The charts contained in this report give current prices for cannabis, cocaine, and heroin at successive stages of production and trafficking.
Abstract
The price charts cover domestic marijuana, hashish, foreign source marijuana (from Mexico, Colombia, Thailand, and Jamaica), cocaine (grown in Bolivia, Colombia, and Peru), and heroin (grown in Mexico, Southwest Asia, and Southeast Asia). Prices tend to fluctuate depending on place, time of year, and local demand. Purities reported here are based on averages of available information at the various stages of trafficking. Purity is affected by drug availability, demand, and law enforcement pressure.
