smart ones.

This is from the DEA testimony to congress- November 2005.

"It is important to note that heroin is typically valued at 8 to 10 times that of cocaine on America’s streets."

Really? Try 2 to 3 times the price of coke in the real world, but thanx for the laugh... Jackasses. :p

[IceCold]

In some places that may be true and in other places false.

I'd like to see one single person come forward to declare that in their part of the U.S., heroin costs over 8 times as much as coke by weight.

Not gonna happen...

[StillChippin]

Wow thats crazy , then again in GA H is preety scarce unless your willing to drive to the trap in Atl.....no thank you im to suburbian for that lol, so from what i hear H is between 160 and 200 a gram when we get it and coke is between 30-40 a gram so thats about 4-6 times as high a price.....1 per mg for oxy too.... its a cold fucking world ....but a hot fucking summer:p

[ProdigalSon]

H is around $175 a gram average here for a decent batch of brown, but you usually pay about $200. Depending on what city your in and obviously how pure it is. Seems like the all around going price IME

The price difference could have something to do with purity of each substance.

[HeidiW]

Yeah, don't supply and demand have something to do with prices?
If you're the only person in town selling dope, you can set the price at whatever the fuck you want.

[MttJocy]

This is a DEA statistic after all so cherry picking is probably at work to make their point in this case probably comparing the highest recorded price for heroin to the lowest recorded price for cocaine probably in totally different areas of course and utterly useless if you wanted to learn anything from the statistic, good if you are the DEA and need to support the utter fucking farce that drug prohibition is and of course cherry picking data to suit your case is the ONLY way one can support such a structure.

Well the only way you can support it unless protecting the drug gangs profits, killing people etc are the stated aims of policy.

Very good point! if so thats a blatant manipulation of facts on their part. When dope and coke start being sold pure everywhere then what they're saying will ring true. To an ignorant public this makes them think that a gram of heroin would be like $550.....This is a way to bolster propaganda.

[Rhonda]

They always lie if it makes them look good. Like when they make a drug seizure and its always worth a zillion dollars street value. Otherwise they lose some of there govt funding and wouldnt that be a shame?
