why won't cartels raise their prices?
They just sell shittier product, similar to shrinkflation
>>533393758no it's literally the same purity, within a deviation it's still ~90% going for $50 for 7 grams. that's really cheap.
Why fo drugbdealers go after poor people when they can just get a rich guy addicted then just milk him for money until he is broke. Just seems like a better business model then milking a guy who has no money at all and sucks dick to even afford drugs. Just get one of your CEO's who buys coke off you to tey meth or some other even more addciting drug and boom, you just parasite off his bank account through his now crippling addiction. Just never understood why dealers even deal with poor people.
you're talking about this like the rate for black market amphetamine is public knowledge or something
>>533393592Everything is supply and demand. Supply is plentiful because the precursors are dirt cheap in Mexico. Huge superlabs can produce literal tonnes of meth cheaply and quickly.It's why weed is so cheap here. You can get an ounce of decent weed for $80 CAD. That same ounce would've cost $150 before legalization.
>>533393856Point for point it's $30 some places here. 80 an ounce is chicken feed. Bricks I'm guessing go for 1500? Jail prices are ridiculous. 100 for a 0.2
And no don't use. Used to sell weed but that's an ass pickle now. You can get a pound of AA hybrid 13-15% for a 100 bucks.
>>533394250this, it isnt hard to make meth if you have the space and the power to evade your government, heck, they dont really enforce shit down there so there's always a glut of meth.
>>533393592>why won't cartels raise their prices?Afraid of losing market share to heroin and crack.
>>533393592because it's lost popularity, market demand for meth versus something that's not going to turn you into a fucking ice psycho who punches people who don't smile back at them. the kind of person who walks into the smoke shop and shakes everybody's hand, even walks behind the counter to shake the staff's hands and you just play along because you know this guy is methed up and he's going to vaporize you if you blink.it's just not marketable to anybody but truckers and minesite workers and both are being subjected to very cheap and widely available piss tests these days.
>>533394055>Just seems like a better business model then milking a guy who has no money at all and sucks dick to even afford drugs.This was 20 years ago already, but at that time in the early 2000s, Baltimore was sending about $10 billion per year out of the country. The amount of revenue drugs generates is truly insane. Not today, not New York City, and not million with an M but billion with a B. The secret to business success is, of course, "sell it at volume".
>>533394250Yup, and ironically the illicit market for drugs has so much competition that it ends up benefitting the consumer because there is no incentive not to undercut if possible. You're right though that the manufacturing costs are just so low the margins can sustain low prices for a long time.>>533396268I see, interestingly though Australia has the highest prices for drugs for obvious reasons lol. Being a first world country with stringent LE on an island makes it very difficult to smuggle.
Your error is assuming like every other retard that you can just stick a price in an inflation calculator and the thing it spits out is what the modern price "should be".Inflation affects every industry differently. Inflation calculator are almost exclusively based on the housing market.
>>533394055why not bothbeside most, if not all, career criminals are gay and shit like>milking a guy who has no money at all and sucks dick to even afford drugs.gets them off... where do you think all those LGBT people arise from?
>>533393856>$50 for seven gramsyou're being ripped off, an ounce of pure shards is only $60 where I come from.
>>533396705is this the street?no shot, brother you have to be getting diluted stuff. if its even 80% purity (I wouldnt fuck with that still, meth fillers are not like heroin or cocaine fillers; you're probably getting MSM, but you could get fucking lead) that's an insane deal. I don't know man, I would test that stuff.I had to go to the ER after taking 30mg of this, not that that's a gauge for purity but this is 90% purity. They're pretty much around same cost. iykyk where im getting these numbers from.
>>533396870>They're pretty much around same costfrom the various sellers* on this nice bazaar
