Why is weed so expensive in Europe compared to other countries?

Weed is bulky and smelly so it is harder to smuggle than other drugs. That means more of it has to be produced locally. However unless you go to Albania you don't really have the space or the isolation from law enforcement to do outdoor grows so it has to be grown in growops. These are expensive to setup and maintain and they are heavily targeted by the police and by gangs looking to rip off the growers. All of this adds costs that keep the price of weed high. In some places hash is cheaper by the gram than weed since it is produced in Morocco where labor is cheap and there is little police pressure. In that case the only real cost is buying it in Morocco and smuggling it into Europe.
