Yesterday I had a blog entry about the different types of #marijuana and prices in the Netherlands. Today we'll look at how prices are worldwide . The prices used in this article are from a study done by UNODC, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. (http://tinyurl.com/jnwyle50).

The average price per region (1 gram)

Now you may understand why drug travelers take as much risk. It is quite a lucrative trade from Africa to smuggle marijuana to other regions .

As I dive further into the Excel file,I noticed that in Guinea we getting the most weed for our money. A gram of marijuana costs just one penny there! But if you like marijuana , do not live in Bermuda, marijuana goes for $ 124 per gram . That is almost $ 25 per joint!

That is 12400 times more expensive than a gram of marijuana in Guinea !. It's even 9.5 times more expensive than in the Netherlands, where cannabis is easily available .

Want to compare the prices of your country with that of other countries? See the chart below ( click on the chart below ) And tell me what the price is in the country where you live in.....

I live in Belarus, and at us marijuana costs very much.
$25 for 1 gram.
and an average salary at us $200 :(

Near 20$ in the States, though in NYC you'd have to add 20% There should be a Marijuana/Criminal Justice spending Pair, so we can see how much money each nation spends specifically on arresting, trying, prosecuting for pot. Maybe then we'd understand why they don't want it legalized.

Why is it so expensive in Bermuda?
