This stuff came along long after my experimental "let's tryout everything on the smorgasboard" days. It would probabky have been one of the once-only ones anyway, i never yet liked one synthetic chemical drug i ever met.
I know E can be bought cheaply in bulk in Europe, and i guess the party crew here will pay the same as anywhere else - ie, whatever it takes.
But does anyonee have a more accurate idea of the economics of this ^^^ kind of smuggling scam??
nb, 'just saw the post above - what about at the other end?
How much do you pay for 250gm in Eu?
https://www.drugwise.org.uk/how-much-do-drugs-cost/
If your lucky. More like 50 back then unless it was shit and 70 quid now.
Also most grams were sold at 0.7s back then,so converting it certainly dont work out at there price of 30-40
If they got it at that price, i wish i knew some of there employees, certain profit to have been made there.

Re: British Man Arrested in Kampot for Drug Traffic
Amsterdam with some connections would be the cheapest, or one of the cheapest places in the world to source and buy such a product. Everything increases in price once you start transporting it. When its over borders and not legal the the the price increases significantly. Nobody is selling MDMA for $10 a gram in Kampot, or anywhere else in Asia. A gram isn't something you can get through in a night like an E or a gram of coke, apparently. Your maths are all wrong.angkorjohn2 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 8:52 pmI am just curious really to work out what he stood to make. if it sells for $10 per gram that's approx $2,600 $100 per gram is $26,000 not a massive amount for the risk and potential 15-20 years in Jail.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 8:47 pmDunno about today, but in my pill taking prime 14-17 years ago it was ten pills for fifty euro, so I'm fairly sure that's a per gram priceangkorjohn2 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 8:38 pm

Re: British Man Arrested in Kampot for Drug Traffic
my maths are not wrong sir, I have asked how much it would be selling for, I have no knowledge of the subject of prices, I speculated a $100 per gram others have said much much lower. If you have some knowledge of price per gram then please share. As for the maths 10 x 260 = 2600 (rounded the grams up) or 100 x 260 = 26000 - unless you have some alternative calculating system?angsta wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 1:17 amAmsterdam with some connections would be the cheapest, or one of the cheapest places in the world to source and buy such a product.

so presumably the amount this guy stood to make is within those ranges. if its $50 a gram it is $13000, - either way even at the top end it is not a lot of money to risk your freedom for,
So instead of snarky comments perhaps contribute something useful into the discussion, especially as you clearly seem to have some knowledge of this.
Re: British Man Arrested in Kampot for Drug Traffic
We paid €80 for 4gms in 2016. I’d speculate that prices might fluctuate by country, by supply route and all manner of different economic influencers. Weed was cheap as chips in the cafes of Amsterdam. I have no idea about the price of heroin or Colombian Marching Powder as I didn’t buy any. Nor pills, so can’t comment on those either. I would hazard that the mark-up to the dealer would have been worth his while at €20 per gram. Mind you, it was delivered by (I guess) the equivalent of a courier. So the dealer had an extra layer of cost and it was still €20. Either he was a “pile it high, sell it cheap” kind of guy. Or he was making ample profit at €20 to satisfy his needs.angkorjohn2 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 1:50 ammy maths are not wrong sir, I have asked how much it would be selling for, I have no knowledge of the subject of prices, I speculated a $100 per gram others have said much much lower.

You say a gram isnt something you can get thru in a night.

We used to put a gram in a rizzla and bomb them(swallow) at raves in my younger days,and we would get thru 1 or 2 grams each easily in a night.
