Cost of cannabis in the UK - a maximum of 2 years imprisonment following a prior formal warning :)

The level of drug abuse and the crime rate in Oz is about the same as in the
Uk. Australia has a nicer climate, fantastic beaches, less crowded conjested, more open spaces, but don't expected it to be drug or crime free, after all Australia was a penal colony. :D

Yep but there are more of some drugs and less of others. Apparently E's here are more likley to be contaminated, cocaine is very expensive however it is great news if you are into smack, amphetamines and dope. The quality of dope here is much better and there are well established drug routes from SE Asia for the heroin.

I have heard a few reports of needles in Bondi from the past when it was a bit of a drop out zone. Not seen anything myself and most of the smelly hippies are now priced out of the area.

When l lived in Adelaide you were allowed to grow up to ten marijuana plants
for personal use. However alot of people on the dole and low incomes did it to sell to make ends meet. Because there was a limit of ten plants alot of people would try to create 10 enormous marijuna plants by adding all types of different fertilisers, some ended up really massive. :D

I could have sworn the streets were paved with gold in Ozzy, so the latest count on drugs is

E £3 vs. $25 per tab, 1-0 to the UK
Canabis $300 per ounce vs. £120, same cost.



Who knows some other relative costs.

Just yesterday had my 14 yr old son telling me about some kids in his class who had read about the effects of Datura--- deadly nightshade to you and me- and tried it out cause it was cheaper than buying local drug stuff. Anyway one of them od !!!

It is not the country - some plonkers are plonkers anywhere.
