The Marijuana stuff seems fine price wise. $100 per gram of hard drugs seems far to expensive, especially at the levels of purity the government will likely allow.
Doing some more research, Pure Cocaine production wise costs something like $800 tops when it comes to producing a Kilogram of Cocaine. http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/mexicos-cartels-and-economics-cocaine 1 Kilogram = 1,000 Grams. So we're talking 8 cents a gram of cocaine. So while a gram is $100 now... drug dealers can go waaaaay down to match price and still make a hefty profit. That's before you even consider cutting... and I imagine that US legal cocaine will be cut very heavily. It's not so bad with Meth... I forget how it is with heroin... but Cocaine? A gram of Cocaine... is going to have to be REALLY cheap. Which means crack will be even cheaper.
At the "pure" purity... $20 for a gram is probably more accurate. Assuming that they regulate purity like i'd expect.... I'd think no more then $5.
As for the "Drug Taverns". I don't really like the idea. I mean, i feel like most people will want to use in their home, and therefore will then just buy illegally. |
The fee will go up over time through lobbyism to stop competition after a few groups gain a monopoly. The prices i made up for hard drugs were slip shot i admit.
how about this
heroin: $100 a gram
cocain: $100 an 8ball
crystal: $100 a teener
All depending on purity of coarse. Street prices basically. The illegal drug producers will prefer the legal market for obvious reasons. If people don't choose to go to a drug tavern they can go to the drug store and making prescription drugs available to the public would be necessary too. I think that's a good idea. Especially for medicines that cure.
