Interesting...I looked up some prices on the 'net and see that in 2001, an oz. was going for about $100-200, so I guess that you are right.

I've been out of the loop for awhile now...guess I'm an old fart.

According to testimony I have heard both from local narcotics officers and DEA agents, Mexican pot prices have even gone down further since 2001. Apparently there was a spike in prices for a brief period after 9/11/01, and then prices went back into their downward slide. Today, people pick up pounds of Mexican all the time now in places like Dallas or Tucson for $400 to $800, depending on who they know, and it can even be cheaper with huge volume purchases. I don't live in a border state but I have clients telling me about $50 and $60 dollar ounces. I can remember back in my wild old days in the 80's ounces costing around $100. Of course it had been a lot cheaper than that in years prior. I guess prices went way up in response to increased drug war activity when Reagan came into office and then the suppliers adapted and figured out how to work around the increased law enforcement activity. Now more pot than ever is coming in.
