The last was the strongest; apx. equivalent to 2 dots. I have heard of many more varieties being available at different times and from different sources, but since I don't have direct experience with them I can't comment. Price/hit seems to be the same regardless of quality. Availability also varies widely. It is often plentiful for many months, and then dries up completely for many more months.

Usually 33% mix of X, cocaine, and meth... PCP "Poo" - not my scene, but its available.... same goes for Ludes and shit like that Heroin: $40 for one-nights worth. Nice brown powder is quite prevalent, and pure enough so that you don't have to inject. Smart drugs: trick here is to get to know the guys running the smart bars at parties, then after a few parties ask them for the "real" smart drugs...otherwise your just taking smart nutrients (waste) Cocaine: price depends on supplier/purity. From Bikers a gram of IMO shit is $90 - $100. If you're going the "black dude with a pager" route then look to spend the same amount of money for coke that is 1/2 pure. I've seen an oz of medium stuff $1100.... also VERY high quality (injection only) stuff is $110 - $125 [November '94] Acid: sheet (100): about CND$150.

SPEED: Quite common, 300-400 FMK[$55-75]/g LSD: Availability varies, prices vary a lot, 30-200 FMK[$6-37] per hit. Sold as blotter. MDMA: Scarce, 250 FMK[$46] per hit MUSHROOMS: Season from September to October. Various Psilocybe species. Not very common, requires a trip to the countryside. Hardly ever sold on the street. ALCOHOL: By far the most popular intoxicant. Very good domestic beer. Prices comparable to other Scandinavian countries, exept beer and wine a little cheaper. Speciality: 'Salmiakki' = Vodka mixed with ammonium chloride. Very strong, the ammonium chloride takes away the taste of alcohol, so it's easy to get really drunk after a few shots.

A price for DM 15..20 for a pill of X appears to be a wish of the person who told you this rather than reality" XTC: street price usually is DM 30. Good stuff may be sold for DM 35 at times. Prices of DM 20 and lower do occur, but unless the supplier is a very good friend of you, it usually is rubbish. Cocaine: sold for DM 180..250. Different from XTC, the price does not say anything about quality. You may get good stuff for 180 and rubbish for 250 as well. Amphetamine (speed): usually sold for DM 30 (average quality) or DM 35..40 (good or very good quality). Hash: DM 10..20.

You'll need a good connection to pay less when buying in small amounts. 100grams cost between DM 500 and 800. price is about the same everywhere in Germany, and strongly depends on the amount you take (just like all other drugs). XTC: DM 35/tab. Prices vary from city to city, Munich prices being rather high, but they have dropped significantly in the last 6 months (from DM 50 a tab to DM 35). Again, buying from friends or buying in large amounts will be cheaper. 100 tabs usually cost between DM 18 and 22. Coke: DM 200 a gram, DM 150 if you know the right people but still want quality. I don't know about other cities. LSD: DM 15 and 25 (best quality) a piece, I think. Again, Munich only.

Weed turns up now and again, and can range from home grown to skunk buds. I would say that there are probably only 3-4 price bands in the UK, they are London, Southern Cities, Northern Cities, Out Of Town...

Quality varies - good stuff red/gold seal ,morrie black etc. Kiddies can get fobbed off with 'formula' - horrible petrol/diesel like stuff. Along with grass the easiest to get. If you know a dealer and he's a brilliant (and probably stupid) friend you may get a small sample of '0','double O' or 'treble O' - cannabis resin laced with opium. Its pretty unusual to see this in the market place though as its so valued. As with anything discounts are there for buying an ounce ;say 100 pounds an ounce roughly. Grass: Same availability as dope - pubs or friends. Same price Acid: From 2.50 pounds to 5 for a tab. Types: super mario, jurassics parks (shite), gates to heaven, strawberries and hundreds of others. Quality does vary greatly. Certain pubs are easy to score in but mainly from aquaintances who deal small time. speed: similar price to acid but slightly harder to get. Cocaine: 60-80 pounds a gramme Location: Leeds Date: August 18 '93 Marijuana: Usually sold by people in flats/houses here, with some pubs that are well known for scores. Four main types generally available: - SoapBar: 5 pounds/gram, 15/eight, 45/.5 ounce, ~600/9 ounce Hard and dark it comes in large lumps just like a bar of soap! by far the best consistant smoke it is available most of the time. "prices have not changed to my knowledge in 6 years." - Fluff or Slate Lighter in both weight and appearance to soapbar, comes in square flat pieces like a slate! Not as good as soapbar (seems to contain less oil), although when burnt it fluffs up to about double the size. Prices are the same as for soap but the deals tend to be slightly bigger. - Bush or Weed Usually of poor quality with very small deals, does contain seeds and buds but not really a good smoke. Prices are approx DOUBLE than the others. - Black Black, flexible, smelly and it doesn't crumble but rolls into lines like plastacine. The quality again is usually worse than soap and fluff and is not generally bought (except for some groups who for some reason like it better than the others ). prices/deals same as fluff. Lsd: ~2-3 pounds/trip. Available from simular sources. The trips are all usually blotting paper about 5mm to 10mm square, range from strawberrys, purple ohms, super marios to chess pieces, white lightnings and flying keys. Quality is good and consistant. XTC: ~10-20/pill, depending on quality. Always available, similar to lsd range and choice fluctuate so much. Cocaine: 45-60/gram. Rarely about, quality unknown. Heroin: Always avialable, but range, quality and price is unreliable Location: Liverpool Date: January '94 Hash - 90 - 100 pounds per oz.Invariably Moroccan/Lebanese Grass - 90 - 120 pounds per oz. - usually Jamaican/West African Cocaine - 40 to 50 pounds per gram - approx. 40 - 60% purity (average) Heroin - 50 to 60 pounds/gram - near eastern heroin base. Rarely cut (60-80%) 10mg diamorphine ampoule - 2.50 pounds (Grey market pharmaceutical shit from Dr.Johnny Marks) 100mg diamorphine ampoule - 20 - 25 pounds (a man-sized hit! Same source) 10mg methadone ampoule - 2.50 pounds (all over) 100mg methadone linctus - 10 pounds Acid (Blotter) - 1 hit - 2 pounds MDMA (or what passes for it.

Cocaine: BPd40-BPd50 a gram, BPd1000 -BPd1200 per ounce. Good quality and it is tending to come down in price at the moment Heroin: Brown smoking gear BPd50 -BPd60 a gram, BPd1000 an ounce E's: Doves BPd10 each, BPd500 per 100 Acid: all kinds designs change every week BPd2 - BPd3 each, BPd150 per 100 Speed: BPd100-BPd120 per ounce, BPd10 a gram. Amphet sulphate, not very good quality but better here than in most of the area Note- These prices have been stable in Liverpool for some months now. The only big changes around is the amount of cocaine about it seems to be all over the place at the moment and it is pushing quality up and prices down a bit. Crack is still not very popular in the area but is starting to become more available as the dealers realise they can maximise their profits with it mainly for novelty value. Location: London Date: May '94 Nightclub prices : 10 a gram of speed (6-15% pure) 3-4 a tab of acid (from very potent to pure cardboard) 15 an XTC (pills quite pure - avoid capsules) 50 a gram of cocaine (6-15% pure) 15 an eighth of grass or hash University prices (central): 7-10 a gram of speed 2.50-3.50 a tab of acid 13-15 an XTC 40-50 a gram of cocaine 10-15 an eighth of hash 13-15 an eighth of grass Location: London (North) Hash: 1/2 oz (14 grams) light brown, not soft, not hard, medium quality 50 pounds [July 11 '93] Location: London (South) [end October '93] Hash: 85 pounds sterling/ounce [~$150]. 0.5 in. thick block, yellow-brown, flaky (Moroccan?). Availability was good in October; not much around now.

It is possible to get at least 5 or 6 different types of hash but you need to know the right dealers. You can even get stuff here like `Zero-Zero' or Pollen. Weed/Killer Skunk much much more easier to get here in the last couple of months than ever before. Last year I saw grass here maybe once or twice, now it's available virtually all the time. My dealer makes Fudge which he farms out at 5 [~$9] a bag with a being 1/2 oz. or so. We can get greenage called Haze ? which is about 50 [~$88]/ 1/4 oz and it is about as good as Northern Lights...oh sticky bud.

Marijuana/Grass: c.120 UK pounds per oz. V.good quality. Available, but a long way down the dealer chain so delivery slow. LSD: 3 UK pounds per hit. Quality average but consistent. Psycadelic trip on about 2-3 hits. Recent flavours: test tubes (good ones :), sunbursts, penny farthings. Purchased in lots of ten. Available on demand. Speed: 8-10 UK pounds per gram. Very potent. Requires several weeks notice, delivery still uncertain. Location: Newcastle Upon Tyne (University) Date: November '94 Marijuana: 1/8 of an ounce: usually around #15. Location: Norwich Date: November '94 Marijuana: 70-90 quid an ounze (600 for 9oz) Location: Oxford [January '95] Cannabis: Prices (GBP/Oz): 15/ 1/8th; 25/ 1/4th; 45/ 1/2; 85/ 1; 650/ 9 (last one is a rumour); "I'd guess 2250GBP for 1 kilo".

Location: Telford, '94 Reading festival [Shropshire, in midlands near Wolverhampton, Newcastle] Cannabis: 1/8 of an ounce costs ~#15 [~$22] "However a weighed 1/8th doesn't necessarily weigh an eighth."" Nation: Grenada Location: Carriacou Weed: Big handful of mixed weed (leaf, stem, bud, seed) for 80EC without much haggling, so local prices are probably significantly lower. I couldn't weigh it, but it was well over an ounce. At the time, 1US was 2.7EC (I bought EC for $0.55 Canadian), so that's less than $30US an ounce. The quality was very good, a sort of rolling buzz that made concentration very focussed, without making us tired. The improvement in boot-knocking was astonishing. The flavour left a little to be desired - a bit harsher than I'd like. A J of pure bud, of course, would be much sweeter. Nation: Guatamala Location: San Pedro Date: June 1993 MJ: Q40.00 (about $8.00 US) per OUNCE (Wow! Don't bother with Roach Clips man) but you better not leave San Pedro with any on you. Medium quality bud, apparently imported from Belize but some is grown in the mountains locally, dried out, green in colour, took about a joint worth. Nation: Hungary Date: July '94 Pot: F 300/joint, stones ~2 people. Lsd: F 1000 (700-800 with good connections)/trip. Good quality; Sun, Buddha, Druid.

Comes from Aceh province. Availability is very good in Bali, Yogyakarta, Lake Toba, Bukitinggi. Nation: Ireland Location: Dublin Date: Spring 1995 Exchange Rate: 1 Ir.Punt = 2.22 DM ~ 1.59 $ (with 1 US$ = 1.40 DM) Hash: * "official" prices: 1 ounce (28.35 g)= 110-120 Punt 1 quarter (7.09 g)= 25-30 Punt * actual price: - I twice got "two quarters" (14.17 g) for 50 Punt and 60 Punt. But it was only 11 g and 10 g, so the price is 130-170 Punt per ounce. (Usually very dark stuff - strong! Be careful with dope that smells strange - called "diesel". Nobody uses scales! Only if you buy a whole ounce you get a reasonably good price.) LSD: 5 Punt (Strawberry, Penguin, Red Eye, Green Eye, etc.) E: 15 Punt per pill -Note: Availability: Depends VERY MUCH on the people you know. These aren't street prices. [May '95] Hash: * Soapbar & Afgan Black(Squidgy) : Usually 35 pounds for 1/4 ounse. Very good smoke. 100 per ounce. * Leb or Slate : Come in 4 ounce slates for about 350 pounds. Not great smoke but light * Rockie : Excellent smoke but difficult to find: 110 per ounce Grass: * Super Skunk : Mind blowing stuff (load of red hairs). 150 pounds per ounce but incredibly rare. * Homegrown : 110 per ounce, quality ranges and so does availability. Ecstacy: White doves, Orange doves, Beetles, Sonics, Mad Bastards, Crackers new yorkers.... etc. Very easy to get but the quality isn't the best (white dove are the safest bet)- 15 pounds street prices. If you know my dealer 10 - 12. LSD : Microdots, Strawberrys, red dragons, black stars, aliens...etc. Pretty good quality. Ricky Rockets are excellent. Price: 3-5 pounds Shrooms : Pick your own from the mountains September to November. Excellent. Speed: 10 pound for a wrap (2/3g). Can be great but not as common as E's Cocaine : 80 pound for gram street price. Availibility limited, quality ranges. Heroin : 25 pounds per 1/4g. Very common. Dublin is said to be the heroin capital of Europe. -Note: Ireland seems to have a very strange way of measuring ounces as an ounce usually turns out to be 25-26 grammes rather than the globally accepted 28 grammes per ounce so expect to be short of 2-3 grammes. Location: Limerick [March '95] Hashish: Standard price is 1/16th of an ounce for IRL 10, "but judging on the deals that my friends get, it's more like 1/20th of an ounce, and some end dealers will cut up the ounce much more, into, say, 25 to 30 cuts." Grass: "rare, so I couldn't comment on prices" LSD: about 5 pounds a hit. Ecstacy: hovers between 12 and 18 pounds. 15 is the norm, with 12 being for biggish orders (say anything over 7 or 8), known dealer, etc, while 18 is common inside night clubs from an unknown dealer, or if there's a scarcity. Quality is quite good, although it's not as good or consistent as other places in the country, esp the North of Ireland. Most tabs seem pure, if a little low on real MDMA. MDA: in tabs for about 14 or 15 pounds (I suppose 100mg or thereabouts, but I'm not sure). Available as pure MDA (not advertised as something else) -Note: cocaine, heroin and speed available, can't comment on prices. "According to the newspapers, the price of heroin is at an all-time low since some gangs in Dublin have flooded the market. May go back up again.
