Why does cocaine have such an insane markup on the darknet?

Never been interested in coke too much until I was recently able to snag some IRL. I got an 8-ball for $180 which I thought was sort of expensive. Blew through it with a few friends in about 3 days.

Decided I'd check out Nucleus and Alphabay for prices and was shocked to see 1g listings for $110 or 8-balls for $350!

What gives? Generally I can get drugs cheaper on the net however coke seems to be the exception. Is there an explanation for it?

In theory darknet coke should be far superior to the coke you get on the street. Street coke gets stomped on quite a lot.

fucking everyone in here jerking themselves off about how cheap drugs are in their city. Wtf are you doing on the darknet then?

DNM is used to find higher quality drugs and for convenience. You pay for that shit. I don't look like a junkie and I am pretty much hiding all my drug use so I can't just go out and buy anything.

Because it's coke.

Don't go to AUS then... ~$500+/g for uncut, lab tested, pure (based on current market pricing).

Cocaine prices are controlled very closely by the cartel and the syndicates who move it and sell it. It all starts with the price they dictate per key upon arrival at said destination. The dealers are told that they MUST sell it for a price and NO lower. GIven the 400% mark up I'm sure they are happy to oblige and because NO ONE can say no and provide a lower price without the risk of cutting off the supply the happily oblige and sell it for whatever they are to sell it for. Street coke is cheaper for obvious reasons. If it not obvious i'll make it obvious. Because it's cut. Cut a gram of pure coke into two grams and you can sell them for $50 a g IRL. Still @ $100/g. Just shittier blow.

I remember the first time I bought blow online. I got the g in the mail. ripped the package open, chopped up the whole g and Tony Montan'd the whole g into the right side of my head and OD'd. After that. I realized high grade cocaine will end your ass if you treat it like the shit you get IRL.

Coke was my DOC for a long time. I had stopped doing it for a couple of years because I couldn't find any decent product. That all changed a couple of summers ago.

Even the crappy coke on the DN is better than what was available to me on the street. I gladly pay the extra money for the quality.

You get what you pay for.

You'd be absolutely disguised at what you put in your nose at street level cocaine. Just do a google search and you'll see what your getting, chances are your getting at least 50 percent of those. With the almost garunteed POISON levamisole, which most south americans cut at the source.

Im gonna cut to the chase cuz i could go on for hours about this, you buy street priced cola for 70 a g which has 30 percent cola, with 70 percent added BS to make it seem like some decent blow (at best)

Or you pay 100 a g for some blow (if you do your research) for some 80 percent blow (pretty fucking sad that thats top of the line blow) for some good shit thats not AS cut up. On the DNM.

At the end of the day its more worth your money to get the higher % of cola with less cuts compared to the little discount you get for buying garbage blow with a wayyyyy lower % of actual blow in it.

Sad what the worlds coming to but its all about doing whatever you can to fuck the next guy over for some $$.

Anybody know who has the absolute purest coke? I've heard canadianforger but no way in hell I'm paying $400+ for a ball. Even then his stuff was tested in the late 70 percent range,fire but not what I'd call pure.

Have you ever tried to dry out powdered sugar, speed paste and lidocaine?

It takes a long time to properly dry DNM cocaine.

Cocaine is much smaller import in the USA than reggie or cheap Mexican weed. The price can change drastically overnight due to huge bust. Eightballs in 1992 when I started selling where $70-$110. In around 2011ish I'd say $150-$180 was about the norm.

I've seen one bust over a weekend at the border raise the price from $30/gram to $60/gram within a week before. Meth prices are a bit more level because we have our own production in the US. A border bust might not matter as much.

anyone from one of the big cities and have tried a good dealer on the strets vs welll known vendor online?


[1 Points] turny122:

what do the average street dealers cut coke with? I'm thinking caffeine is used a lot.


[1 Points] heyfreshhhhh:

I feel like cocaine is way overrated anyway. The stories that used to be funny back in college involving cocaine now seem cringeworthy to me...just like the dealer yelling "I'm Rick James bitch" while being arrested...cocaine not even once.

I'm pretty sure Cocaine in Colombia is $5-$10 on the street, if some dealer could get a good trafficker, they could make a fortune.

Someone call Escobar

Everything is expensive on DNMs except for a few items. Cheapest coke I got was $200 for an 8-ball and most expensive I paid was $300.
