Best to find someone you can trust to get an opinion of any particular type. Strawberries rule! availability: easy to get at any techno nightclubs or raves. otherwise you must know the right people :) MDMA: Eccy $60-$80AUS ~ $40-$55US for a capsule. Varies greatly depending on how many are around and the quality. Not sure about bulk price - never had enough money to waste. quality: Varies greatly as well. Some are weak and some seem to contain anything but MDMA. The occasional good ones are around, but you will either have to pay a lot, or know the right people. availability: There is a lot around just ask any of the people dancing right at the front of a rave. And while you are there, get them a drink of water :) Location: Melbourne, Australia (City Area). Date: 19 July 1993 Marijuana: $20-$25 (Australian Currency)/gram, reasonable quality heads. $80-$130/quarter ounce (average $115-$120, not often under $100) Hash: $15 to $30.

[3rd source, September 10 1993] LSD: $AUS25[~$16.25]/blotter. White paper, with very blurry black graphic printed. Quality: unknown dosage. I'd guess fairly low. i found it to be fairly introspective, but not very visual... but i think that's just the way i react to hallucinogens. I've had two doses from this supplier with similar results. A friend has had one and reported no effect at all. Availability: i've been told that i can get more any time i want it. Summary: overpriced, but that's usual for this country. i haven't ever seen LSD going for less than $20 or $25, unless you buy in bulk. I don't think i'll bother with it again as the price is not worth the minimal effects. Rumour: I hear but haven't confirmed that you can get 50 at around $16 each, or 100 at around $14 each. [4th source, December '93] Cocaine: ~$250[US$175]/g [5th source, June '94. Now xchg A$1=~US$0.70] Pot (sinsemilla) $20[US$14]/g, big discounts in bulk Acid: $25-$35[US$17.50-24.5]/blotter.

Nation: Austria Date: August '93 Location: Wien Hash: 100 Schilling/gram Nation: Cambodia Date: Winter '93-'94 Location: Phnom Pehn Pot: $1 US - 30 grams, $5 - $15 kilogram. Legal in main market. Nation: Canada Province: Alberta Location: Calgary Date: October '93 (Currency : $1 CDN = ~$0.72 US) $1US=~$1.30 CDN or $1 CDn = ~$0.72US. Marihuana: $10-15 [$7.20-10.80]/g; $70-90 [$50.40-64.80]/oz. Excellent quality; 2-3 hits will get you VERY baked. Mostly tight, moist skunky buds. 1 g will give about 5-9 highs. Very available; never a problem finding it. Mostly locally grown Hashish: $10-15.00 [$7.20-10.80]/g. Quality similar to marihuana. Slightly less available then marihuana, but still easy to find. LSD: $3-5 [$2.16-3.60]/hit (0.5 cm paper). Sold mostly on blank blotter paper. Good quality. Good availability, sometimes may have to do some looking around. At present time [Oct '93] very high supply, dealers are fronting sheets at < $1.00 [$0.72]/hit as demand hasn't really changed. Psilocybe mushrooms: $5-8 [$3.60-5.76]/g, ~$90.00 [$64.80]/oz.

Like mushrooms from British Columbia, and imported by Asian Triad Gangs who have greatly increased purity, availability and lowered price. Less available than cocaine, but again, with the right people there aren't any problems. Methamphetamine: ~$100 [$72]/g. Varied quality. From biker gangs located in Ontario and Quebec. Not really available unless you know people in the biker scene. Mescaline: Price unknown, quality unknown. Only the people who bring it here and the people close to them ever see the stuff as supply is low; you really have to know the right people. Rarely available, usually sold in the form of Peyote buttons. XTC: $10-$15 [$7.20-10.80]/g. Quality varies. Availability similar to cocaine. Province: British Columbia Cigarettes: Usually $5-6 [US$3.60-4.32]/25.

Availability Practically non-existant (low rainfall) Province: Nova Scotia Location: Halifax Date: middle September '93 LSD: CDN$5-$7/hit [US$ ~3.60-5.04]. Discounts for bulk purchases. Quality varies widely. Most are not trademarked. I've seen small purplish-green dots, unmarked blotter, and also blotter with a picture of three monkeys emerging from three barrels, with the word "FUN" beneath. 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. Province: Ontario Date: March '94 Cigarettes: Usually ~$3-3.25 [US$2.16-2.34]/25. * Dunhill $3.40-$3.70 [US$2.45-2.66]/25; * Dynasty $2.04 [US$1.47]/20 * Cartons: $17.99 [US$12.95] or $20.75 [US$14.94] for 10 packs of 20.

(too expensive for cheap Mexican weed) Coke: Cnd$75-$80[US$54-57.60] per gram. -These 3 drugs are the main drugs that are mostly sold in Ottawa. Anything else comes from the psychiatrist such as Ritalin and Prozac. These two psych drugs are being sold in the streets of Ottawa for $5 per cap or pill. Province: Quebec Date: March '94 Cigarettes: Usually ~$3-3.25 [US$4.07-4.41]/25. [2nd source, June '94] Hash : 20$[~US$14.40]/gram. $5-7[US$3.60-5.04] for an ounce and more.

Location: Toronto Date: January 1994 MJ: $100.00 Canadian (~70-75 US) for an unweighed smallish 1/2 (more like a 1/3 or a bit less I think). GOOD bud, fragrant (Not skunk) with visible brownish "threads," quite strong - 2 hits was plenty, 3 a little much. Probably grown in Ontario, it seems quite fresh, a little moist and similar to other stuff supposedly grown around western Ontario mostly indoors. [other source, March '94] MJ: CND$70-90[~US$95]/quarter Hash: CND$290-320[~US$395-436]/oz [3rd source, June '94] Pressed Jamacian weed: $150 oz wholesale price...but 1/8 of the weight is seed. Available everywhere. Jamacian Hash: $275 - $300 oz. real good North Ontario "outdoor" buds: $250 oz, $900 qp. Nice buzz, but rather harsh on the throat Hydroponic Mushrooms: $220 oz. Very fine, 1g good, 2 is great (from Montreal so the price is probably less there) XTC: $30 - $40. impossible to find pure, at most raves it MIGHT be 30% and this is for "connected" regulars. 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 Province: Saskatchewan Location: Saskatoon Date: July 12,'93 Weed: $80[~US$109]/quarter, $320[$436]/oz.

The 2nd popular illegal drug -Occasionally special stuff turns up here like Russian (allegedly) PCP blotter (maybe 2cm*2cm square), DOM, ketamine tabs and MDMA mixed with an interesting psychedelic compound. [2nd source, June '94] HASH: Abundant, 60-80 FMK[$11-$15] per gram. Note: Don't buy Russian black hash. Although cheap, it's of very poor quality. MARIJUANA: Rather scarce, 40 FMK[$7.50]/g. Note: Home growing common, but kept very secret. Growers rarely sell marijuana to anybody. 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. Industrial scale production banned due to massive popularity among teenagers. Still available in restaurants. Location: Lahti Date: Summer 1994 Hash: 80 FIM/g - Can't get good stuff, then again I'm not asking everybody I meet on the street. Not worth buying where I get it. Seems hash is everywhere (traditional in Lahti:) I know many different people talk rather openly about their usage (!). Sinsemilla: 30-50 FIM/g - Homegrown, I know several people who grow and when they don't have money sell from their stash. Good stuff. Marijuana: 30 FIM/g - Lots of this stuff available. Quality unknown. LSD: 80 FIM/trip - Don't know source though, heard it's not too potent Location: Oulu Date: June '94 Pot: FIM 100[~$18]/g for Morroccan medium-quality hash. Constantly available, though you've got to know the right people; it is not easy to find.

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.

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. Usually MDA or MDEA) - 10.00 pounds each Bathtub speed - 10.00 pounds per gram - low purity (5%-10% at best) 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: North London Hash: 1/2 oz (14 grams) light brown, not soft, not hard, medium quality 50 pounds [July 11 '93] Location: South London [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. [other source, end October '93] Hashish: 85 pounds sterling [~$150]/ounce. Yellow-brown, flaky (Moroccan?). 0.5 in. thick block. Availability good in October; not much around now. Location: West London (Greenford) [16 December '93] Cannabis Resin: Mostly red seal, soft or rocky. Good quality. 85-90 UK pounds (c.$140? not sure) per ounce. Readily available (on demand). 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.

Location: Oxford Grass: 35 pounds/ 1/4 oz (7 grams) Very high quality [July '93] "my dealer tells me its Dutch grown skunk weed - it certainly smells." 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: Redhill (Surrey) Date: March '94 MJ: 13 quid/eigth, 80 quid/oz. 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.

Marijuana: 1/8 of an ounce costs 100 NIS ($33.00). 35 grams for 800-1000 NIS depending on quality (usualy VERY GOOD-$270-$337) Hashish: Basically the same price as grass, but more available.
