The price of drugs varies between different localities and over time. Prices also tend to fluctuate with fashion (demand) and availability (supply). Current prices of drugs in the UK tend to fall within the following bands:
Drug types
Cost
Amphetamine £8-15 per gram
Cannabis £60-120 per ounce
Cocaine powder £40-80 per gram
Crack cocaine £20-25 per rock
Ecstasy £4-10 per tablet
Heroin £50-80 per gram
LSD £1.50-4.50 per dose
Methadone
£1 per 1 ml/1mg DTF
*whether it is home-grown or a strong commercially grown variety.
The amount people will pay for a drug depends on how well they know the source, the amount they buy and how regularly they buy. Recent evidence suggests that while cannabis and LSD prices have remained remarkably stable for over ten years, prices of cocaine, heroin and ecstasy are falling. The prices above reflect some of these changes.
