'Cheaper than Coffee', you gotta be jokin' !!

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Just read something in the 'Daily Mail' that's made me laugh...

They are suggesting that a line of Cocaine costs as little as a cappuccino. They say a gram can be bought for £39, why not just say £40?? Apparently in East Anglia prices are most expensive at £47 a gram...

This is the greatest part though, I quote "With users able to get up to 20 lines from that amount, that works out at £1.95 a hit, making cocaine cheaper than a cappuccino at many designer coffee shops" Are these guys for real!!!

They go on to suggest "A new breed of users typically includes those who split a gram with friends at weekends"

And this.... "An 1/8th of resin, which is enough for around 20 joints" These guys, what are they smoking!!


Talk about shite information!!

    I guess if the cocaine was nigh on completely pure then you could get 20 lines out of it, but most people wouldnt.

    And £1.95 for a big coffee, you're having a laugh arent you! Where in London can you get it for that?!

    A big coffee in Central London is going to easily be closer to £3, if not more.

    Although, someone I know works in Soho and manages to get a coffee for about £2, so maybe you just have to know where to go. But mostly you would be paying close to £3 for a large coffee.

    It is a stupid mark up and I very rarely drink at those kind of places, to my shame I do rather like Starbucks 'sunrise' muffins though.

    I dont drink the coffee, its dire, just the muffin, thats all, it has lots of nice things in it, including some oats on the top, so its really healthy.

    To be fair, if you've got proper coke, it's surprising how little you need to get a decent buzz...especially if you're wanting to avoid being completely fucked.

    yeh but good coke isn't everywhere, you're not going to get 20 lines out of your average gram, and who makes thin lines anyway, most people just take a good wee bit out and cut it into biggish line.
