Actually, quite a lot of this surprises me. For one thing, my rather well-informed friend informs me that the price quoted for Canada is low, off by about 20% (this is for BC, and it’s logical to assume that provinces which don’t produce enough pot to have a strain named after them charge more for what they have to truck in). For another, I’m quite surprised to see that pot is cheaper in the UK than it is here OR in the Netherlands, which produces quite a lot of their pot. Where the hell are they getting it from, SCOTLAND? or is the IRA giving it to them at a discount (professional courtesy?). Also note that the price quoted for Singapore does not include the price of the bullet with which they execute you. The family pays for that, I hear.

Scotland? Why not?
My northern spies tell me of large deliveries off the west coast with, the story goes, one dealer making enough to take over the local pub/hotel.
The rumoured latest scam is to apply for a grant for a wind generator thus state subsidised electricity for all those heat lamps….
Ye’ll be havin’ a wee toke wi’ yer dram, then, Duncan?
Best,
STB.
Okay, but that would only make sense if the pot were cheaper in Ireland…which it’s not. I always thought Ireland got their pot from the US, which they sold to the UK and took the money and bought American guns with it and thus came full circle.
Yea, but.
The Yanks will only sell in quarter containers to the Irish, who then have a surplus. We hold out to increase our discount having already done the deal with you lot. Our redistribution costs are negligible (rounding off of brick corners, strip of tartan, Haggis ingredient labels.) and we only sell at factory gate prices, so importing is your problem. The yanks are also teed off ‘cos, since 911 they can’t sell the guns as easily so they increase the minimum order to compensate.
Classic Adam Smith.
STB.
ps. Like the redesign, much cleaner and quicker.
I like the way South Africa seems to be less than a dollar a gram…
PS. you might want to have a look at this, from about three weeks ago, to see the “official” Loyalist line on drugs in Belfast.
That price also looks a bit cheap for Britain. But then, I leave in a relatively affluent area and only buy (reasonably) top quality stuff (well…the best I can get) so that probably explains it.
Anyway, I always thought it was pricey, so I guess I’m impressed.
I think it is in China that they charge the family for the bullet. In the meantime, my next communication could well be from South Africa – – –
What’s cannabis, dude? I know weed, pot, reefer, spliff, fattie, draw, mary jane, dope, shit, smoke, bud, blaze, chronic, marijuana and happy stuff. Well, for starters…
I second the “field trip” to South Africa, too.
Oh, yeah…And the cost of Doritos is way too high. Or is that me…
It’s like heroin. Whatever it is we’ll pay it.
Sod.
Thank you for posting this. Turns out my dealer’s been totally ripping me off–even when I use my Frequent Flyer Club Card and the coupon.
On the other hand, after my next purchase I get one free.
“Spliff”. Whoa, it’s retro night at raincoaster’s!
Metro, those Dorito guys lie like a rug. Don’t trust him.
Why on earth would one not trust a drug dealer?
Actually, Doonesbury once pointed out that the great thing about the watertight-pearl-clutcher attitude to medical pot by US officialdom has had one minor interesting side effect: Putting 50-year-old white conservative ladies with cancer in the living rooms of guys nicknamed “Mad Dawg Mo’fo”.
A lot of conservative ladies RAISED (or abandoned) those mad dawgs, so it’s turnabout is fair play.
Well, yours might be cheaper but ours is some of the strongest. And considering it’s one of the only drugs that isn’t mostly imported (and hence has to run the gauntlet of our very observant customs officers) I’m surprised to see it that high. The $$ rate seems high for around here.
I would be interested to see that list re-ordered by $/unit of THC.
Well that, of course, depends on your connections. I wonder what kind of connections the editor of the Economist has?
Well, the price in canada is usually 10$ a gram standard, but the Economist is quoting US prices. It could be 6-10$ a gram easily, and Japan can be 100$+ Also BC isnt the only place famous for weed, Quebec is too.
Incidentally, they dont execute you in Singapore for a small amount of marijuana, just for trafficking, or so I read…
Very useful. But the thing I remember about Singapore is it seems to define ANY amount as enough to be trafficking. Either way, I wouldn’t take a chance. I won’t even wear hemp clothing to the airport!
