cocaine

I guess its cheap in south america..

but how cheap is cheap, and why is it so expensive in the US.
Its like 100$ gram in the states i guess, and my friend from cali says its like 3 dollars.

If i were you, i would make contact at the FARC website... and email them and ask where you can purchase it from them at a really kool discounted price....but you will probably will have to hook up with them to get the "employee" discount..they might even barter with you.....those friendly guys over at FARC will take care of you....and they can keep a secret too! =)

Just my opinion...

The difference between US$3.00 and US$100.00 is $97 profit... Whoever them FARC boys and girls are (largely a forced conscript child army?), it seem like they understand capitalism!plátano

Don't forget the middlemen Cocaine sold in Colombia just has to be driven down into town, and has a small markup.

Coke sold in the U.S. must be smuggled in (payoffs to the police, DEA, Customs, CIA, Homeland Security, Coast Guard, the Bush family, etc.). Then the coke must be sold to wholesalers, then retailers, all of which take a piece of the pie, and then the customer, one gram at a time.

Hers is a suggestion for a New Forum Category: Where In Colombia to find street level cocaine and prostitution. Maybe Peter or Tinto can call it "Prostitution and Cocaine in Colombia 101"..i never realized there were so mannnnyyyyy "Experts" on the cocaine industry here on PBH....maybe they can expound on first hand, not 1,000th hand personal "experiences" with the industry and the associated corruption...??? or are some spouting out the wrong blowhole or regurgitating what they heard at some point in their lives?

I gotta agree with that statement, many Colombians believe that gringos or people growing up around gringos (me) like doing lots of illegal drugs. To that I say, Bullshit!!
I grew up in NYC and I detested drugs even when it was in style all over the city. A few times during while drunken parties in my apt in the Village I did tripped and landed head first on a pile of cocaine, but that was purely accidental. While in Colombia my poison of choice is booze, chicharron frito and 10 peso hookers.

Blame the US? If drug use is really more prevalent in the US, it sounds like we should blame Colombia in that sense, for having those retarded anti-drug attitudes! I'd hardly call Colombia a 'utopia' if they in fact do LESS drugs than the USA.

I don't 'blame' the USA for having lots of drug use, I 'blame' it precisely for WASTING MONEY on that anti-drug bullshit. I think that Colombia has better laws regarding drug use than the US on the books, and I think that people who disagree with that are ignorant and stupid.

I don't know much about cocaine, because I also just hate the stuff, but the quality of the weed in Colombia needs to be worked on in a big way. However it's even cheaper compared to here than the cocaine by the sounds of it so that helps make up for it. They need to start focusing on quality now though!

dwmte says on Jun 26, 2006, 13:11:

blame??? who´´s to blame? everybody has their wants/needs, likes/dislikes, etc. myself, i never liked the perico in my nose, never. when i had fabricas here in the late 80´s amd early 90´s i bought it from the kids in the street in poblado at the corner of cl.9 and oriental (ave poblado) i would just stick my finger in the powder and eat it. i had to cover over a hundred miles a day and deal with 12 tallers and about 60 to 70 employees. the ´´blow´´ was like a stout cup of coffee, without congesting my nose and i could sleep when i wanted.

kat...as for smoking, ´´blow´´ for smoking, has been cleaned of alien substance and is for the most part, pure. it´´s called free base or crack. and as for the raspachinas, they know. they clean the paste with diesel or gasoline. not so very tasty. in the earlier days when pablo was still about, around poblado and up by the represa near retiro, he had a pizza parlor and a couple of buildings there and in those days you could get ether-cleaned blow. now that´´s something to hawk about. clean, pure and incredible. it comes as now surprise that the indigena of centuries past treated the coca as a gift divine. they still do.

in my modest aged opinion, anything made and put here by GOD, is good. no exceptions. GOD didn´´t make no trash. si o no?

As I have said before, this is the internet. Does anyone really think that everyone here is a goody two shoes? I dare say enough of us have connections to all the guerilla groups and many narcos in Colombia but we'd be stupid to talk about it.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

I was in Parque Poblado looking to buy some beer 3am in the morning and some guy held a big bag of cocaine in my face. They think all us gringos are looking for it.
In Cartagena, they think we all want sex. I was in a pharmacy and without asking for anything, the guy behind the counter showed me some viagra. Another time I walked in a pharmacy and a women behind the counter started showing me some condoms. Something tells me we have a bad reputation..ha ha

"It does seem to be a popular fantasy here on PBH and among some Colombians to put down my country at the drop of a hat, blame the US for everything and then speak of Colombia in the utopia sense."

Don Gringo,

Oh, and americans never put down Colombia? Every Colombian I know blames both, the supplier and the user, yet the attitude by most americans, as demonstrated by your country's portrayal of Colombia, is to only blame the suppliers (colombians)!

If colombians call americans "drug users".... then good for them! Colombians have had to put up with a lot of mud-slinging from americans for a long time in american movies, tv shows (Miami Vice), biased magazines and news articles, etc. It was about time that the colombians gave a little back!

Don Gringo,


Dude, all I'm saying is that colombians have the right to defend themselves. Besides, you know very well that in Colombia, americans and the US are known for other things, mostly good things, but sadly the same can't be said about how Colombia in known in the US.

Let me ask you something since you live in Colombia, is the US always mentioned hand-in-hand with drug use in the colombian media? The answer, as you know, is a resounding NO! But unfortunately, 99% of the time ignorant americans assholes can't seem to detach Colombia and drugs.

HERE'S SIMON!!!!

Obviously Americans have more money to put up their noses like that than Europeans or pretty much anybody else do. Really the way to break it down should be by city or town, not by country :P I would love to see how for example NYC London Tokyo Moscow and Rio all compare to each other!

The few times I accidentally fell head first in a pile of that disgusting dreaded cocaine I wanted to bang everything within reach and it did not matter how fat, ugly, old or smelly the woman was. You lose complete control and all you want is sex, and forget about watching porno, your head wanna explode from excitement, just be ready to regret it the following day.
I prefer booze cause no matter how drunk you get you still want the finest girl around.

Wow, $100 USD for a gram? Not in Miami $40 USD street value and cheaper if you know someone. But they tell you “Say no to drugs�.

Good luck,

just remember this, the next time you think cocaine is funny. a couple of months before my wife and i got married, we got an emergency call from family there. the one member of the family, who was never mixed up in anything illegal, never drank, never smoked, who basically worked, and looked after thier mom, was shot and killed on his way home from work, not more than 20 minutes after telling the mother in law that he was on his way home, because they mistook him for someone else. almost 2 years now, and the mother in law is still inconsolable. yup, cocaine, ha ha, very funny...

Relax - Chill Out! Hi Famsearch,

Cocaine is not funny but you need to loosen up. The story you told us is sad and most people probably wished it did not happen. But you have to face the facts, there are a million of reasons to be sad, depress, angry, etc. We need to laugh and have a good time, anytime we can because these good / enjoyable times are very limited.

Regards,

Peter Miami

i know what you mean peter, and we did have a good time at the wedding. it's the little things that stick, like having the mother in law hug me on the first day, telling me that one son was taken from her, and another has been returned. just got a little sore since he was killed by the folks who supply that $3 a gram crud. i guess i need to be a little more "colombian" about things. live for today, because who knows what tomorrow will bring.
