Can't be many worse places in the world to be messing with drugs...

Heard about it on the news this morning.  If it's not bad enough to be a drug smuggler anyway, why would you risk doing it in countries that have the death penalty ? Idiotic.

Greed, end of. Probably wont actually get the death penalty but still. In all honestly I think I'd rather have the death penalty rather than life in the shitty prisons in that part of the world.

There's must be other countries to get stuff from that don't have the death penalty. 

Massive amounts of drugs are produced in Burma and sent across into Thailand, a fair amount is still produced in Thailland and Laos too. So they are always looking for greedy mules to willing to take the risk of getting it through to different parts of the world for a large lump of £££. Remember that most will in fact get through.

I don't know how they get 4.8kg to have a street value of £1.6 mill , as reported
They must be cutting it with so much crap to get to this figure that there would hardly be any cocaine left. They do seem to exaggerate the street value of these busts.

I have no idea, but I would have thought it would make more sense to cut it at the final destination so the package getting carried is as small as possible.

That is what would happen I presume, but when they give a valuation of the seizure it is always the street value (i.e after it has been cut up). No way should 4.8kg be worth £1.6 million unless they are mixing it with so much crap.

It probably includes P&P as well :)

The Royal Thai Police will be getting their cut too, all parts of the crime chain do  ;whistle;

I'm totally ignorant to such matters, what is the 'going rate' for a gm?

I would not know but if I was to hazard a guess, I would say around £50. Just a guess mind

Would it not be 'diluted' that much before it's sold on the 'street'?

So if the ' street value ' is to be believed, you can imagine what people are actually putting up their nose, thinking it is cocaine

1g pure will make 10 street easy, prolly 20 in Scotland ;)

Hair and nail powder is the main ingredient.

£20-£40 a gram

10-20 lines per gram, depending on quality.

So, in some areas, it's cheaper than lager.

I don't know where you got those figures from but I would guess your figures are off.

Especially  getting 20 lines from a gram

A wrap is not usually a full gram Im told

Did you quote the street value on the news too  :D

Obviously I got it from the telegraph

Thats proof then....not to believe everything you read in the paper. ;D

She's been sentenced to death by firing squad wtf. And her prosecution prior to sentencing said basically they expected her to get 15 years behind bars.

Sounds like you're drumming up business to me :)

Surely the quality can't affect the number of lines in a gram, it's quantity of powder.  1gm of baby powder is probably pretty much the same quantity of 1gm of cocaine.  


Irrelevant anyway, dealing drugs is bad.

Not at all.. a double espresso is about as strong as I do.  :)

Those reports show though what people are actually putting up their noses thinking its cocaine, scary!

Death sentence won't happen mate, they just dish that out as a warning, govt will get involved. In all honestly I think life in those prisons out there is horrible anyway, I would rather die.

She will probably do about 6yrs and then get some sort of pardon and be back in blighty

The average purity of coke on the streets in Uk is 10% and will cost you around £40. You can buy a g in Bolivia for £1 and that will be 99% pure. So you can turn that 1g into 10g for the Uk market, and hence £1 of third world drugs is worth £400 here. This is why drug trafficking is popular.
