Had heard from friends that pills etc in London are ridiculously cheap, had no idea they were cheaper than beer though. And four pounds for a pint? What a joke. Must include the cost of all the reams of drinking and alcohol sales regulations ..

Perhaps if they stopped taxing the tits off grog, we would all be better off. But governments the world over won’t do that, they are too addicted to the revenue stream. Beer is far too expensive in the UK, but is too dear in OZ too. Try a pub in town in Sydney. . Bloody rip off. So much for looking after our culture. And a beer (or three) in the pub is very much traditional Pommy and OZ culture.

The world of drugs is indeed a world to it’s own The Users & Losers and The Winners & Grinners. I live in a world surrounded by both. I live in the real world too.
Read “Shades of Omerta”, when it is published. Make “Underbelly” look like a fairy tale.

Another great winning effort for the “War on Drugs”.

What next? Easily available? Higher quality?
Oh wait … they’re already achieved that.

[...] Update: Sure, his post is over a month old — which shows how on the ball I am more than anything else — but Yobbo makes a good point on a similar subject. [...]

Some Pommy friends of mine came back from a holiday in the UK a coupla years ago. Even then they were making me insanely jealous by talking about “2 quid a pill” and “50 quid a gram”. Can we move Australia closer to Europe soon please?

3 quid a line, i think these ministers are comparing prices for the drugs they boughts in the 60’s, more like 6 or 7 quid

Perhaps the Government could manufacture drugs (I believe the only LEGAL manufacturer of cocaine for medical purposes is in Scotland) and tax them to the extent they tax alcohol and cigarettes. The usual suspects could get outraged about this – which would divert them from climate change, id cards and other anny state crap.
