MDMA: Eccy $60-$80AUS ~ $40-$55US for a capsule. Varies greatly depending on
        how many are around and the quality.
        Not sure about bulk price - never had enough money to waste.
      quality: Varies greatly as well. Some are weak and some seem to contain
        anything but MDMA. The occasional good ones are around, but you will
        either have to pay a lot, or know the right people.
      availability: There is a lot around just ask any of the people dancing
        right at the front of a rave.
        And while you are there, get them a drink of water :)

SHROOMS: Basically non existant in the Melbourne scene. No-one really knows

ACID: Relatively common but usually of low quality. A tyical tab usually goes
    for about $10 I guess, but you can get better shit for around $25.
EXTACY: similar; You can get it but it's pretty trashy. I have no idea as
    around unis and at clubs is basically the only place you can get it.
PCP: "often laced with weed and a friend got some for $30 for a G. He said it
    fucked him up bigtime tho."
CRACK: isn't as common here as in the states, but it is still popular.
HEROIN: probably the most common of the hard drugs
COCAINE, SPEED: available as well.
-Note: "those are all the main drugs. I guess you could include stuff like
nitrous, butane, DMT and shit but they are pretty uncommon or they are fake.
The main drug in Melbourne is easily mary-jane"

(Currency : $1 CDN = ~$0.72 US)
$1US=~$1.30 CDN or $1 CDn = ~$0.72US.
Marihuana: $10-15 [$7.20-10.80]/g; $70-90 [$50.40-64.80]/oz.
    Excellent quality; 2-3 hits will get you VERY baked. Mostly tight, moist
    skunky buds. 1 g will give about 5-9 highs. Very available; never a problem
    finding it. Mostly locally grown
Hashish: $10-15.00 [$7.20-10.80]/g. Quality similar to marihuana. Slightly less
    available then marihuana, but still easy to find.
LSD: $3-5 [$2.16-3.60]/hit (0.5 cm paper). Sold mostly on blank blotter paper.
    Good quality. Good availability, sometimes may have to do some looking
    around. At present time [Oct '93] very high supply, dealers are fronting
    sheets at < $1.00 [$0.72]/hit as demand hasn't really changed.
Psilocybe mushrooms: $5-8 [$3.60-5.76]/g, ~$90.00 [$64.80]/oz. Good quality.
    Usually from British Columbia (where they are grown)
Cocaine: $90-120 [$64.80-86.40]/g. Quality varies. Not as available as
    marihuana, but if you know the right people getting it is no problem.
Heroin: ~$150 [$108]/g. Excellent quality, usually > 60% pure. Like mushrooms
    from British Columbia, and imported by Asian Triad Gangs who have greatly
    increased purity, availability and lowered price. Less available than
    cocaine, but again, with the right people there aren't any problems.
Methamphetamine: ~$100 [$72]/g. Varied quality. From biker gangs located in
    Ontario and Quebec. Not really available unless you know people in the
    biker scene.
Mescaline: Price unknown, quality unknown. Only the people who bring it here
    and the people close to them ever see the stuff as supply is low; you
    really have to know the right people. Rarely available, usually sold in the
    form of Peyote buttons.
XTC: $10-$15 [$7.20-10.80]/g. Quality varies. Availability similar to cocaine.


    Province: British Columbia
Cigarettes: Usually $5-6 [US$3.60-4.32]/25. [March '94]

Location: Richmond
Date: March '94
Marijuana: Very good quality, locally grown, $45[US$32.40]/eight

Location: Victoria
Date: January '94
MJ: $15[~US$10.80]/g, $35[$25.20]/eighth $90[$64.80]/quarter
LSD: $5[~$3.60]/hit. Quality Average to good, Availability Average
Coke: $350[~$252]/8-ball. Quality Average (most here has been stomped on)
    Availability Common
'Shrooms: When available, 15[$10.80]/gram. Quality reports good for the most
    part, occasional complaint of lack of potency or too many spores.
    Availability Practically non-existant (low rainfall)


    Province: Manitoba
Location: Winnipeg
Date: November '94
Marijuana:
    * 1 gram: $15;
    * 7 grams: $50-$75 (quality difference)
    * 14 grams: $125-$150 (quality difference)
    Those prices reflect average street prices.  The prices drop by $5 to $20
    bucks if you have a good dealer.
Magic Mushrooms:
    * 1 gram: $5-$15 dollars with $10 being avg.
    * 3 grams: $20-$30 with $20 if you have a good dealer
    * 7 grams: $50-$70 again with $50/good dealer
    (The prices vary quite a bit, sometimes the supply and demand get WAY out
    of wack)
LSD: 1 hit: $5  (Usually it's 5 bucks/hit up to 10 hits then the assholes start
    to lower the price.  I'm sure there are better deals out there, just
    haven't found one yet).
Cocaine:  (Not really in this scene, but supposedly I can get 1 gram for $100)


    Province: Nova Scotia
Location: Halifax
Date: middle September '93
LSD: CDN$5-$7/hit [US$ ~3.60-5.04]. Discounts for bulk purchases. Quality
    varies widely. Most are not trademarked. I've seen small purplish-green
    dots, unmarked blotter, and also blotter with a picture of three monkeys
    emerging from three barrels, with the word "FUN" beneath. The last was the
    strongest; apx. equivalent to 2 dots. I have heard of many more varieties
    being available at different times and from different sources, but since I
    don't have direct experience with them I can't comment.  Price/hit seems to
    be the same regardless of quality. Availability also varies widely.  It is
    often plentiful for many months, and then dries up completely for many more
    months.


    Province: Ontario
Date: March '94
Cigarettes: Usually ~$3-3.25 [US$2.16-2.34]/25.

Weed: Cnd$300[US$216] per oz. (too expensive for cheap Mexican weed)

-These 3 drugs are the main drugs that are mostly sold in Ottawa.  Anything
else comes from the psychiatrist such as Ritalin and Prozac.  These two psych
drugs are being sold in the streets of Ottawa for $5 per cap or pill.
 [December '94]

  * "skunk" $220.00 an ounce, some crystals, no sticks, this shit could

    should send it back! powder, sticks
Hash:
  * $20.00 a gram, hard, crumbly, good stone.

    Availability 10/10
Pot  : 15$[~US$10.80]/gram. $5-7[$3.60-5.04] for an ounce and more.
    Availability 9/10
LSD  : 5$[$3.60] for a blue acid or a candy. Availability 8/10 (tend to be
    harder to find)

    have problems finding some)
Coke : 125$[$90]/g. Availability 0/10 on the street. 11/10 if you are a good
    client.

Location: Toronto
Date: January 1994
MJ: $100.00 Canadian (~70-75 US) for an unweighed smallish 1/2 (more like a 1/3
    or a bit less I think). GOOD bud, fragrant (Not skunk) with visible
    brownish "threads," quite strong - 2 hits was plenty, 3 a little much.
    Probably grown in Ontario, it seems quite fresh, a little moist and similar
    to other stuff supposedly grown around western Ontario mostly indoors.
[other source, March '94]
MJ: CND$70-90[~US$95]/quarter
Hash: CND$290-320[~US$395-436]/oz
[3rd source, June '94]
Pressed Jamacian weed: $150 oz wholesale price...but 1/8 of the weight is seed.
    Available everywhere.
Jamacian Hash: $275 - $300 oz. real good
North Ontario "outdoor" buds: $250 oz, $900 qp. Nice buzz, but rather harsh on
    the throat
Hydroponic Mushrooms: $220 oz. Very fine, 1g good, 2 is great (from Montreal so
    the price is probably less there)
XTC: $30 - $40. impossible to find pure, at most raves it MIGHT be 30% and this
    is for "connected" regulars. Usually 33% mix of X, cocaine, and meth...
PCP "Poo" - not my scene, but its available....  same goes for Ludes and shit
    like that
Heroin: $40 for one-nights worth. Nice brown powder is quite prevalent, and
    pure enough so that you don't have to inject.
Smart drugs: trick here is to get to know the guys running the smart bars at
    parties, then after a few parties ask them for the "real" smart
    drugs...otherwise your just taking smart nutrients (waste)
Cocaine: price depends on supplier/purity. From Bikers a gram of IMO shit is
    $90 - $100. If you're going the "black dude with a pager" route then look
    to spend the same amount of money for coke that is  1/2 pure. I've seen an
    oz of medium stuff $1100....  also VERY high quality (injection  only)
    stuff is $110 - $125
 [other source, November '94]
Acid: sheet (100): about CND$150. "Good stuff"
 [other source, late November '94, Scarborough(east end of Toronto)]
Marijuana:
    * Mushy, light-green killer hydro, the stuff that won't burn, goes for $15
      CDN a gram, $40 an eighth, or $290 an ounce.  Two tokes and you've got a
      nice buzz.  Sometimes hard to find, other times the only thing around.
    * Other weed, standard price is $10 a gram, decent quality, not a very
      strong smell.  Not hard to find.
Hashish:
    * Red Seal, dark black hash wrapped in a red plastic.  Gold colour when
      broken open.  Strong, sweet smell, consistancy of silly-putty.  5
      bottle-tokes and you're pretty stoned.  $20 a gram, $50 an eighth, $300
      an ounce.  Right now, not found too often.
    * Crumbly, brittle, light-brown hash.  Very little odour.  Gets the job
      done, takes about 8 bottle-tokes tto get you pretty stoned.  $15 a gram,
      $40 an eighth, $240 an ounce.  All over the place.
LSD: usually pretty decent dosages, but there's good and bad.  Usually plain
    blotter, sometimes stars or cartoon characters.  Design means nothing here.
    $5 a hit, $70 for 20 hits, $220 for a sheet(unless you know someone)
Extacy: Usually only found at raves, but really weak stuff can be found on the
    streets for $10 a capsule.  The good stuff goes for up to $35, but it's
    very easy to get ripped off.
Shrooms:  Very hard to find this time of year, if you can get them they're $15
    to $20 a gram.  Shroom cookies are available occasionally, very potent.
    One cookie is $15, half a cookie gives you decent visuals.
Tobacco: 25 cigarettes for $3, 200 cigarettes for $19.
Alcohol: Beer is $25 for 24 bottles, $15 for 12 bottles, $8 for 6 bottles.
    Hard liquor is $11 for 375mL, $19 for 750 mL.

-Occasionally special stuff turns up here like Russian (allegedly) PCP blotter
(maybe 2cm*2cm square), DOM, ketamine tabs and MDMA mixed with an interesting
psychedelic compound.
 [2nd source, June '94]
HASH: Abundant, 60-80 FMK[$11-$15] per gram. Note: Don't buy Russian black
    hash. Although cheap, it's of very poor quality.
MARIJUANA: Rather scarce, 40 FMK[$7.50]/g. Note: Home growing common, but kept
    very secret. Growers rarely sell marijuana to anybody.
SPEED: Quite common, 300-400 FMK[$55-75]/g
LSD: Availability varies, prices vary a lot, 30-200 FMK[$6-37] per hit. Sold as
    blotter.
MDMA: Scarce, 250 FMK[$46] per hit
MUSHROOMS: Season from September to October. Various Psilocybe species. Not
    very common, requires a trip to the countryside. Hardly ever sold on the
    street.
ALCOHOL: By far the most popular intoxicant. Very good domestic beer. Prices
    comparable to other Scandinavian countries, exept beer and wine a little
    cheaper.
    Speciality: 'Salmiakki' = Vodka mixed with ammonium chloride. Very strong,
    the ammonium chloride takes away the taste of alcohol, so it's easy to get
    really drunk after a few shots. Industrial scale production banned due to
    massive popularity among teenagers. Still available in restaurants.

Hash: 80 FIM/g - Can't get good stuff, then again I'm not asking everybody I

    openly about their usage (!).
Sinsemilla: 30-50 FIM/g - Homegrown, I know several people who grow and when
    they don't have money sell from their stash. Good stuff.

General comment - The availabilty of substances can vary dramatically
throughout the year it depends what comes during each months, police seizures
etc.
Hash: all types 15 pounds for an eighth of an ounce (has been for at least 5
    years). Quality varies - good stuff red/gold seal ,morrie black etc.
    Kiddies can get fobbed off with 'formula' - horrible petrol/diesel like
    stuff. Along with grass the easiest to get. If you know a dealer and he's a
    brilliant (and probably stupid) friend you may get a small sample of
    '0','double O' or 'treble O' - cannabis resin laced with opium. Its pretty
    unusual to see this in the market place though as its so valued. As with
    anything discounts are there for buying an ounce ;say 100 pounds an ounce
    roughly.
Grass: Same availability as dope - pubs or friends. Same price
Acid: From 2.50 pounds to 5 for a tab. Types: super mario, jurassics parks
    (shite), gates to heaven, strawberries and hundreds of others. Quality does
    vary greatly. Certain pubs are easy to score in but mainly from
    aquaintances who deal small time.
speed: similar price to acid but slightly harder to get.
Cocaine: 60-80 pounds a gramme

10mg diamorphine ampoule - 2.50 pounds (Grey market pharmaceutical shit from
    Dr.Johnny Marks)
100mg diamorphine ampoule - 20 - 25 pounds (a man-sized hit! Same source)
10mg methadone ampoule - 2.50 pounds (all over)
100mg methadone linctus - 10 pounds
Acid (Blotter) - 1 hit - 2 pounds

    I score my stuff from friends or from a local taxi driver who delivers

Hash: Excellent squidgy black gold seal.(usually Afghan or Kashmir): 64 UKst
    [~$113] per 1/2 oz. It is possible to get at least 5 or 6 different

    stuff here like `Zero-Zero' or Pollen.
Weed/Killer Skunk much much more easier to get here in the last couple of
    months than ever before. Last year I saw grass here maybe once or twice,
    now it's available virtually all the time. My dealer makes Fudge which
    he farms out at 5 [~$9] a bag with a being 1/2 oz. or so. We can get
    greenage called Haze ? which is about 50 [~$88]/ 1/4 oz and it is about

Marijuana: Usually sold by people in flats/houses here, with some pubs that
are well known for scores.
  Four main types generally available:
- SoapBar: 5 pounds/gram, 15/eight, 45/.5 ounce, ~600/9 ounce
    Hard and dark it comes in large lumps just like a bar of soap!
    by far the best consistant smoke it is available most of the time.
    "prices have not changed to my knowledge in 6 years."
- Fluff or Slate
    Lighter in both weight and appearance to soapbar, comes in square flat
    pieces like a slate! Not as good as soapbar (seems to contain less oil),
    although when burnt it fluffs up to about double the size. Prices are
    the same as for soap but the deals tend to be slightly bigger.
- Bush or Weed
    Usually of poor quality with very small deals, does contain seeds and
    buds but not really a good smoke. Prices are approx DOUBLE than the
    others.
- Black
    Black, flexible, smelly and it doesn't crumble but rolls into lines
    like plastacine. The quality again is usually worse than soap and fluff
    and is not generally bought (except for some groups who for some reason
    like it better than the others ). prices/deals same as fluff.
Lsd: ~2-3 pounds/trip. Available from simular sources. The trips are all
    usually blotting paper about 5mm to 10mm square, range from strawberrys,
    purple ohms, super marios to chess pieces, white lightnings and flying
    keys. Quality is good and consistant.
XTC: ~10-20/pill, depending on quality. Always available, similar to lsd
    range and choice fluctuate so much.
Cocaine: 45-60/gram. Rarely about, quality unknown.
Heroin: Always avialable, but range, quality and price is unreliable
